He is married & I am still weary of calling them and talking about it. They don’t live near us so it would have to be a phone call.
I hope that they have a change of heart & maybe they can get it reversed.
 
my brother had a vasectomy also and he is Catholic, he has no idea that I know, he told my mom and she told me in secret, I have prayed for him and his wife, they have two daughters, my sister in law is unable to carry a pregnancy to term, both their daughters were born early the second so early that she is now severly disabled, and will never be o.k. they are under huge pressure, this little girl needs so much help, she has had seizures, and has therapy 4 days a week, and the doctors don’t even think she will live much past her 30’s, so my brother is under a huge amount of stress, his marriage is stressed because of the huge amount of time that goes into the care for this child, you just don’t even know, it is so sad.
I don’t condone what he has done but I will not stand in judement, I know in his mind and heart he thinks he is doing what is best for his family and marriage, his wife can’t have more children, they almost did a hysterectomy after this last child, her doctor said, her uterus is shot. I pray for my brother and his family, and I just put them in God’s hands, my brother is not thinking clearly right now, and if he and his wife can’t start to come to terms with their daughters condition, I don’t know where their marriage will stand in the long run 😦

Pray for them but leave it at that, I have over stepped with my siblings before and voiced my opinion and we didn’t speak for over a year, a year of not seeing my nephew, it was just awful.
It is not for you to deal with, pray, pray , pray, and live your life.
There is probably a deeper reason than you are aware of with your brother in law, he should have kept it to himself, that is so dumb that he felt he needed to share but, sometimes with family, we agree to disagree and we pray very, very hard for them.
I thought my opinion was more important but after not speaking with my sister for over a year, I wish I would have shut my mouth and just kept praying and taking it to God instead of acting like I was God.
Good Luck
 
Kamz, Thank you. That is very good advice. I think I said earlier, we have had “problems” with them in the past & I really don’t want to start a new one. I will take it to the Lord. Thanks again. 😃
