^ its funny that you are saying she is a grown woman and should be able to handle her own problems, but in another post you said "should" isn't always the case. at least she is reaching out and not just keeping the problem to her self.
you are comparing oranges to apples here...two different threads...two entirely different situations.
I agree she is reaching out.....and she should. However she is reaching out to the wrong person. She is putting people in a very tough and delicate situation. I would never have done that to anyone.
But thats just me!
anyway....him and his brother cant just come to the rescue for her without knowing the facts. What if she is lying? or exaggerating...or has some other motive. They need to get some more information before they ruin their relationship with their cousin.
