Elcee answered Saturday July 28 2007, 9:48 am: Your brother's confession has put you in an awful position. There are no blood ties between your brother and your stepsister so there really shouldn't be any problems in them having a relationship. However, that said, if they do break up that is when the problems will start if they can't live in the same house together. You have not given their ages so I am assuming they are still in their teens. Yes you must have felt awful lying to your Dad and you should try to avoid doing so again. If he asks you if you know anything tell him that you were told some things in confidence and he should really be speaking to your brother. That way you are not lying to him and you are also keeping your brothers secret. I know this will inevitably mean that your Dad will realise something is going on and a confrontation may arise from it. This is not your fault and you should not take any of the blame should it come your way. Families are difficult at the best of times to get a good balance and if this does cause problems, please point out to them all that it is not against the law for your brother and stepsister to be together. I hope that when this relationship is out in the open, your Dad and Stepmum are pleased about it. Good luck. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]

hope this helps, good luck x [ PH03N1X's advice column | Ask PH03N1X A Question ]
holahayley56 answered Saturday July 28 2007, 1:29 am: Stay out of it completely. If your brother talks to you about it, just say, I don't want to lie to dad when he asks me about you too, and I don't want this on my shoulders. So I'm just gonna ask like I never heard it. And then if you're dad brings it up, just be like i'm not sure. or something. I wouldn't tell on your brother to your dad, becausee thats a pretty big secret. If its brought up again, just kinda pretend like you didn't hear him or something. [ holahayley56's advice column | Ask holahayley56 A Question ]
