[quote=Anonymous]PP is right-- there is no need to do something drastic and you may regret it. Instead, communicate with him clearly but calmly. Rather than attacking him (though your feelings are totally justified), simply present the information. The bottom line is that caring for your mother will require both of you to participate. Figure out what you want to ask him to do-- something that will be actually helpful to you and actually doable for him, such as coming to help you for one weekend a month. It may help you to have a few therapy sessions or role-play with a friend. Maybe when he sees how much work it is, he will begin to understand what his shirking is doing to you. Of course, seeing the reality of the situation may send him running for the hills even faster.[/quote]
