My sister is pregnant in her second trimester and were planning on going abroad to visit family during the summer once baby is here. The idea seems lovely because this is a trip me, her and all our siblings have taken every year since we were born, but something happened thats left an EXTREMELY sour taste in my mouth.
My mother broke down recently while drunk and told me about some abusive events that happened between her and her older brother when she was little, said brother has some serious health complications now due to a lifetime of smoking and drinking excessively and so he lives with my grandmother, at the house we usually stay at for holidays. Now this isnt normal sibling fighting i was told about, its THAT type of abuse everyone is terrified of happening to the kids in their life.
i tried to tell my mum to tell my sister because shes going to have an infant with her when we next visit but shes adament she doesnt want to tell anyone and im the only person whos ever known, just because she was drunk.
Im like incredibly stressed out about this because im so scared of something happening to this baby but i dont want to betray my mums trust and i really would appreciate some advice. I really wish she would talk to someone else about this because honestly im only 19 and i dont know how youre supposed to deal with this type of situation.
