[quote=Anonymous]My quick takes:
Sounds like BIL was using Facebook to hide behind. Also, the fact that he didn't want your DH to find out what he said means that he is not serious about it, or that he doesn't understand consequences--the consequences being that his words to you will indeed get back to his brother.

It also seems that BIL (and perhaps SIL and MIL too, but I'm focusing on BIL since he's the instigator) knows that your DH will support you over BIL, which is why he didn't want DH to know about what he said.

I don't have advice on how to handle the situation, but I hope that you and DH would make it very clear to his very petty family members that if they cut you off, then they have also cut off him and the baby.

And also, even if you guys are able to make up, this is still going to have a serious impact on your interactions with them and how much time they get to spend alone with your baby (which I would hope is 0 for the next several years).

Oh, and congratulations to your DH for passing BIL's test... I don't think BIL meant for it to be a test, but your DH is (rightly) more loyal to you than to his brother.[/quote]
