Ailments and depression and deprivation.

Tweet

One of my cousin sister is laid down by a number of ailments. She recently suffered a brain stroke, suffers from diabetes, had to get her toe finger amputated and had to go through a plastic surgery. Today she is in bed and can't walk. She has to depend on her drunkard husband to take her to the doctor according to his whims. She is always in mental stress. Though not highly qualified she had acquired lessons in batik painting and applic work and is very good at it. She tried to start her own business but people took advantage of her simplicity and cheated her of her dues. She had no other way but to be at the mercy of her torturous husband. My aunt has left some assets in her name which her husband wants to encash and transfer in his name. She knows he is waiting for my aunt to die and then play a trick and the money from my cousin. She apprehends torture after mother's death and is in depression. She often calls me to vent out her sorrows. As her elder sister I give her a patient hearing. That's all I can do and give her hope to live on as long as God wants her to. She is leading a deprived life since she was a young girl. I wish she had a good source of earning and didn't have to depend on such a nut. She can't get a divorce for she has no where to go. My aunt is too old and has to stay with her younger daughter.
