Would you tell your siblings problems with your closest relative?

Question

Even if you are super super close with tht relative? Would you share that, lets say you are having personal problems with any of your siblings? Or you keep that away from your relatives as that is none of their business,

Today I found out my married sister shared to our closest female cousin that she is having personal disagreements with our brother. I mean that you can't do. I mean I dont ask my cousin when she is having disagreements or she is mad at her brother. My sister did do that and of coruse now my brother ended up being a lousy, heartless bad son and for that my female cousin is also upset at my brother for what my sister told her in confidence.

Yeah seriously my family and especially my mother was like the worst about this type of bullshit. She would tell my aunt, her sister everything that was going on all the time. And then my Aunt would tell all her kids, my cousins, everything I was doing. But anything that happened on the their side of the family and you would not hear a word about. I would get so pissed at my mother, I mean seriously if I farted in school both sides of our family on my dads and mother sides would know because my mother would tell them everything. I seriously stopped telling my mother anything that I wanted to stay private. Which was tough because you wanted to tell your mother things and you wanted to talk about things but even as a kid you know to keep your secrets, very secret.

My whole life my sister would always tell me not to tell mom anything or she will tell everyone. My oldest sister you could not trust either, because when mom would start asking her stuff she would deflect by talking about my stuff because I was the one who told nobody anything. My youngest sister I could trust half the time, but even then I would only tell her things that I would prefer my mom not know, but would not get upset if she found out.

Seriously when family members do this it is very upsetting because they external family starts to for, opinions about you based upon hearsay without any real facts. And god know what or who else they are sharing your business with... complete its complete BS.

What happens in the family stays in the family. Relatives do not need to know what goes on you are your siblings.
