Well, I do not know the full facts of the case (although I suspect that "it" may be more common than polite society would like to admit),but it seems to me that the "punishment" is a bit severe.I mean,why punish the mother,and,therefore,by extension,the son,who may well be now rendered even more vulnerable and confused after Mummy's sudden departure ?? If he didn't even know that bonking Mummy was not on the agenda, then obviously he must be two fiddles short of a ceilidh band.Still, I suppose it gives the interfering,self-opinionated,holier-than-thou ,higher echelons of the Irish "establishment" an excuse to seize the moral High Ground (again ! ).
