My ex-husband has been exchanging e-mails with my brother about me and our situation. We have a 14 year old daughter whom he has custody of. My brother lives close to my daughter and ex-husband. I live in another state.
I just called my brother and asked what the e-mails contained. He said that its between the two of us. He had told my cousin some of the information in the e-mails.
I said that I am sorry to have involved you and hung up quickly. He then said that I am probably bipolar and need to see a psychiatrist. He is and takes meds for it.
I got upset because my ex-husband says the same thing to me. (calls me a mental case)
My brother is 6 years younger than me and we have not been close in the last few years. He was trying to keep in touch with my daughter (his niece) and therefore exchanging e-mails with my ex. Now there are more problems...
I feel sad because of his comments....

Your only concern should be that of your daughters welfare. What people say to you or about you, to your face, or behind your back is not important.
You should know better than anyone else who you are. Do not allow anyone else to dictate who you are! PPPPLLLLEEAASSE!
The accusations that were thrown out there are just that, IF, you feel there is some basis for them, and only you would know that. Then go see a counselor, and tell them your concerns. If not, then shrug it off. Take a hard look at yourself, if you are good with who you are. Then, so be it. Good luck, don't sweat the little stuff. Don't worry about tomorrow, it will take care of itself....

I'm sorry about your situation. You seem to be taking what other people say to heart, instead of avoiding all the drama.
Your husband probably calls you a mental case, because he has bad feelings over your marriage or divorce... some people just can't let things go, so they are mean and hateful.
It's NOT your fault.
If your brother is trying to keep in touch with your daughter, why can't he CONTACT HER HIMSELF? I am sure your daughter knows how to read her own emails, and can talk on the phone. She's 14, and your ex husband doesn't need to be the go-between.
Perhaps your brother and your ex husband have become friends, and your brother is embarrassed to tell you, or doesn't want to "hurt your feelings" because of it? Hell, for all we know, they are gay!!!
Darlin, i know you are feeling sad, but why not just put your chin UP and take care of YOUR OWN LIFE. You have nothing to be ashamed of here, and please try not to let other people (who are obviously stupid) run your emotions....
hugz!

I dont know if you are bi polar or not but if a couple people say you could be it cant hurt to talk to a doctor. If they are wrong ask the dr to give you something saying you arent. then show it to them.

he sounds like a beaut, don't feel bad, 'take it from whence it comes' see if you can talk to his counselor, how is your daughter doing? that should be your only concern.

Ask him how long he's been off the meds.
