Obviously, her brother was not happy about being disinvited. However, she claimed to be shocked by this since she thought her brother was “basically forced” to attend the family events.
Still, she got a healthy dose of reality after her parents found out about the rescinded invite and totally went off on her. In fact, her parents called her behavior utterly disgraceful, claimed that she was unsupportive, and believed that she was totally apathetic to what her brother is going through right now.
She did try to explain her reasoning and how she and her husband figured this would be the best option. Regardless, though, her parents still strongly disagreed.
Instead, they feel like by disinviting her brother, she took away his sense of comfort and support. On top of that, they accused her of being totally selfish and completely disregarding her brother’s loss.
So now, she is pretty much stuck in the middle of her parents and husband. On the one hand, her husband believes that her parents are not taking into consideration how uncomfortable her brother’s sobs make guests feel.
And on the other hand, she has been framed as basically a self-absorbed sister who is ignorant of her brother’s emotional well-being.
In turn, she has no idea what to do. Her parents have since demanded that she apologize to her brother. Still, though, she is not sure if disinviting her brother for the sake of the event was truly a jerky thing to do or not.
Do you think she should care less about the awkwardness of the events or not? Should her brother’s feelings come first? What would you do in her shoes?
