Have cousins that have been inpatient but anything going back a generation of two, nope. You gotta understand that on my fathers side of the family saving face was so important that they would have locked anyone up in an attic rather than someone be seen as less than perfect. In fact my fathers mother died of a sore throat because she wouldn’t go see a doctor for something as insignificant as a sore throat. That was in the 50’s. His side of the family your name is everything and you carry on no matter how you feel.

Mum’s side isn’t quite so drastic but they have the German pride, you do what you must no matter how you feel. Your depressed? Tough get up and go to work. The banisters need polishing! A clean house is next to godliness. So work. Work is the solution to all problems.
