I hated her from day one.  My brother has come around on that.  Pretty sure he is sticking around with her until the kids are of age to only have to pay alimony to that non working jersey [BLEEP]. But I usually talk to my bro 3 times a year on the phone.  Christmas, maybe thanksgiving and on either one of our birthdays that fall 6 days apart.  Funny thing is, this year I sent a text wishing him and the girls(even that [BLEEP] wife of his) a merry Christmas.  Never got a return text; never got a phone call never got a “hey thanks for the money and sorry my wife bought you a gift to take straight to the “goodwill drop off” 


I say I’m done (again). But I’m sure I’ll do it again next year.  I’m an [BLEEP], but family and my In people I have a soft spot for. Whatever, I guess

Feel free to send that gift card my way when the spirit of Christmas bites you in the [BLEEP]. Or anytime.
