Piff situation reminds me of Chaminque Holdsclaw's somehow. Obviously different details. I'm wondering how many of these family members she has to "support" and why, outside of helping her parents with expenses, since she has no kids I know of.

Epiphanny sounds like a woman who is struggling with depression. She needs support. I hope she gets it.
