This article discusses a tense family situation involving a mother-in-law who accuses her daughter-in-law of infidelity after testing positive for gonorrhea. Despite being a healthcare professional who knows the disease is not transmitted via toilet seats, the daughter-in-law faces verbal attacks and unfounded accusations from her mother-in-law. The husband suggests testing the entire family, resulting in negative results, but the mother-in-law dismisses these findings. Ultimately, the son decides to take a break from the mother to foster respectful relations in the family.
I work in health care, so I am aware that gonorrhea is primarily transmitted via intimate sexual contact, not casual contact such as kissing, hugging, shaking hands, or using a toilet seat.
Phil suggested that we have our entire family tested so we would have that to fall back on the next time she leveled accusations at us.
I had my husband stand next to me, put the phone on speaker, and called Flora to let her know. She accused me of 'doctoring' the results.
Phil then took the phone and informed his mother that we would be taking a break from her for a while until she was ready to behave reasonably.
