These very real and ackward situations can be the cause of severe consequences within the family. At some point, "family" must realize that the "big cover-up," is not always for the "best..".but in most cases it happens to, "save face," from the opinion of the community, at large. All things happen for a reason...in the end, it depends on how we handle the reality of it all.
