[quote=Anonymous]My husband was a war refugee. He supports his mother, who was the mastermind behind their complex escape from their war-torn country when he was a child, and who held the family together during their first, very difficult years of their refugee status in their host country. DH and his brothers also send money back to their home country to support distant relatives who could not escape, including paying for the law school education of one his nieces there. War has repercussions beyond the dates of actual conflict and percolates down the generations. It's humbling for me, a sheltered middle class person, to know how much my husband's family has suffered and persisted in the face of adversity. I entirely agree with my husband's support of some of his family members. [/quote]
