“I left my wife secretly and slowly. AITA?”
ALL IN ALL!
The author’s brother confessed to her that they are not real siblings and that they were drunkenly in love. The author called her brother to discuss the matter with their parents, who were surprised to learn that both brothers were adopted. The author had a long conversation about the truth, which was a personal family matter, but it was a fulfilling one. The author cried because they knew they were still family, regardless of blood-relatedness. They feel lucky to have grown up with loving, caring parents and brother.
The author shares a personal experience with her brother, who found out about their different parents when he was in elementary school. They discussed the news and how they grew up, but he never told her about it. The author feels better about their situation now, and they are grateful for the family they have.
The author’s brother was drunk at a bar and acted strangely, playing with her hair and saying, “You have pretty hair.” She thought this was just his behavior when drunk, so she decided to make fun of him about it. When they got into his apartment, he revealed that he had something to tell her and that there was a reason why he and his girlfriend broke up. The author told him she knew already (that he was gay), and he blurted out that he was in love with her.
The author is now confused and scared about facing her brother. She is trying to rationalize this, and she thinks maybe he wasn’t thinking clearly since he was drunk. They have a close and good relationship, but it’s not grossly incestuous. The author remembers when they lived together at home, where he would kick her off the bed and tell her to get out. He has always acted repulsed by her and made fun of her all the time, like a typical brother would. He has never made her feel uncomfortable or tried to make a move on her.
In conclusion, the author’s brother and her family are part of a loving and caring family, even though they are not biologically related. They are grateful for the support and understanding they receive from their family.
