    Yes, we've got some friends who will make sure he behaves.  The problem is if he brings along his on-off girlfriend who is also as nasty as he is.  It might all kick off then, sadly.

    It'll be fine - you carry on and am sure that others will sort the unpleasant pair out. Pesky Brother will be looking for a response - if ignored then he won't get what he wants

    Good advice.  I just hope my (sometimes) hot-headed husband (and me, for that matter!) can bite our tongues.  Eldest sibling DEFINITELY loves and looks for drama.

    Ok, talk it through together. So you all (the executors and their partners and any kids) are singing from the same hymn sheet. If you all accept that if he kicks off, no-one responds, then you'll cope much better.

    The issue is often that partners or other family try to protect the person getting abuse and that escalates the situation.
