I disagree with you, MrsBOOMM. I think we need to have open discussions about these things. Some things thrive in darkness and this is one of them. People are fearful to speak up, either because others will think badly of them, or because they are embarrassed, or simply because they are too uncomfortable because its a "taboo" topic.
When we say things like "Take it to God in prayer"--that sounds very noble, but we effectively end conversation and communication, because we are letting others know that it is inappropriate to discuss this with anyone but God--and that isn't the case.
Families can discuss things and listen to one another, and we're supposed to be family.
We shouldn't avoid topics simply because they embarrass us or make us uncomfortable.
