This is such a fascinating ethical dilemma, and there are more and more of these stories due to ancestry.com and 23 and me. How complex. I find it difficult to be holding onto information like that and not telling the truth. When you hide secrets, it distances you from people. It’s not that you love them any less, but you don’t treat them the same. I would feel bad for this sister. When she’s holding this sort of information, it will shift her treatment of her brother, no matter what. If I were the sister, I would tell my brother, trusting that the universe gave me the information for such a time is this. I think generations of our parents and grandparents kept secrets, but kids intuitively know when something is off, and it’s so invalidating when you can sense a truth, and no one will name it.
i think Rev. Suz aka mom makes a good point. society has changed now that we live in an age where its much more difficult to keep a secret like this from someone. Also, we don't ever learn the age of the brother. maybe he's very very young. in any case, i think he should be told asap.
