Well, i've known my stepbrother ever sense i was a baby...He had a daughter three years ago. She is so cute. I love her to death. But something went on and i guess we started feuding..I love her with all my heart. I haven't seen her in 6 months..I have done nothing to my brother. He doesn't like my mom ( which is his mom!)...His wife is very controlling and is very convincing ( I never liked her)... Do u think it is fair if my niece is not able to see her aunts and uncle????!!?

no it's not fair at all.
just because the bitchy wife controls your brother..
talk 2 your brother and tell him you want to see the baby..
i was in that situation with my niece.. where my brother's ***** wife at the time controlled him as well. Thank God he's getting a divorce from the whore! we will throw a party the day the damn divorce is finally over.
my brother has partial custody of his daughter now so we can see her every other weekend.
good luck.

You do not give nearly enough information. My in laws call me controlling, and my husband and I always make decisions together. You are giving your side of the situation only. Have you tried looking at it from the other side? You say that "something went on", try reaching out to your brother and his wife, politely. Your niece is their daughter and most people try to do what is best for their children. Even babies sense when there are strong emotions around and will react to the them, usually badly. Life is not fair most of the time and we can not choose our families, if you truly love your niece, do what is best for her emotionally, don't cause more problems.
edited to add: I tryed to email you back and was unable to. All I tried to say here was that you need to stay calm and not bring MORE problems to the table. Treat your brother and his wife as you would wanted to be treated. Wishing you much luck. Try not to take things so personally, who am I to you?

Not fair at all, but there is nothing you can do about it. Parents must make decisions for there kids, seems that your stepbrother is making a bad one. Children need all the loving family members around them as much as possible. Sounds like they are keeping her from you for personal reasons, THAT SUCKS!

No it is not fair, but it is life.
My mom and my sister had a falling out over her husband. She didn't speak to the fanily for years. I finally was able to get a hold of her through our other grandma. She already had three kids when I finally talked to her (she only had one before) I missed out on the births of a niece and nephew and all of their lives for about four years.
Things can change, but it has to come from him.

Well of course its not fair. But what can you do? They are her parents and they have a say over who she can and cant see. Maybe you should put your feud aside with your stepbrother, and ask him if you can see her. It can't hurt to ask!

Is he your half brother or step brother because you said that you have the same mom? Not that it matters- I was just curious.
My daughter has never seen her daddy's sister (they aren't blood related- both adopted) She's a trouble maker and I don't want my daughter around her.

No it's not fair and I haven't seen my nephew for 3 years and it kills me, BUT we are not their parents and that's the bottom line. SOrry, I really know what u r going through.

Well not really fair, but life isnt fair unfortunately. Its his kid, and you dont really have any real rights to her. This is sad i know, but true.
