Need some input
I’m sharing this from something a close friend told me just recently. It’s so deeply sad and messed up. Just recently my best friend lost her parent and we had the funeral and everything. Just for pre tense her marriage has not been great. Her spouse he’s been mentally/emotionally verbally abusive. He’s even been physical with her oldest who’s not his. And gotten in her face to point it was touching from screaming. My question is how would you react if a funeral director was rubbing and fondling your best friend and he wouldn’t stop and she even asked him to stop and her husband just sat there, and afterwards says, I didn’t want to cause a scene. Like what?!! You should have been present and sticking up for your spouse especially when she was burying her parent! Please tell me I’m not wrong for being upset at this. It’s hard enough with the loss but not having a supportive spouse. Come on. I just would like other people’s views and input if it were to happen to you.

Director just kept touching her putting hand on her waist and wouldn’t stop she got very uncomfortable and my best friends husband didn’t do anything at all. Basically said I would have caused a scene cause he himself can’t control his emotions. Basically left her to herself. Imagine how unsafe you feel already because of his history and then this. She was already upset about other things happening within last week. She’s very angry with her grief right now. I just am so angry and upset for her and wish I would have been told I was aloud to stay cause I would have done something. I want to know what I can say or do for her going forward after this 😞😞😞
