Maybe not the right sub but I trust y’all more than most other subs.

They have a kid together. I don’t want to put too many details. I will say the child was under 15 years old… and he’s almost 30. I’m just wondering… my sister is acting petty and angry for the most part but I’m worried this situation would go deeper than that emotionally (I know very well this would hurt me more deeply than I’ve ever been hurt) and she wouldn’t show it or recognize it for a long time

Hopefully I’m wrong abt that but in the case that I’m not.

How can I be supportive of someone who is going through this?

This seems life changing, especially to their child, and I don’t want to amplify her emotions or make things worse.

I’m also angry beyond measure, at him, and at the women in his life who have belittled my sister and defended him.

Have you ever been through something similar? How did you lack support during this? What can I do to make sure I am a good support system during this? How can I support my nephew in the future regarding this?

I will be speaking to a therapist abt all of this. This is sort of an off my chest type post too. Just please let me know your thoughts and experiences.
