A long, complicated, and very personal story made short and discreet. There are 3 people. Persons A, B, and C. I'm connected with person A who is connected to person B which used to be directly connected to C. Person C got charged and was found guilty of a legal crime that involved being abusive to B. B out of that tragedy developed a guilt complex that made them believe C only did what they did because of their own personal failures. It's not true, but that's what they believe and will continue to believe until literally death. Person A has picked up the pieces left behind from C. For years A has been supportive of B through sickness as well as financial hardships. A has also been a pillar of support for myself. A has my undying love and respect. That's why for years I have stayed silent when B engages conversations repeatedly with me about how much they still love and respect C. B will often pull out their phone to gush about how much C has changed as well as share C's latest success stories. I do not enjoy hearing about C's success stories since I know the truth about B's abuse linked to C. I also find it personally insulting when B attributes things that A has done for them over the many years to person C as well. I desire them to cease acting that way, however being as B is a mentally traumatized victim who can't help themselves in addition to my personal connection with A, I cannot ever let known to either party how infuriating I find this situation. It makes me want to scream and yet I cannot for the sake of the one I love!
