It Still Bothers Me!

Song-Writer and others:
I am dealing with a situation in the family that is very destressing also.
I hope to let it go. I am trying to.
I recently had surgery for breast cancer. My children don't live in the same town that I do.
I have a brother here.
My brother seemed to become unbalanced someway that I was going to undergo surgery. I can't figure it out. I don't know but he seemed to feel that he was going to wind up being responcible for me. He does seem to have some kind of severe mental problem.
Anyway, the surgery is now 12 days behind me.
My son came up for the surgery. But he had to go home.
I haveen't asked for anything. Nothing at all.
I've been here by myself all this time.
But every day I will get at least one weird email from my brother. His emails are contentious. He seems to be trying to assure me that he can't do anything for me.
It causes me much stress. It causes me anger, and resentment. I have done nothing to cause this.
I am trying to get well.

Songwriter, it happens in nearly all the families that I know. I absolutely don't know why.
This brother has verbally attacked me on several instances. He feels neglected and put upon.
I can't cope with him so I plan to move away.
But I can't move until I am stronger and until my lease is up here.
Tonight was no exception. I got one of his weird emails. He should have had a good day.
He went to church where he sees memebers of his family.

He is retired and so far as I've been able to
ascertain, he has everything he needs or ever will need.
I so glad that all of you wrote about this.
Because I'd just gotten that last weird email from him and I was so nervous and , yes, a little scared. I dp not to try to answer him.
I know I have to let it go.
I'm sorry you all have to suffer from this kind of thing - but I have to tell you that it helps me a lot right now, knowing I'm not alone with these horrible feelings.
I'm just getting over surgery for cancer of breast and all I long for is just some peace.
My son is going to help me move later on. I'll be nearer my son. But right now I just have to deal with this situation here
and all your words have helped so much.
Thank you all for sharing.
