A Sad Old Tale
Here’s another sad one. The elderly can be really vulnerable, and sadly, I feel like I hear a lot more stories about old women ending up in crazy situations than old men—I think a lot of women spend their lives relying on their husbands for everything, and then when the husband dies, the woman doesn’t really know how to do a lot of things for herself.
So she can’t get her groceries by herself, and then when the step breaks, she panics and tries to insist that the writer of this post fix it. And then, she gets swindled by a neighbor who takes all of her money. Really, it’s just a sad story all around.
