Ex DH grew up with 2 other siblings in a quiet tough, dysfunctional environment and as adults he maintained some contact with one of them (sibling A) but fell out with the other one (sibling B) in his 20s. Both parents now deceased.
About 10 years ago sibling A told Ex that sibling B had been in a car accident and had died. Ex was obviously very upset but hadn't spoke to sibling B since their falling out, now 15+ years previously, and because of this and because he was living 8 hours drive away, didn't attend the memorial service but sent a substantial sum of money to cover funeral costs.
Fast forward to today and Ex, now 50, supports sibling A financially who is unable to work. Sibling A recently told me that sibling B is alive and well and did not die in a car accident. Sibling A didn't explain about the lie of the accident - either Sibling B wanted to cut ties and start fresh or Sibling A wanted the 'funeral money. ' Or other reasons I can't ascertain.
Yup, it all feels like something from a soap opera!!
Should I tell Ex? Since it's not my family and not my issue, I'm inclined not to say anything to Ex but I hate that he is financially supporting someone who is lying to him. And I hate knowing and saying nothing...
WWYD?
