 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: I am in my 70s and recently learned my sister and my ex-husband had a sexual relationship 50 years ago. My ex and I were separated at the time and my sister was 16. While I was separated, my entire family strongly pressured me to go back to him because he was "such a good guy." I had married very young and realized he was not right for me, but under pressure I did go back. It lasted only eight months. I am now happily married to my current husband of 46 years. Besides the fact the ex was/is guilty of statutory rape, she is guilty of a profound betrayal. In all the years since then I have supported her financially and emotionally and am still sending her money to help make ends meet. She has had a tragic life and I've felt sorry for her hardships and tried to be there for her. However, knowing she had this relationship with my ex, failed to warn me about his horrible behavior and allowed me to return to him, well, it's made me very angry. It's become harder and harder to support someone who lied to me all these years. I cannot believe I thought she was my best friend my whole adult life. She is physically and emotionally impaired now, so would probably crash if we "had it out." At the same time, I would just as soon sever all ties with her. I'm that hurt and angry. — Sister Betrayed |
