How Close Should Family Love Get?!

BY Darling Darby ("Ask Darby")

Dear Princess Darby,

My pregnant sister went to hospital because the baby is due in 1 week.

That week I stayed with my sister. The only people in the house is my brother in law and I (it's a huge house, so my sister thought that I should stay with them).

One day, when my brother in law got home, he said he had a headache and his back hurt.

So I said I could give him a massage. He said that'd be great. Then, during 'it', he suddenly turned around and 'things' happened.

I haven't told my sister yet, because I think if I told her, I don't know what she'll do.

The thing is, I'm pregnant.

Should I go somewhere, or tell my sister the truth?

Dear Lindsay,

Thank you for writing in confidence to me. I know that this is an awful time for you. I know you wanted guidance, unfortunately, what you did was unbelievable!

The burden of the responsibility is in this triangle of betrayal of trust and lust. The results are you will be the aunt to your sister's child. Your sister will be the aunt to your child. Your brother in law will be the father to both. The question is, will the children be cousins, or for instance, sis and brother?

I suggest that you seek professional help. Perhaps speak with a close family member. Whatever you do, don't do anything in haste or desperation. I will you health and well.

Next time, if someone comes to you with a headache, tell them to take an aspirin!
