My DS (same mother different father than me) and her DH have been married for 46 years. About two years ago she found out she had a brother and they are now in contact with each other. I’m very happy for her, however, her DH isn’t and whenever she meets up with her brother for coffee and a chat, he gives her the cold shoulder and makes snide comments which upset her. He knows he upsets her but can’t stop himself and says he doesn’t know why he does it. They have discussed it in depth and he’s even met the brother but other than that, wants nothing to do with him. My BiL, since retiring, does everything for my DS and dotes on her and they have a wonderful marriage until it comes to her half brother. He just won’t accept him and it’s causing lots grief for my DS. It upsets me to see my DS so upset. She’s always felt she didn’t belong anywhere because she looked so different from the rest of her family. Now she has a brother who looks like her and it’s made a big difference in her life. Her DH just can’t see that though. Should my DS stop seeing her half brother just to please her DH? I just don’t know how I can help my DS and talking it over with her DH is out of the question.
