So Stressed - Stupid Family

My brother is an idiot. He has almost no life experience, he’s over 30 and living at home, he works for my dad so he’s not exactly unemployed, but he does not put in a full 40 hour work week.

All of that is just kind of annoying… but now he is refusing to get vaccinated. And his reasoning has changed from week to week. All of it based off of people’s opinions instead of scientific fact. And if he lived on his own I wouldn’t be so pissed off about it. But we are not okay with our children being around people that have not been vaccinated. So because he will not get the vaccine anytime soon I had to tell my parents that we are going to need to stay away from their house. And that means that our son cannot keep coming over and we will not be attending Thanksgiving or Christmas. And I just kind of hate my brother for being such a selfish asshole and my parents for enabling his behavior for so long that they don’t feel like they can stand up and tell him to get the shot or get out.

This is my fourth pregnancy… I really wish I could share everything with my mom, but I don’t feel like I can because of this stupid shit with my brother. I’m 29 weeks and still worry every day that something will go wrong again and I’ll lose another baby. And all I want is to be able to talk to my mom. But our relationship is not the same right now and who knows if it ever will be. I’m just so tired of feeling so terribly alone.
