oh crap crap

My brother and his wonderful girlfriend broke up :(

It sounds like the right thing to do, but it's killing them both. I think it's bringing up a lot of stuff for him he never quite dealt with, if it's ever possible to deal with those sort of things. Buried issues.

I'm sad. For them. And for me - I love her, and I thought the chances of me getting to be an aunt had increased (though I was also a bit worried about it).

Ach. I'm sorry for them, getting to the shit awful hearbreak bit. I never had the courage... though I guess I can't deny I went through something awful though, for a long time. But all the moving out and trying to rebuild  your life... it's a necessary evil,  I know, better than staying out of fear and being miserable and resentful.

I wish they could sleep through all the misery and wake up ok on the other side.

Just remind yourself its bollocks to do with you... The helplessness will help

I like what John said. I agree. But it's hard to do.

That's horrible. Especially if she's wonderful.

What an odd comment. I'm sad to lose someone I thought would be my sister in law, I'm concerned for my brother's emotional well being, but it's nothing to do with me? It impacts on my life, it's a loss for me too, and many of us feel our family's hurts as our own. And it's my hurt too, albeit on a very different scale.
