In Forgiving We Find Peace and Happiness

Last Saturday I was so furious with my sister in law who screwed up and cheated on brother. She got pregnant by a family friend who used to visit their house right under my brother's nose. From the start she got pregnant I already told my siblings that it was not my brother's son and even frankly told my brother about. From that time on i kept my distance because i don't want to say anything that will just hurt my brother. Obviously he loves my sister in law so much. Is it love or he is only afraid to face the reality that his wife cheated on him? i don't know... whatever it is, i still respected him for he is my brother and i love him. But, last saturday, i lost my patience because of the continuing gossip spreading in their neighborhood... I had a hated argument with my sister in law with her accepting her mistake, but sad to say my brother won't believe it and even came defended her in front of me and my brother. It even made me angrier that i slapped her with my cap. I went home that day still very angry and made a promise to myself that i'll go back the following day with our mother so mama will slap my sister in law even harder for putting our family name in shame. However, before i went back to their place i attended church service first. During the Sacrament, i realized how bad i've badly i addressed the problem. Is it wrong for fighting for a sibling who was been cheated? a sibling who is very kind and who doesn't know how to fight back? I don't know, but i found the answer when i went back with my sister and mama.I learn to forgive her and eventually accepted the situation and asked her for a commitment to change for the better for my nieces. I don't know if i did the right thing, but for me things can't be changed anymore. What's done is done.. what is important is that we all wanted to make things better and to live as one family who love each other in honor of our father.
