Maybe I can try. It's something people say in the US. If let's says you keep threatening to do something and don't over and over again. If you acturally do it's the boy who cried wolf. Threatened to do something so many times that when he actually did no one belived he would.
My own experience is my Father who always complained about chest pain and nothing was wrong. It was always diagnosed as anxiety. One night my nephew called and said he was having trouble breathing. My answer was breath in a paperbag he's probably hyperventilating. Instead it was a heart attack and he died. And yes I feel great guilt over not believing my nephew. Love Phillipa
