A few months ago, I went to visit my little sister. She was a couple of months into her recovery from a terrible miscarriage. The baby had died, and she came very close to death herself, the only way the doctors could stop the bleeding was to perform a hysterectomy.
As I arrived at her home, there was several cars parked around, and it turned out to be several of her husbands sisters. They were planning the annual family reunion/seminar. My sister married a man who was the youngest of nine children, and he was the only boy. Their family owned several successful businesses and each year they "combined" business meeting with family reunion, for tax purposes you know.
It seems as if my sisters in-laws and her husband felt that since she could no longer add to the family legacy she was useless and was treating her more or less as a servant. She was told she should stay home from the seminar and recuperate. She was devastated.
I joined the husbands of the sisters in the den, and regaled them with stories of my recent excursion to a local strip club. On Saturday nights it is swingers night, and all the married couples and exhibitionists come and show off. As the evening wears on, it gets more and more erotic.
I went to refresh my drink and my sister stopped me in the hall and asked if I would take her there the next time I went. It seems she was eavesdropping on my stories. I told her that she wouldn't fit in because of her dress and makeup. Her husband was a strict Pentecostal and my sister no longer cut her hair, wore makeup, and wore high neck to floor plain dresses. The forlorned looked she gave me broke my heart, and I immediately left.
