I got a friend who's on the same path. His wife left him and their 12 years old son for a fling that didn't last. One year later she wants to come back but nobody want her back. Even the son doesn't want anything to do with her.
It's pretty sad all around. The woman is old and decrepit. Can't take care of herself and she has no living relatives that care. Her son is doing it out of a sense of obligation. Her daughter is dying and she has more problems besides taking care of her mom. It was a nice condo, much too big for one old lady but every room was filled with crap from other lifetimes. Morbid.
Everyone talked about what a sweet old lady she is so other than a friend of the daughter hinting at her running away you'd think her family was a bunch of shits. Once I started piecing it together I learned the truth.
