It's time to end things but how?
Over the last three years, I had developed a platonic relationship with this family at my house of worship. Among them were a married couple in my age group and their kids along with the wife's parents. However, there have been lots of red flags such as 1. The husband is domestically abusive to his wife and is becoming possessive of her. He even did what he could to cut off opportunities for his wife to meet with friends and family 2. The husband lies all the time to the point of certain situations that are extremely dangerous. 3. The wife and her parents are in perfect denial and think things are going to get better 4. The wife and her parents are telling me to keep certain things a "Secret." I was going to keep her parents as friends but like their daughter, they are keeping things a secret too. I just feel this is a sign they aren't the right people for me to be around. What should I do?
@Summershy When you write "extremely dangerous" it makes the situation sound more serious than choosing which kind of people you prefer to be around. It makes me wonder whether there are people in this family at risk of real harm, and who, apart from you, knows about what's been going on. Do you feel someone could or should somehow intervene?
If you'd prefer not to reply in public here, but you'd like to discuss things further, feel free to message me.
