You won’t believe my brother’s reaction after nephew was bitten by a dog
Dear Abby: My 8-year-old nephew accidentally fell on my dog, who then reacted and snapped at him, leaving a small puncture mark on his arm. We immediately removed the dog and apologized to my nephew, who was riddled with guilt because he knew he caused it. Because it was an accident, I told my nephew it was OK.
Weeks later, my sister and I realized that my brother hasn’t responded to any of our daily text messages or Facebook posts. When we see him in person, he is fine. He jokes with us and even plans to rent a storage unit with us for our grandparents’ stuff. But then he ignores our text messages.
We told our mother he has been ignoring us for quite some time. He admitted to her that he’s super annoyed with the whole family for not training our dog not to react when he gets hit. I now feel my brother’s purposefully bad behavior is worse than the accident. What do you think?
