Family Problems

ok this will probably be kind of long, but please read it, I just don't know what to do. I'm not really sure where to start but I'll try. I have two brothers, wayne & jason, and they married two sisters, beth & carol. (strange, I know, but that's life) well Wayne & beth are getting a divorce (oh & also, we all live almost side by side) & carol, being the aggervating sister trying to start stuff has gotten into also (she called the cops on Wayne) well, jason has gone along with the whole thing and gotten into it also, like he's against my brother, and is on beth's side. So naturally, I've stuck up for wayne. Well today Carol called me over to her house to get a shirt I'd left over there and reluctantly I did. Well, she started talking about all this stuff, either way, we got into it big time, and midway, jason walked in and just sat down on the couch and watched. well, she said something about my mom, and I took a step forward and pointed my finger at her and told her she better never talk about my mom like that again. Well, she grabbed my wrist, really tight, and yanked it down. Now I weigh probably 105, and she's almost 200, so you can see the disadvantage I had there. But what got me was how my brother just sat there, he didn't do anything to stop. She finally let go when I threatened the cops on her. And I eventually got out of there. Well my mom was at work and my dad doesn't live here so I was by myself. I called my mom and just cried for half an hour, not because carol hurt me, but because my own brother didn't do anything to help me. This all just happened, and I just don't know what to do. I don't want to lose my brother. I love him to death, but I'm mad at him.

Should I just forgive him, or should I just leave them alone and lose a part of my family?

Sorry for how long this is, thank you for taking the time out to read it. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I know I would be so upset to. I don't think you should stop talking to him, or forgive him. If I were you I would talk to him. (Hopefully he is a talker) And tell him how you feel. If he doesn't care, then it is his loss. One day he will realize what he did wrong, and ask for forgiveness.

yeah, I'm thinking about talking to him. I'm still pretty mad at him & I know if Carol is there, me and her would end up getting into it again. I'll never be able to forgive her, which I'm fine with that. But I definitely don't want to lose my brother.

wow..... that is complicating. hmmmm... well you must be hurt so bad. and its a hard spot to be in. i have delt with family problems for as long as i can remember. its really hard and i lost about half or more of my family because they have "disowned" me because they didn't like my mom. and its even harder when divorce is involved.

its alot to talk about and i know its probably really personal for you so anytime you wanna talk just e mail me k
