This happened to a family I know. They got married in the end, everyone accepted it; and the Christmas card list is interesting.
I Walked In on My MIL Kissing My Brother, and Accidentally Uncovered a Family Secret
Family secrets can destroy relationships, ignite several negative feelings and even cause illness. One woman was left in shock after she uncovered a deep secret kept between her mother-in-law and brother. Finding herself at a crossroads, she decided to tell us her dramatic story.




Thank you for opening up to us! We hope to be able to help you somehow, so we put together a few tips on how to deal with the situation.
Avoid involving other family members.
It's best to address the issue directly with your brother and mother-in-law instead of involving other family members for now, as their input might complicate matters further. Your sibling, especially, may feel resentful if they perceive others are aware of his relationship before he was ready to share it publicly.
Regarding your husband, ask your brother and mother-in-law to involve him in the matter as well by explaining that it puts you in a difficult situation with him.
Communicate openly.
Don't be afraid to reach out to your brother about your own doubts about his relationship. Holding back your thoughts and feelings now might hinder your ability to work through this issue. Additionally, being able to talk openly with your sibling might strengthen your relationship with them.
Consider a counselor.
With emotions running high, think about consulting a family therapist or counselor to help moderate the conversation between your brother, mother-in-law and even husband, if they choose to involve him. The therapist's neutral perspective can provide valuable insights and strategies for resolving this conflict at this critical time.
Understand the power of forgiveness.
Take a moment to think if forgiving your brother and mother-in-law could bring you comfort and closure. Remember, forgiving them doesn't mean you're okay with what they did. It's about letting go of the past and focusing on your own feelings.
Everyone has family issues, even celebrities. We found out Tom Cruise's last public outing with his daughter Suri was over 10 years ago, and we decided to do some digging in order to find out what caused the rift between them. Find out here the heartbreaking reason why the two aren't close.
