The last time I checked, you don't talk dirty behind a family's back. There are a lot of skeletons in the closet that only family members know about one another, and I would like to believe that the family per se equates to keeping these inner secrets within the immediate circle. It just stabs right through to the back when a friend betrays you, what more when a family member does.
One betrayal could be tolerated and forgiven; the next is a whole new story.
It can't be denied that confrontations with family members are more than double the stress and pressure than those with friends. However, there is no justifiable excuse to spill about the dilemma to another person without first confronting the one directly involved.
It is also heartbreaking that a family member you've trusted with your inner, true feelings is the same person who couldn't come up to your face and talk about the issue; whatever this may be. It just can't be helped to feel that your imperfections are being used against you to validate their being less imperfect than you are.
