I'm really upset with my brother after his behaviour last night - bit of background - he got married v young and left his wife after having an affair. They then got back together a year ago.
They've been visiting my mums for xmas me and dd went over to stay for a few nights as we don't get to see them very often as they live quite a way away.
Last night my brother lost his rag with my mum over something small, shouted abuse at his wife and walked out on the middle of the night - didn't have shoes/money/coat etc and didn't come back for a few hours - his wife worried that he's crashed the car and my mum feeling v guilty. Came back and not a word said about it this morning. Everyone is pretending nothing has happened. Its like the prodigal son has returned.
I think he's apologised to his wife and my mum - but he hasn't said a word to me.
I have partly unresolved isshoos with my dad - but I feel really upset that my brother has behaved in exactly the same way as him - and no one has said anything about it - just pretending nothing has happened.
I don't know what to do - I can't bring myself to talk to him as I just can't pretend that his behaviour is acceptable. I just feel really tearful and can't bear to be in the same room as him.
No real answer to this just needed to get it off my chest.
