Move- and be around to support these little girls later in life. They're going to need a safe harbour and someone they can trust later... save yourself (and you immediate family) so you can be there for them later.

Yes move away fast and stay out of it. You can tell the girls the truth later in life but the 2 girls derserve to know they are half sisters... Dont ruin your marriage or baby over them. Take care of yourself and your family. Your husband is so right, he cares about you so listen to him. Move away.. Your health is more important. Your brother will get over it. Yiou are entitled to your opinion.

They have been a bit heartless towards you. You did the right thing by not telling her. You're not her mother, so it isn't your place at all. So explain that to your family when they just turn up.

Also, I'm going to say that I have to agree with your husband here. He's right to want to take you away, because you're in early pregnancy, and your baby will sense all the stress and anxiety you feel. You are pregnant, and you need to put yourself first here otherwise you're going to have a stressful pregnancy that in turn coul cause your baby to be stressed in your womb. You haven't done anything wrong at all. It wasn't your place to say anything. Is there any way that your husband could say something to your family if they won't listen to you? Sometimes family members listen to a harsh reality check from the son in law. Other than that, I'd say move away for your sake and your baby's sake. you and your baby must come first now.
