[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would mention it to my sister. But OP, your sister probably knows already.

+1  If you two are as close as you say you are, your sister might feel relieved to finally be able to discuss it with you.[/quote]

+2  If it was my husband and my in-laws, I'd want to know. [/quote]
Because?[/quote]

Because if someone told my spouse sensitive information about my family, I'd want to know exactly what it was and who said it. if the information is false, I'd want to be able to refute it. If it was correct, I would want to give my version of the events, how I dealt with it and any pertinent background. I found out as an adult that my mother was abused by her mother and stepfather. As a result, she left home at an early age and had a large family that was precious to her. She was the most dependable and hardworking person we knew. We didn't love her any less because she had been abused and it explained certain strong feelings she had, as well as insecurities. We respected her more for having overcome early adversity and we loved my grandmother regardless.  My husband and I are partners for life and there is nothing we wouldn't do to support one another.

My question was directed to the poster who was relating to the *wife,* NOT the husband (victim.) You obviously misunderstood.[/quote]
