I admit I managed to hide the emotional abuse and cruelty for as long as I could but there came a time when the lack of respect by way of totally inappropriate behavior was pretty much apparent. I have a lot of rage and shame over this.

But I also have a great deal of resentment for those who ignorred the situation when it became quite plainly obvious. If you knew your brother-in-law was running around with women behind your sisters back, why would you be friends with him? If you knew your friend stole over a million dollars from his wife - who is now forced to live on disability - don't you think you would question that? Your friendship?
