So, since you folks are the only people I talk to other than my husband...

17. He recently 'lost' his sister to a church.

She now wants to act embarrassed if he calls and she is with one or more of her brood. They also loaned us some money recently when the car broke down. They (she and her husband) told us that it was fine and that there was no hurry to pay them back. (She married into money anyway. They could afford it.) Suddenly they were both giving him grief about repaying it. We managed to repay them and now they seem to not want to talk to him. She called on Thanksgiving, but he did not take the call. She is the only immediate family he has left. They had lost touch when he was a teen and he had been so pleased that they had reconnected and were building a new relationship. Now they are acting like assholes.

I can't fix this either. I can't do anything for myself or anyone else. He needs me (not as much as I need him, but he does) and I am failing him again.
