I have indeed participated in that scenario. I don't see that as
malicious at all. If the person being discussed finds out and sees it
otherwise, all you can do is state your case, lick your wounds and
wonder why someone relayed the comments on to the person. Both you and
the person you are concerned about have plenty of reason to be
suspicious of the motives of the person who relayed the conversation!

The scenario you describe is fairly common in siblings discussing an
aging parent's condition. Sometimes the chasms are never repaired, and
it's tragic, especially since malice was never intended.
