[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 611329, member: 84"] ((hugs)) I would have told her immediately. But that is just me. These things have a way of coming back to bite you in the backside when you try to keep them quiet, so it's best to say something at the time. Nichole had a somewhat similar incident with sister in law, kept it to herself against my advice, and it blew up months later in her face. It was all resolved and all is well now......but yeah. Odds are, you and husband are not the only one to have issues with brother in law especially when he is drinking. They likely just figure something happened and you've distanced yourself from him. As for anyone who hasn't.......well, it will be what it will be. Fred's brother didn't attend anything for our kids, none of his family did, due to the "issue" between them. We invited them to most big things until they moved out of state, but knew they would likely not show. This included Fred's memorial........which they eventually did not show up for. Sister in law was/is still very upset over that no show. husband could maybe sit his dad down and explain what happened, as well as explain why it was not blabbed to the whole family. It is a reasonable reason. I think his dad would likely understand. As for the wedding..........try not to stress. Weddings are happy occasions and should be enjoyed. It is a celebration for the couple, not really anyone else. If they're ok with brother in law not being invited.....well, that is all that matters. Hang in there, this too shall pass. [/QUOTE]
