Ok I have three older sisters. One of them is getting a divorce and another is siding with the soon to be ex husband. She's even helping him cheat on our sister with one of her friends. I am super p-ed off about this and want to confront my back stabbing sister. Do you think I should or should I just keep supporting my sister getting the divorce? What would you say to your sister if this was happening to your family?

You should tell your sister to butt out of your other sister's business. That's so not cool she needs to stay out of it and mind her own business. I would say something to her.

First of all you definitely need to continue supporting your sister that is going through the divorce. And if i was you i would say something to your other sister. Thats totally wrong of her to do that. She should be thinking about what her sister is going through. She has enough to worry about besides dealing with this. Good luck.

Thats an extreme case & makes one believe that Humans actually have gone crazy!! Anyways, I may never know the complete picture. I would advise that you first make out who exactly is at fault, listen to everyone and their side of story. If your sister( the one siding your Bro in law) is wrong, you should confront her and offcourse let her know that whatever she is doing is wrong. However, if your brother in law is alson adamant on getting seperated there is no choice left and you will have to proceed with it. Just make it out clearly, where this all started from and who is guilty for what and then only deliver your judegement.

First and foremost I would support the sister getting the divorce. Once her life is somewhat settled, I would definitely say something to the sister who is helping her brother-in-law cheat with one of her friends. If your sister, getting the divorce, doens't know about your other sister stepping in and fixing her friend up with your brother-in-law, am not so sure I would get that involved because sometimes these situations backfire and you might get caught right in the middle. Am sorry this is all happening in your family and wish you the best of luck.

Oh dear, what a terrible situation to be in. Of course it is difficult to know the full story and everybody will have their own opinions and accusations and it will all end up boiling down to whose side you are on. I am wondering whether your sister is aware that her sibling is aiding and abetting her soon-to-be ex-husband and whether this has anything to do with the divorce? At any rate, it would be unwise to confront her directly as whilst it would seem to be completely disloyal it is difficult to know the full dynamics of the situation and the strength of the sisterly bond between you all. I would continue to support your divorcing sister as best you can and since you are some distance away then the best you can do for her is to be a sound board. If you have to have contact with the other sister then make it clear that whilst you do not approve of her behaviour you will first and foremost be supporting your other sister through this difficult time and so your loyalties will lie foremost with her if things escalate. I guess the best thing to do would be to try and remain neutral and maintain any contact you had with all parties before things broke down to avoid adding family feuds to the mix.
