Almost never are these situations simple. That's one of the primary problems -- people think they are! They seem to be expecting a situation of absoluteness to be before them and that everyone in the family is clear about it. Most of the time, it is NO and NO.
I offer more detail in Post #23. I have more to share but, haven't decided if it's worth the time to write it because I'm not sure whether readers actually value it.
