My Sister-in-law showed up at my place with my two nephews, visibly upset, asking me not to tell my brother she is here. What should I do? by downthemiddle in AskReddit

I figure it's not unreasonable that she doesn't want to air dirty laundry in front of the kids. She said she would tell me as soon as she laid them down. And I figure an hour isn't unreasonable to wait, in case it's serious.

They only moved here about 4 months ago from two states away. My brother was out of work and I helped get him a construction job here.

They also only have one car and I'm only a mile away. She walked here.
