wilie,
we recently learned that our 'very dear friends', who have been married for decades and
have adopted their daughter over 20yrs. ago, have bought her a phone that cost over a thousand $.,
just to replace the one that she told them wouldn't be good enough to get her through her
college courses...plus, they are paying ALL of her expenses, apt. food. ETC...
plus a mega car...and no, by today's standards, they would not be considered 'rich'...
no 'job, responsibility required, because they are afraid that they will, 'lose' her,
if they don't 'step-up'...she is so 'rotten' that you can smell her!!!...
yes, we do know that it is not her fault, but, by our own experience, we do know that she will
definitely reap what she sows. just like we did in own ways and mistakes...
the grief that we feel for the family is 'beyond belief'...
for the parents 'hate each other'...
