You should firmly tell her that this kind of story is inappropriate and you don't want to hear it.
First, you can express your discomfort immediately. Then, you might want to change the topic to a more positive and neutral one, like talking about hobbies, recent books you've read or interesting movies. By doing this, you are setting a proper boundary for your conversation while also guiding the conversation to a more appropriate and enjoyable direction.
Respond with kindness and respect. If the story is sad, offer comfort. If it's a happy story, share in her joy. You can also ask follow - up questions to show that you are interested. For instance, if she tells you about a trip she took, you could ask 'What was your favorite part of the trip?' or 'Did you meet any interesting people there?'. This helps to keep the conversation going and shows that you value what she has to say.
You could tell her directly that you are not comfortable with this kind of topic and ask her not to bring it up again.
You should investigate further. If the voice of truth is telling you a different story, it might be based on some facts that you're not yet aware of. Say in a news story, if the voice of truth says it's different from what's reported, dig deeper into the sources and cross - check the information. This way, you can either confirm or refute the different story being told.

In a more serious case, if it's a pattern of behavior, he could even consider getting professional help or reporting the behavior if it's considered inappropriate or unethical.
This is a very inappropriate and uncomfortable situation. You should firmly tell your mom that such topics are not suitable for discussion. For example, you could say, 'Mom, this is a private and inappropriate topic, we should not talk about it.'
The daughter should firmly say no. She has the right to set her own boundaries and should make it clear that this is not appropriate talk.
The husband's response is crucial. He should listen attentively without interrupting her when she is telling the story. After that, he can hold her and tell her that it's not her fault. He should also take practical steps. If there are any signs of physical injury, he should take her to the hospital. And in the long - term, he can help her regain her confidence and sense of security, for instance, by being more present in her daily life and engaging in activities that she enjoys to help her forget the traumatic experience.
If your boss persists, it might be a sign of a very unprofessional and inappropriate work environment. You could consider reporting this behavior to a higher - up or the HR department. For example, you can say 'I'm sorry, but this is not an appropriate topic at work. I would like to focus on work - related matters.'
