Just an update on my story. Since writing my last piece there has been another "crisis" which involved a niece requiring hospital treatment. After resisiting for as long as possible my wife gave way to the moral blackmail and sent the money. Later we found that her sister had used a private room in a private hospital, rather than go to the much cheaper public one. Why? Because we would pay! When they "needed" the money we got texts from everyone, several every day. Since it was sent not one. No thank you of any sort. I do my best to try to understand but sometimes it is hard.
