When a family member unfortunately got a progressively degenerative disease, it reveals the best and worse of the other family members. Just chatted with my senior..her mum has got a very bad illness. She, being the youngest in the family, has to burden her mother's medical fees, all because of her father's selfishness. He has kept all his wife's savings and his own away, preventing them from using the money to pay for the medical fees, saying these are his hard-earned money. He even became abusive verbally and physically when my senior tried to made her own decisions on her mother's treatment.
I dunno how to console her.. she being so devastated with her mum's illness..and without the support of her father. All her relatives shunned her because of her father and now she couldn't get enough money for her mum's treatment.
Has he forgotten all the vows he made to her on marriage day that he will take care of her even during illness? I dunno y he wun feel guilty of denying her, his wife from receiving proper treatment, whom i m sure took care of his everyday needs for so many years. Even if it means losing her even after spending so much money, i would still tink its worth it for the one you so loved.. and would like to protect.
