I was married for five years. For three of those, I cared for my paralyzed mother-in-law. While my husband secretly took his mistress on vacation, I broke down and called my father. He said, "Honey, take your mother-in-law to the plaza downstairs. And don't forget to bring photos of your husband and his mistress." I did exactly that. People there gathered around, buzzing with gossip. My mother-in-law's old friends came over one by one. Someone recorded it and posted it online: [What's the point of keeping a son like this?] My husband got roasted on social media from overseas, and his company fired him immediately. The mistress's husband saw the video and flew over that night to catch them red-handed. Shouldn't family shame be aired? I say otherwise. Some things only work when the whole world knows.
