Dear Prudence,
My brother-in-law got very drunk on New Year’s Eve and said some very rude, offensive things to me, finishing with, “And I could go even deeper with this.” I understand he was drunk, but to me that just means he said what he really thinks without his filters. I always thought we had a good relationship, but I’m really at a loss here. I understand he’s family, but I don’t trust him now, knowing the awful things he said. How do I approach this? He hasn’t said a single word about this, even though he remembers what happened.
