I don't know if anyone remembers my posts or not, I doubt it, they were from close to a year ago...
Whether you remember or not, I have since stopped talking to my mother. At first, it was active, we would specifically avoid her, but that was annoying, so we just don't go out of our way to deal with her. I am still extremely close to my siblings.
My youngest sister found out recently that she is pregnant (so is my DW! For those who followed my old posts), and it was not planned. She is young, she'll need some help, but she'll be a great mom, no one is worried about that. She has plenty of support from W and I, and my brothers and their wives will absolutely step in when they can. My sister has been with her BF (the father of the child) for a few years, but honestly, I don't see this dude ever growing up. Don't get me wrong, he's a cool guy, but that's about it.
OK, he sucks. Everyone knows he sucks. My sister knows he sucks. He wears his hat sideways. I despise this kid. But he was never a problem, so I never felt the need to say anything. Well, my darling mother has basically convinced my sister that the only two options that would be good for baby are either to give baby to my parents, or marry loser BF. She does not want to do either of these, and shouldn't have to. She is a complete mess now and frankly, I'm afraid it will cause something bad to happen.
My sister will not stand up for herself, and she has never been one to question "authority." My question is, WWYD? Do I step in and say something to one/both of them?
