[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be loyal to your sibling.  Their in laws are not any of your business.

This is not a blind rule.[/quote]

Your sibling is your sibling.  If their own family can't be loyal to them no one else in the world will be.

I'm not saying don't be polite and civil to the former sister in law.  I'm saying your primary responsibility is to your sibling. Her family is her family.  His is his.
Who will he turn to if his family abandons him?  No one.  It's dooming him to a crappy rest of his life to take his wife's side.  No matter what.  [/quote]
You do you. I don’t condone alcoholics, drug addicts and adulterers simply because they are family.[/quote]

My parents enabled all kinds of bad behavior on the part of my brother.  They treated him like he could do no wrong and made him a selfish brat who abandoned his own children and left their home to cavort with prostitutes in a different state. Got in trouble with the law in more than one jurisdiction and in more than one country. He ended up remarrying rather quickly, in a 90 day fiancee type of arrangement with someone from a developing country he "met" on social media.   It's not clear how long that will last once she gets her green card and her bearings in the USA.  Much more could be said about his poor choices but it would be too revelatory.  I don't blame his ex for wanting out, and I feel sorry for his children.  My mother will always take his side against anyone in any argument, so for now he has one surefire enabler. [/quote]
