[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again. This is not a loyalty test.

It’s the kids’ issues to work out their own feelings about. It is not your job to be a party to that. You don’t need to own that.

I suspect that your feelings about your brother go beyond the situation and you don’t even like him anyway. [/quote]

I really hope you don't have nieces and nephews, and if you do, I feel sorry for them.  Same if you have kids.  Yuck.[/quote]
I absolutely love my nieces and nephews. If my brother cheated and they were mad at him, I would really feel for them and absolutely understand their feelings. But I wouldn’t disown my brother over it. 
If you cannot understand that a rift between husband/wife or parent/child should not be extended to others in the family, I cannot help you.
With family, it’s is best to not inject yourself into a strained relationship and make it worse than it already is.
This is not a loyalty test. You can feel bad for the kids and the awful situation, and still invite brother and girlfriend to an event that those kids won’t even be at. In fact, that might help the kids to start accepting the new girlfriend. They don’t have to love her or want to spend time with her, but at least recognize she is their dad’s GF. [/quote]
