Btw caveats before I start: I am definitely far more black/white and a lot less lovely than a lot of people on this thread so I hope the purely financial view I'm gonna share isn't gonna upset anyone? Sorry if so, honestly
I can't understand why she'd put her young-ish family through this financial burden, either? Obviously emotional burden but I don't want to discuss her little boy so I'll pass on commenting about that. We're about to enter a recession, cutting back of credit, rising inflation. Not only that society is going to undergo some huge significant shifts - well it already has hasn't it! Anyone normal would want to secure your family's future by any means necessary, right?! Like what the actual duck is she playing at?! Obviously cats matter and I'm not proposing we euthanise anyone who isn't self sufficient as I'm sure she'll make out we are like some mumsnet n*zi youth, but there are tons of charities and qualified professionals who can deal with this far better, with a bit of compassion & kindness too.
The only thing I can think is: 1. it's evident she's never suffered sustained periods of financial insecurity because that fear never leaves you 2. she always knew someone else could pick up the bill.
