sigh. It was tough with no one except hubby who cared.

my parents cared and visited all the way from montreal many times when I was sick, but never ever shared their wealth, quite extensive, with me in any much way even when I was homeless and then on welfare. I was left alone to rely on charity from strangers and my very rich sister who sent me her used clothes including her second hand red flashy thongs when I had nowhere to live and had been very sick. It was so weird to feel like I was receiving charity instead of generous fraternity from sister who travels the world 6 times a year minimum. It hurts to see people so selfish and stingy when you need them and they are rich and your family. anyway, no one except hubby ever cared to pay for me since i could not work. You truly see the real colours of your people when you fall down and must get back up. Who is there? Who helps significantly whenever they can? hubby and his family for me.  My parents have shown much love if not money over the years and helped the shop by leaving reviews. That is nice. And they have been tremendous moral support when hubby was acting up very often recently.

money is not the only thing to share. But if you have much of it: share it.
