Jess2 migrated to New Zealand with her dad. Her mum passively refused to go along. A month before their supposed departure date, mum killed herself.
Interestingly, Jess2 married a rich man's son and returned to her home town. I wonder why she took the trouble to leave this country. With inherited wealth as well as married money, she struggled with four young children with no household help. She became run-down, haggard, and looked twenty years older than her real age.
While she could financially afford to deliver each child in New Zealand, she haggled with child care providers in her hometown. She was terribly calculative with her few remaining friends. Dealing with depression, she mumbled about her future was all already written in the genes. Those of us who knew her past, feared that eventually she would kill herself too. Yet who could help a person who was secretive, distant and suspicious?
The fact that she grew up with maids in her childhood home, did not help her adult life as a homemaker. With much wealth to spare, she chose to do every bit of house work and ferry each child herself. She worked herself to a frazzle.
