I m afraid of my brother s anger

The only link I still have with my "family" is a property that hasnt been sold.

In short, they are very toxic people, it was a long councelling road, and I m eager to end this link after so many years.

I just confirmed we are probably about to sell the property. This means, no more siblings nor mother, ever again. I haven t seen them in ten years and more.

Signing papers means I will HAVE TO see one of my brothers, who is full of anger, resentment and maybe even hate towards me. I m terrified!

It is a last moment to reach a great emotional release ( which makes me very excited!). At last!!!

But, I m afraid of my brother s anger, who s still looking to get some extra money through other people who, he sais, got the buyer or helped here and there... he has also stolen us. So, if I complain or refuse to pay the extra he "expects" ( which I won t pay), I m sure things may get to the limit.

I know I m an adult, and he won t hit me or something...my fear is more on the waterfall of insults and resentment comments I will receive.

I just dont want to be part of their "toxic-circle", and he has all this big need to throw his bad feelings towards me. I dont want to receive all his shit.

My question is, how do I deal with my brother if he is this way towards me, during negotiation, in the part we have the lawyers and the part we are almost alone?

We don t talk on the phone nor e mail each other for the negotiation,( it s all through a relative), because he doesnt allow me to adress him directly.

Just so you know, I didnt do anything in particular to be "hated", but I did go councelling which made me look for a healthy life away from them, leaving my always resented mother and siblings behind. I also might have said some things that hurt her.

thanks
