[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of people where this hits a nerve. OP's kids didn't ask "why are you fat/ugly?" A child asked what is your job? OP saw her bro uncomfortable and shut it down after less than 2 minutes. It should have ended there. They are projecting and scapegoating at this point. If OP's brother is traumatized by such innocuous questions and the typical behavior of a 7 year old, then he needs therapy to learn coping skills. If he thinks a grown up sibling should be cleaning his dirty undies for him, he needs help.

If the parents are getting him help, great! If they don't want to tell OP, that is fine. OP does not owe him an apology nor do her kids. This is a great situation for him to take to his therapist. Figure out why he is so traumatized he needs to upset his parents and drag his sister and her kid into it. He needs to problem solve how he could have handled it differently. This is not Ops problem. If they keep making it her problem and don't disclose any disability, I would distance. [/quote]

You know OP stood there listening with a smug look on her face. This family is broken and OP should just own up to her part in it. Putting a child to the task of doing her dirty work to call her brother out is low.[/quote]

This is a crazy response. [/quote]

Op has made her feelings perfectly clear. Her son didn’t come up with this in his own, come on now.[/quote]
