“It’s my fault. There’s no trusting a woman; why make an exception for one’s mother? I should have come here to check upon her yearly at the very least, no matter how much unpleasantness would have ensued.”
It’s not that she’s a woman it’s that she is your mother and you ought to check in on her and your kid sister whom you are giving large sums of money to keep up. Money that should arguably be your mothers and not yours as a widow ought to inherit her husband’s estate not the eldest son of his mother is still alive. I know the sexism is important and accurate but its still appalling.
