Trollheart I can't believe how incredibly tenacious you are. I couldn't imagine how difficult it must be for you and your sister. I'm not sure how you feel about God but I'm telling you now that you will be rewarded for your acts and your sister will too for being so strong. I really do hope your brothers mend their ways because there is no excuse for that kind of behaviour when it comes to family. They obviously haven't heard of unconditional love and you have every right to be upset with them. I hope it works out for you though.
