Yes, I like her. Her mother..practically raised my husband even tho she was not much older. She even introduced him to his brginnings of religious upbringing.
That cousin ( her mom ) passed little more than a year ago,
She has had a crazy few years.
Retiring from the military
Divorce
The MS
Her brother took his life 3 years ago
Her mom passed and and after multiple protracted illnesses
And then her elderly father ( a dictator ) got lymphoma
Her youngest sis has a mess of $$ problems and turns to her ( she is the oldest ) to support the 3 nieces ( all very young ) ..she bought her a house and " rents " it to her -- when she gets the rent... the girl has a man who doesn't like to work..
The other sister ..went to medical school and well...she is tied up with her own life and wants no drama..she escaped from the craziness and aint going back.
Her ADULT college age kids are needy ( and spoiled ) and the fact that their day just died ( the raw oysters ) they are playing it to the max
Everybody is holding onto her legs and expecting her to mend and fix their lives and frankly her legs with the MS and a fresh dose of menopause stirred in are not that steady ...well...
She called and said she felt upended and could she come
Her faith is shaken
She knows I will listen and with me it is black and white ..no gray.
I think she wants someone to tell her she need to shake those leeches off and put herself first.
She has always been the rock supporting everyone $$ wise and emotionally. Even her parents. She doesn't have anything left to give.
She can come and rest up because if and when she cuts that bunch loose...there is gonna be some howling and pushback like nobody's ever seen.
