So my niece and nephew are not my brothers and his wife kids. My sister in laws sister and her husband “lost” the kids a decade ago. My sister in law is their legal guardian and adopted them and raised them as her own. I only know because my sister in law drunk told me a few years ago. I haven’t and don’t tell people because it’s not my story to tell. “Only the kids and my wife and I know that’s why we have been raising them as our own” she said. I feel bad for the kids and for my brother. I haven’t told my parents and siblings and I don’t think I would have told anyone but my wife. She lost her “last chance” baby on Thanksgiving. and she needed to talk to someone. I told her and said “we can’t tell anyone” and she said of course. <br><br>This year we all went to my parents for thanksgiving my sister in law and brother came a little after and I saw their “kids” and thought of my wife’s baby. She came down a little until she saw my brothers kids and lost it. Then she went on a full meltdown and told my parents and siblings that my brothers kids are not his. <br><br>My brother is livid. He has a week vacation and the kids “heard” what my wife said. My sister in law is just crying. I tried to tell my brother that I told my wife and she promised not to tell anyone and she was talking about her baby anyway. He said it didn’t matter and I should never have told my wife.
