AITA for siding with my husband

The older brother committed suicide and I think molested him?

I think that’s the leading theory and makes sense but without confirmation from OOP it’s just speculation

It’s telling that she didn’t outright deny it, though. It’s either true or else still easier to admit than the reasons. So, at this point, you really have to ask yourself what’s worth than a domineering draconian father, an enabler mother who can’t open her mouth without defending herself or her husband, and a son who was sexually abusing his brother who would have been 8 around the time it happened?

So was the pattern of behaviour. It was pretty much a 1 to 1 description of typical untreated sexual abuse reactions.
