[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, the purpose is simply for information. I come from a  culture where people talk, and support each other, and aren't afraid of family and so on. There is no way that I would not tell her. I have never kept anything form her, and now is not the time to start. 
That woman did not betray anyone, she just said it as it was. If they wanted no one else to know they were beating their kids, they should have lived in some mountain cabin. Tough --- for his father, the cat is out of the bag. [/quote]
You heard an unsolicited and unfounded rumor about BIL,   And. You want to run to your. Sister and tell her.
My siblings and I went through what you describe. And we dealt with it in out own ways.  My husband knows a little, but not much.  I'm not hiding anything - my parents are no longer the people they were 20+ years ago. They've apologized for their treatment of us. They came from dysfunctional backgrounds themselves and had no parenting classes or therapy.  They treated us as they were treated.  My generation broke the cycle. It isn't relevant.  Unless you see some signs of abuse - don't tell your sister and treat it as petty gossip.[/quote]
