We have three offspring. Two are grown and one is still at home in his early teens. The two oldest are hostile toward us but want a relationship with our youngest and want us to stay out of the way while claiming "rights" to our youngest. A few years back, our oldest son was encouraged by us, while we were still on speaking terms, to have a relationship with his younger brother but he refused. Then, about a year ago the oldest went on a hate/curse spewing tirade against us on the phone telling us never to contact him again. A few months ago he contacted our youngest via email and tried to start a relationship. This threw our youngest for a loop. He knew our oldest had cursed out his mother and left her in tears. Our youngest doesn't trust his older brother anymore and was bewildered. This is where I stepped in and replied to the email that he should leave our youngest alone and keep his hate-spewing to himself. He said he wanted to have a relationship with his little brother without our input. I really doubt his motives and declined him contact with our youngest.
This brings me to our daughter. She has expressed her desire to also have a relationship with our youngest yet wants us to stay clear. She refuses a relationship with us and wants us to stay out of the way. She claims she has a "right" to our youngest. She has invited our youngest to visit her for a week in Florida without our permission. She wants to fly him there and take him to all the tourist attractions. She claims our youngest is an adolescent and therefore can make his own decisions. Our youngest is perplexed why the play for him by his siblings and hasn't even bothered to reply to his sister's email.
I told our youngest that I have concerns about our daughters motives and I have decided he will not be going.
The two oldest know I suffer from an anxiety disorder and I feel they may be attempting to play on that.
The wickedness in this world is astounding.
