The all-out war is distressing our friend group.
Given the level of animus and the way it has escalated, I don’t believe it is within your power to direct these warring parties to change, but you might be able to influence them to at least consider the larger consequences of this discord, and the impact on their friendships.Without taking sides or relitigating this conflict, you could speak from your heart regarding the impact this has had on your friendship.
As the months went by, I felt a longing to meet her. She was already following us on social media, so it seems that she might have already been aware of the relationship before I connected the DNA dots.Against my brother’s wishes, I reached out to her, and my son and I met her for dinner. She seems to be a lovely young woman and we mutually want to pursue a family relationship.
Needless to say, my brother was disappointed that I did not respect his wishes and specifically requested that I not tell our mother. You’ve asked him about connecting your niece with her grandmother, and he has said no. I suggest that you do so, anyway.
