Not sure what to say

So, it's long and complicated, but my brother in law's girlfriend just had her baby. At the time of conception/pregnancy, their relationship was very rocky and volitile. They were living together, while both still married to their respective spouses (although "separated"). She has two daughters from the previous marriage.

They are now both divorced (although I don't think she is, really, she just claims she is), and now engaged.

He has put our family through a lot of crap, and now that the baby here it's all cupcakes and confetti for everyone but me.. I'm not really sure how to act. I haven't said anything to him, and I don't know what to say. I know I should be the bigger man here, but it's hard to do a 180 with regards to the way I feel. I feel that if I act all happy and congratulatory, it'll just be fake.

Sorry, this was more of a short rant than anything... don't have many people to talk to about it.

You should congratulate and be happy for him.

He's your sisters ex husband?? If so, why should you even be concerned about his life? They're divorced, he's moved on to something else, I just don't see why you should care. He's not blood and he's no longer related by marriage. He's now related to you as much as I am.... which is not at all.

That's pretty much what I was thinking.
