My husband and I just recently found out that his mother has maintained her entire retirement savings invested in a risky way. She’s two to five years from retirement and wouldn’t listen to reason when we spoke with her. maintained her entire retirement savings invested in a risky wayは「危険な方法で投資していた全ての退職貯蓄を保持していた」でしょうか？あと、listen to reasonの意味は何でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

「（彼女の）全ての退職貯蓄を危険な方法で投資していた」であっていると思います。また、ニュアンスが若干異なりますが、 「（彼女の）全ての退職貯蓄を危険な投資に充てていた」 と言い換えることもできると思います。 "listen to reason" 「理屈に耳を貸そうとしない」 つまり、息子夫婦は母親にその投資の危険性を理論的に説こうとするにもかかわらず、一切聞く耳を持たない、ということです。

（1）の続きです。 Like all really primitive people, women will go on refusing to believe in or bow down to the laws of Nature. Nature may tell them, for instance, of the correct position of the human waist; but they will not listen to her; they will insist that the human waist may be anywhere you like between the neck and the knees, according to the fashion of the moment, and Nature may as well put her fingers in her ears and go home. they will not listen to herのtheyはwomenだと思うのですが、そうするとherは誰を指しているのでしょうか？Natureですか？ Nature may as well put her fingers in her ears and go homeの意味が全くわかりません。どういうことを言っているのでしょうか？ ----Spring Fashions：Robert Lynd

One day about three months after I first arrived in Japan, I suddenly realized I was absorbing Japanese. On that day I was riding on a streetcar on my way to work. An elderly woman entered at one of the stops and sat down right next to me in the empty car. When I was addressed entirely in Japanese, I cut her off with zenzenwakarimasen. This didn't seem to discourage her from continuing to talk. I just smiled and nodded as she spoke and felt relieved when we arrived at her stop. Once alone, I realized that I had understand some of what she had said, and that the entire conversation had been in Japanese. This sudden awareness was exhilarating. From that moment on, I could no longer resist being swept up in the currents of Japanese language and culture.

My mother chooses to hide the fact that her boyfriend is a pedophile. He abused me 15 years ago, when I was a teenager, and it still haunts me. Mom broke up with him for a short period of time, but they got back together, and the abuse started again. She didn't want to press charges because it would mess up his retirement. She is still seeing this man. I have had great therapy. My wonderful husband and I have a 5-year-old daughter. We used to allow her to stay overnight at Grandma's until she told us that Grandma took her to her boyfriend's house. I wrote my mother a letter and told her that as long as this man is in her life, we wouldn't be. we wouldn't beは何か省略されているのでしょうか？意味も教えてください。よろしくお願いします

- drained my savings
While in high school, I babysat and worked for a local grocery store. I saved a lot of what I made and had a pretty good amount in savings, but I took a school trip to France that had cost me almost $3,000, AKA my entire savings at that point. The trip was amazing and I don’t regret it, but since then I have repeatedly drained my savings account for something I thought was really important. drainedは「使ってしまった」ということでしょうか？よろしくお願いします
