Unfortunately, her sister-in-law discovered that she’d sent this text to her brother, also realizing that she’d heard what she told her mother about her.
So, her sister-in-law scolded her mother for letting her know what she’d been saying. She acknowledged that it made sense for her sister-in-law to be angry because she’d assumed that the conversation was going to stay between her and her mother.
On the other hand, since she’s her mother’s daughter, she is the priority, and she and her mother are very close, so her mother was obviously going to let her know what her sister-in-law said about her.
Eventually, after trying for six months to persuade her brother to talk with her in person, he finally agreed.
During their discussion, her brother told her he was sorry, and it felt like he could see where she was coming from.
Also, she got the impression that he was on the same page about wanting to repair their relationship.
She let her brother know that all she was hoping for was for him to say sorry because her pregnancy hadn’t been easy, and she didn’t have much support from any of their family since she wasn’t married yet to her boyfriend when she got pregnant.
Throughout her pregnancy, she experienced a lot of loneliness because her family members shunned her due to their religious beliefs.
In response, her brother assured her that their relationship would improve going forward, and he added that he and his wife were now trying to have a baby.
Prior to this, her brother had been insistent that he wanted to wait a couple of years before he was ready to start trying for a baby.
From her perspective, her sister-in-law isn’t in a great place mentally. Her brother’s wife drinks alcohol a lot and has gone through a lot of difficult times over the last few years.
