Mum was widowed in the 1950s left with three children under five never remarried no family to help no idea how she managed to keep us together but she did.
Fast forward to 1970s my two brothers on marriage estranged her and me at different times for no given reason.
She became a big part of my family and died in the 1990s still unable to accept this cruel act.
Yesterday totally unexpected I received a phishing email with many relevant details of my early life so not a scam .
It is my brother in the email he wishes to reconnect and not to hold grudges!!!
He doesn't know its me he is just guessing and probably sent numerous emails to others I blocked him.
Having read many of your emails regarding estrangement that you still love but not like your AC I sadly have neither for both of them.
If mum was still alive I probably could have asked her what she wanted to do but after all these years I have no feelings towards either of them.
Should I have let the past go? I think I did the right thing.
