Oh man, Rebecca - I felt the sting...and just why right?
I just got back from a trip - and would do you know? I had an afternoon visit with a cousin in law who has been utterly depressed and out of it for a few months now.
Her brother passed away last year and what she saw in families and swore could never happen to hers - happened:
Her sister became that "vulture" you described and she just couldn't believe it.
I tell you - it just never fails to both surprise and hurt.
Thank you lovely lady for reading and sharing a personal anecdote on this - though I wish you had none. 😘
Much kindness to you!
