[quote=Anonymous]OP this is a little messy and your husband was careless, but you’re also overwrought.

Something really bad is happening. Your mom has cancer. Things around that will also go wrong and eggs will be broken. You’ve got to roll with it a bit.

I would just

1) explain to your DH that you think he was wrong to tell his mom and to not share any personal details about your parents going forward.

2) Shoot a text (cc DH) to your MIL saying you haven’t told the kids yet and asking her to keep the whole thing confidential.

3) When you tell your kids, I doubt they’re going to recall or care about the phone convo. But if they bring it up just say “we didn’t have the test results yet” or something.

None of the above is your fault and it all kind of sucks, but it’s definitely just part of this larger shitty thing that you’re going through and not a big deal. You’re focused on seeking justice for yourself and punishing your DH because you want someone to acknowledge how you’re going through this horrible thing and it’s not your fault and it sucks for you. But it would be better to just go directly for that and not try to hinge the support you need on making your DH confess his wrongness in telling his mother or whatever it is you want him to do about it.
