Do you tell the truth to people who do not want to know?

I always tell my aunt what her son is up to because I think she should know if he's using her money to buy drugs or if he's lying to her. She just always sounds so disappointed when I call. Should I just stop telling her?

It really and truly not,what the boy does.You are definitely right to tell your aunt what the hell her son did,good job,you.Aunt would upset at first,but she will happy and appreciate,she can teach her son what and how to live,it's my opinion,nice day.

in your case, you should really tell her the truth. she really needs to know about it. but there some situations where you just need to keep quiet bcuz the truth is more often ugly for most people. or better yet, you decide if it s really necessary to know or not.

Hi, blue, it's really a dilemma!The truth makes your aunt sad and disappointed, but as a mum, she should know what her son doing, especially he does wrong or illegal things. But...I think you're right to tell her the truth because you love both of them. It's uselessful and bad to hiding the truth. Now your aunt should make a decision how she solve this problem. Because it's really a hot potato. She should solve it carefully.

You have already notified her. I think that would be enough. It would be good for you to stop calling her for a while to prevent some untoward effects and observe what will happen next. :)

It can go either way and the untold truth could have been the wiser choice since that truth cannot be always legitimate and most truths that people say are blatant fakes. Therefore it requires thinking twice before telling someone the so called truth.

You already told your aunt. I thinks that's good enough. She knows what her son is up to and do somethings and changes to make it easy and make her child change. Don't tell her no more. I hope you would solve this. It could be very difficult.
