    OP as part of my job I see families and relatives every single day of people who have committed crime... and I mean everything across the spectrum, sex offences and all. You are not responsible for other people. You can only live your life the way you see fit. I can see why you'd feel embarrassed to tell people, but once again, its not your fault! Guilt by association is a big thing for some people, but you haven't done anything wrong.
  • It's hard to respond when we don't know what happened, or what said family member did.

    I do realise that, but it's not appropriate or fair to go in to details on here.
    Thanks for the replies. It is a difficult situation but there is little I can do about it.

    Yep, There is little you can do about it, so just do your best at getting on with your life and do what you would normally have done, whatever they have done should not reflect on you.........
