Wife (38F) got us (39M & 38F) kicked out of my brother’s (35M) house over the holiday. Because she asked what kind of mother & doctor my sil (36F) was for not getting stronger painkillers for my nephew.

Throw away because some friends know my account and I'd rather not have this embarrassment go any further than it has too. And for obvious reasons, I'm using fake names. It's late and I'm going going to get right to the details. My brother Andrew, host Christmas this year on Christmas Eve for our side of the family. And the plan was myself and my sister would go to our partners respective families in Christmas day.

My nephew/andrew son is recovering from a fall down the stairs to his basement. Jake has a cut down his side and bruised ribs. During the night, Jake asked his mom if he can bring his chair from his room because it's more comfortable to sit on & doesn't hurt when getting up. Andrew went to get it for him. His fall happened a week prior to Christmas eve. My sister Dana, didn't really know the story of what happened exactly. So she asked Zoe (Andrews wife/nephews mom) what happened/how did they deal with it. My brother said it was a good thing Zoe was her because he was freaking out with the blood. Zoe works in the ER room as a doctor. She even commented that it wasn't easy because it's different when it's your kid that's hurt. My wife (just call her, Amy) then asked Zoe what type of pain killers Jake has.

She said she didn't prescribe them and even if she could. They won't give him anything too strong for something like this because of his age. She said he just needs to rest up and let her bandage his wound. My wife pushed on saying that he's clearly uncomfortable getting up and sitting down. Can't Zoe just write him a prescription. Zoe said it doesn't really work that way.

Then my wife decided to say “What type of mother won't break the rules for her son?”. And all hell broke loose. I was modified. My wife and I started getting into it instantly. I was trying to get her to apologise. Dana and her boyfriend took Jake out of the room. And after some words, Zoe told us both to get out. I was told after the fact that Zoe was crying when we left because of the comment. To say Andrew is angry is an understatement. He is furious. He told me that my wife isn't welcome back, ever.

My wife and I have been fighting non stop ever since. We're sleeping in different rooms. She won't apologise because she is the most stubborn person I have ever met when it comes to just being wrong. She feels embarrassed but when she's embarrassed she doubles down.

I need some help because it is just so bad in this house right now and she just don't budge on even remotely offering an apology.
