AIBU to ask if I am missing something with the Firefighters Charity. There are often events locally raising money for this cause but I don't quite understand where the money goes, other than to themselves. I get that they do a good job and save lives but you don't see the equivalent for other worthy professions such as brain surgeons. I do perhaps have a one sided view. My ex/father of my child was a firefighter. He cheated on me constantly, including secret swinging parties in our home when I was at work. He self diagnosed himself with a sex addiction and the charity paid for him to have 'sexual counselling' which didn't work. I often wonder if the people putting their pound in the bucket realise it paid for him to have this expensive therapy. He also hurt himself mountain biking one day (off duty) and booked himself to one of their homes for physio. It was like a posh hotel. So is the firefighters charity just to help themselves or have I missed something like helping out victims of house fires?!
