Sorry for the questions, but a clearer picture might help.
My brother (the "drunk uncle") drinks at events.
I can tell you're really angry with your brother. From posts back before they adopted the kids.

My brother just ahd a new baby and his psycho wife wont let us visit the new baby.. so im pretty irritated with them too...

I did contact my brother and he and I have now started talking again which makes me feel a lot better, I feel I dont even need to meet the new baby now as we have had cleared a lot up in the conversations. My brother never realised that by excluding us from his life for so long meant that he
In this situation, I'd suggest you take a little time to consider what your actual feelings are and what the ramifications of acting on those feelings will cost you and then do whatever feels right to you.
Personally, I'm always a bit weirded out by such an open adoption.
I will admit that my circumstances in my family are extreme, and very few people can relate.
Not sure how to take your reference to "snippets".
