The trouble with that "told you so" is not that it isn't true -- it is true. Yet having been down that road in more local and personal situations, a person decent and smart enough to have seen it coming will have not the heart to say it when it becomes obvious.

This may be a area of inter-personal communications in which I could take some advice. Yet even the Israelite prophets had problems with the dynamic. No one ever takes "I told you so" in any good sense, evidently -- the best you can do is reach the generations after the deafened ones. There are very few who can take rebuke at this level, and far fewer who seem able to give it effectively.

Oh I know, but I will love to imply it. I wouldn’t do that for my husbands sake, he knows his parents are so totally wrong on this, but they are his parents.
