[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess I am not sure why I posted what I did. Maybe I wanted an outside opinion since everyone in my family is already aware of what is going and we all agree. It is very hard however to explain this all situation in writing. 
It is an impossible situation because we do not want them to get divorced, but we at the same time do not want my brother to be miserable. My mom or dad have suggested to my brother to go to couple counseling and that she should see a therapist, but I don’t think they want to do that. I am not even 100% sure whether she is also unhappy with their marriage. I would love to hang out with my brother alone and talk about it all, but I am sure it will be impossible. He does not want to admit it, but while she encourages in words his relationship with me (and my parents), is practice she is manipulating him. She tells him he can get back on his family chat, but then when he tells her he wants to, she gets anxiety, cries and does not sleep for 2 nights so, of course, my brother is not back on the chat...

See... I want to think that she is having a very hard time, that maybe did not want the pregnancy (they are mid 30s, but I think she wanted to wait a little more) and she will calm down And eventually become more normal. 
But then when I think about Her actions I am afraid that she is either has mental issues or she is really a malicious and manipulative person. When she says “sure, you should go back on your family chat” and then goes crazy; when she decides to do the baptism 2 weeks after we left so that we could not attend; when she makes sure I cannot see the baby unless she is there; when she is upset at me about not reaching out to her directly (as opposed to my brother) when their daughter was at the hospital even after I showed her my brother’s message asking to not contact her because she was too stressed out... all of those things together give me a different picture. I hope I am wrong and that my brother did not make the biggest mistake of his life

Maybe he did, but he has to figure that out on his own.  There is literally nothing you can do but be supportive of your brother and give them space.[/quote]
