At my brother's insistence, I flew across the country after his baby was born to help out his new bride. I stayed with them a while (about 6 weeks) and really got to know her
She's young and flighty but a good person, and definitely a devoted mom
The marriage didn't last a year
Now, my brother is back home with us, 3,000 miles away & only has Skype/Zoom visitation with his son. The now ex-wife is intentionally low contact b/c the divorce was messy
He keeps calling her a "she devil narcissist" who "sandbagged him with a kid" and "needs psychiatric help."
I don't think any of these things, and he's always demanding that I back him up or validate what he says
She wanted to talk to me instead of him at the end of my nephew's last Zoom visit and he got so angry I thought he was going to explode
I still want to keep open a door of friendly communication with my little nephew's Mom, so he can be a bigger part of our lives and so she can know someone in our family doesn't hate her
But my brother sees this as a "betrayal"
I am completely torn and have no idea what to do
What is the best way to handle this complicated situation.
I don't want to "betray" my brother but I don't share his POV, either
Tl;DR: I do not share brother's opinion on ex wife and now he hates me
