I finally got the followup to My's Dad venture to Cambodia.
Well. As you remember, My's cousin's wife ran off with some guy to Cambodia with the family savings. My's Dad went to Cambodia to find them and fix whatever needed fixing.
Apparently the guy who she ran off with was only trying to take her money, and his wife was in cahoots. My's dad got the money back though, and dragged the woman back to Saigon. Back in Saigon, there was a long line of My's relatives waiting to get their chance to yell at her. My's cousin has taken her back, to the vocal protests of everyone. He thinks she was just having a momentary lapse of reason, and she was easily influenced by a trickster. hmm. A momentary lapse of reason that makes one leave their eight and six year olds waiting in a train station for six hours for a mom that's not coming back... Needless to say, her kids don't want anything to do with her.
The woman's family has been offering gifts of apology. Each of her family members has accepted some blame for her. Her father said that it is his fault that he didn't give her a better education so she would be more wise. Interesting theory. I don't think even a Harvard law degree is going to help this lady.
