Such a sad state of affairs.
I recently heard on the radio, of a lady who had terminal cancer, with a couple of young kids, whose husband was overseas (in the army I believe) serving his country, and she was afraid to use the military support service, in case it reflected badly on her husband. She even didn't want to get him back home on compassionate grounds, because she thought it would reflect on his military service in a negative way. Instead, her parents moved in with her, and were nursing her and caring for her two small children.
Now that's seriously fucked up.
@Timeless: poopers.
