Most can't handle honesty they can't face or deal with it in others or in life. To bad grown people teach children to "save someone's feelings" how is it a small child can say it like it is and people who are suppose to be grown lie, how is it a child has no fear of speaking the truth but "adults" are horrified by it? Continue to be honest don't change that quality to please them.

Be honest. Don't listen to the people teliing you to shut up. These are the people that would rather be in denial, avoid responsibility, and be validated in their BS. THAT sort of thing is what destroys the family, not the honesty

OP: my sister in law is the one who turned it into a nasty situation. Then again, she's always negative and nasty. My poor brother. Because of her, he's being pulled away from the 3 sisters he has left. We also lost our oldest sister 3 years ago, just months before our mother

^It sounds like you don't like your sil's "negativity" which means you would prefer her to be dishonest. Sometimes the truth is negative and your need for things to be positive all the time doesn't really help anything. Your poor brother indeed. It sounds as though he has a lot of women in his life who demand his attention. Perhaps instead of ragging on his chosen wife, you could face some of the honesty even if it is negative?

OP...your brother has all the balls in the family...he needs to use them and tell his big mouth old lady to shut up.She's an outsider butting in, d-bag !

^my brother is definitely NOT a d-bag. He's a loving man that tries to keep peace and be true to his marriage no matter what......he does not believe in divorce.2 up: I don't like my sil treating my brother like sh*t all the time. It's constant, but I would never touch that subject; that's between them. The honesty was how she has been treating his family for the last 20 years. With 3 family members deceased, I don't want to lose him too, so I said something.
