I love my brother very much, but he's a deadbeat dad to his kids.
His sons are older- 11 and 16 and he never bothers to call them or anything. He doesn't keep in touch and owes thousands in child support. The 16 year old keeps contact with me and I feel like I'm the only link to his father he has. I am always careful not to talk about his dad unless he asks about him because I don't want to force a relationship on him because I understand he probably feels abandoned.
Today, my ex sister in law called and wanted my brother's phone number because the 11 year old was hurt on his bike and needed to see a dentist. She needed to know if my brother would help pay the dental bill, so I gave her the number. My sixteen year old nephew called me later to tell me his dad was rude to their mother and refused to help. I feel like I should say something to my brother, but I'm not sure it's my place. Help!
