I have previously send a post about what my husband did to my sister. I've left him, and found my own place . I just need advice on facing my parents about this. My parents are one of those parents that are old fashioned and believe once married always stay married. So I have come to realise ever since what happend with my sister saying that my husband has sexually touched her, My parents wants to brush all this under the carpet and not care about my sisters feelings and what he has done to her. I am scared to tell my parents the split between me and my husband, I am scared of the judgement I will get from them for leaving my marriage. I am not happy and can't accept what he did to my sister. Any advice on what to tell them and how to tell them to understand? I am so scared and dont even know when is best to tell them. Thank you for your response and advice on advance.
Thank you to all of you that replied on my last post.

I didn't see your previous post but didn't want to read and run.

Will your sister support you or help with your parents?

You just have to keep in your head that you are doing what is right for YOU. Your parents will probably come round to a degree but if they don't, they don't.

Just decide what you are / aren't going to tell them but TELL them, don't ask for their opinion or permission: "mum, dad, I have left my husband. He did something I can't forgive and I wasn't happy. I know I'll be happier now I'm not with him. I'd appreciate your support but I won't be going back to him. I will live in x and do y". No further discussion.

Good luck.

Tell them he ended the marriage but you don't want to discuss it further.
