In other words, what would be more important to you, salvaging your father's reputation, or helping your sibling find healing?

Okay, I'll answer your loaded question.
I wouldn't allow the father to continue to abuse the sibling. I would look for a creative solution, a way to help the sibling without destroying the father. Actually, the father needs as much help as the sibling, maybe more.
There. I answered your question. Now you mine. And if you've forgotten, it's: Who are you talking about when you describe people who turn a blind eye to problems by saying Lee was a great guy? If it was me, sorry, but I guess you haven't been paying attention to the nub of my general argument.
