Either he's admitting to some horrible poo poo, or he's revealing/accusing someone of some horrible poo poo., or something horrible happened to him, or he said something really lovely to someone. My money is on accusing the mother of some abuse or mishap, might explain why she's so hosed up about it.

In the comments OP even admits if the note directly blamed mom for the suicide she'd be even worse off, and yet she still refuses to let it go. Like jfc lady just trust your husband and uncle on this one, if they're still stonewalling you after you've found out about it and are attacking them then it's clear they're really doing it for the sake of your family. If the note had anything to say that would make you/your mom feel better there would be no reason to hide it at this point.

The fact that the husband and the uncle worked together and kept the secret about it for years makes me believe that there was some truly heinous poo poo inside that it might be best to leave buried.

the bigmouthed aunt really is the true villain there. now the op will always be wondering what the note said, and the husband and uncle's reaction to finding it pretty much guarantees that she will extremely regret knowing if she gets her husband to tell her. that lady (the aunt) fuckin suuuuuucks

Comment from the suicide note OP:quote:We couldn't figure out why he killed himself. We couldn't, for the life of us, put it together. Even his therapist was a bit taken aback. She came to the funeral and said she wish there had been signs. Now we know he told us, but we can't solve the mystery because the two of them won't say a darn thing.

He killed himself just after they’d gotten a home loan. His note simply said: “I lost another one to Ditech.”

She's just talking about her son's soccer practice or whatever and then transitions into "oh bee tee dubs, you know your brother that killed himself well he actually did leave a note" Like what is the context here. Was it like an anniversary of his death or something.

I'm not saying that the husband and uncle didn't act out of what they see as being in the interest of the op and mother, but I absolutely would divorce and never speak to anyone that did that poo poo to me.

No note, nothing. It destroyed my mother who basically laid on the couch for the next dozen years. She had a total breakdown and had to move in with her brother (my uncle)... Sounds like mom was dealing with her own pain by shutting the door to the brothers room and never moving on. She would literally have never found the note in the first place. Giving her the note is not allowing her to deal with it on her terms, it's forcing her to deal with it on the brother's terms

The husband's only mistake was not sticking to the story no matter what aunt big mouth says. What note? What is she talking about? Maybe she misunderstood uncle so and so.

The biggest mistake in the entire family was the mom and dad dating, then subsequently having children. Classic mistake, but it can be easily avoided by keeping the 2 D's in mind at all times: Don't Date

If you found evidence that your late brother was a literal war criminal or something equally heinous would you tell your elderly parents and his widow or just burn it and never think of it again? I dunno, I might want to tell them anyway. It's kind of a lovely situation either way. Whether or not you agree with them you have to respect the husband for locking that poo poo down and never telling anyone, unlike the loudmouth uncle and his spouse.

I think it was for the moms sake. the OP says she basically collapsed for over a decade due to her sons suicide, imagine what her reaction would be if the note blamed her. you can argue that it was still wrong of the husband and uncle but I think it's pretty clear they thought revealing the note would quite possibly result in another death

You never take such a huge decision away from another person. Never. When it was that woman a few pages ago who went and removed every single memento and photo of her husband's late wife, everyone tore her apart. Because how dare anyone do something like that. Yes, the letter may have hurt, but nothing gives a person the right to just destroy that. Steal that closure from a hurting mother and sister.

I don't give a gently caress about their motive, and it's obvious what it was: to protect the mother and sister. That doesn't mean they did the right, or wrong thing. I'm saying that I 100% understand where the OP is coming from in feeling betrayed and that I, if I were in the same position, would never speak to the husband or uncle again.
