RE: The unknown fate

I also grew up hearing the same phrase "a problem shared is half-solved". If the problem shared is with the wrong person, it can even be worse. Your mum and dad decided to help her out due to what she was going through, and she decided to spread rumors about them. So many of us have been hurt by the people we helped and trusted, it makes us want to close up and never help anyone again. But even if one person misbehaves, there are still others who needs helped and will really appreciate it.

So yes, a problem shared can be half solved if its with the right person.
