[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t relay any messages. There is too much risk that it can be seen as you taking sides or gossiping. If what your SIL says is true, your younger brother might feel defensive and more focused on how he heard about it etc, than the actual issue. If the SIL actually looming for help/backup, I would have encouraged her to come up with an approach to speak up for herself. If she feels taken for granted what are actions she can take to change the situation? I’m sure if she came to DCUM asking for advice, she would get plenty, and none would say “talk to your SIL to talk to her older brother to talk to your husband about behavior”. It would be either counseling if at that level or good faith efforts to communicate directly to understand the other person's perspective, talk about your own, and work out some middle ground.[/quote]
