I have 2 wonderful sons in their 30’s and I am bursting with pride at what they have achieved. My problem is that my batchelor/childless brother who is quite wealthy due to his work and life choices: ie not to have a relationship, completely dominates them. He talks as if he is their father (who I am divorced from) and expresses annoyance to me when they haven’t made contact with him. He interferes with their lives but they accept this as he has helped them out financially and has now given them a large amount of money for house deposits which he hasn’t mentioned to me. Having just retired with a lump sum from my pension I was planning to give them some of it but it pales into insignificance at what he has given them and I feel very hurt that he has ‘trumped’ my gift.
Today my younger son who has come back for the weekend announced that the two boys are meeting my brother tomorrow (Mother’s Day) for lunch. Ok, they’re taking me out tomorrow evening but again, my brother is put first. I give a huge amount of practical support to DS1 and my wonderful grand daughter under very difficult circumstances since his marriage broke up ( that no one else in our family gives) and I feel desperately upset by all this.
Can I use my bus pass on London buses?
