This year has taken a turn I never thought it would. I’m starting to feel like I’ll never see my brothers again. Almost 10 years ago our dad got full custody of them but now that one is 18 years old and the other is just 3 years shy of 18, he figured a change in scenery would be good for them. Their mom wants to make up for lost time with them and he’s got no problem with that. Her on the other hand, is the same manipulative person she was 10 years ago. The boys don’t know any better but the things she’s asking them to do behind our backs makes my heart ache. By now we should all be able to be cordial and do what’s best for the boys. I pray that 2023 wasn’t the last time I would’ve seen them.
