I technically have a “biological brother”. I call him that because DNA is the ONLY similarity we have. He’s a real piece of sh!t that has some major problems, addictions, etc…. He removed himself from our family back in 2015 when my parents finally stopped enabling him and cut off his funds. He told me before he cut us off, “when our parents die, don’t even bother contacting him”. So when Pop died, in 2020, I honored his wishes. Didn’t even list him in the obituary as a survivor. He’s moved all over the country and ended up in Deep South Florida. He doesn’t know I know where he lives but by coincidence, a kid we grew up with is a LEO about 40 miles from there and says “the sibling” has quite the reputation, and that it’s just a matter of time before he crosses the wrong person down there. Thursday was mom’s 81st birthday and Friday would have been hers and pop’s 62nd wedding anniversary. We got a box delivered on Friday by FedEx but I didn’t bother even getting it in because the wife is always ordering something and I just leave them for her. One of the boys got it in the other night and yesterday morning the wife asked me about it. I told her I didn’t know what it was, that I figured she had ordered it. She looks at the box and says it’s from 1-800- flowers, addressed to mom. I opened the box and it was a bouquet of flowers and had a card there. I pulled the card out and read it. It was the absolute most hateful, mean spirited, evil card he could have written. Pure evil and just full of ramblings. Of course he didn’t sign his name but we obviously know it was from him. I called the flower place to verify who/where it was from but they said they wouldn’t give out that info. He’s crazy I tell you. Pure crazy. I talked to my aunt later that day, who made some phone calls for me and apparently he’s been trying to find out about mom and her health. I figure because he’s waiting on her to die to sue the estate. For a guy that never wants to be contacted again, he goes about it awful funny. He sure has an old woman pretty shook up. Is it possible to have him receive some kind of official notice to never contact is again? Kind of like a restraining order, or does a restraining order cover contacting is by mail/phone too? How difficult is it to receive one when we can’t prove it was him, and him living in a different state?
