[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP that asked for an update and I'm glad you did.  This is going to be one of those threads that I'll be thinking of in the months to come and I hope you don't mind continuing to post.  What a shitty thing for your brother and his wife to do.  You and your DH are so very kind to be stepping into the void.  As a PP noted, this abandonment will have repercussions for a long time - and not just for your niece but also for her siblings.  We've always told our kids that we love them no matter what.  It's hard for me to believe that other parents don't feel the same way.  I'd be angry and upset if my kid were pregnant like this (or got a girl pregnant) but I'd never kick them out.

This may sound odd but given the extreme reaction of your brother, is there any chance he could be the father?  I know, I know, it's out there but so is his reaction.  If he's capable of kicking his DD out like that, well, I can imagine other things he's capable of.  Perhaps this is part of your niece's trauma.  Is she still seeing the counselor?[/quote]
