[quote=Anonymous]So, this year has been pretty shitty - I've been diagnosed with an illness which has a very poor prognosis.  Although, at the moment, I'm doing pretty well and not dying quite yet (I might live another 2-3 years, and there is a small chance I actually live another 10-15 years).  So my inlaws, who live across the country, decided that would buy a condo in the building next door to our house.  The plan was that they would move here and help out with me and our three young kids as I decline.  I should add that I love my inlaws dearly and enjoy them immensely, and honestly would LOVE to have them nearby not just to help with this tragic situation, but just to have them in our lives.

Anyway, long story short, they bailed on the move at the last minute and said that "if/when I am really dying" they will reevaluate the need to move here.  I am so pissed and feel totally abandoned.  Honestly, I just needed to vent about that -- in reality I understand that it is a huge move for them and they are not going to uproot their lives unless it really is needed.  GAH.  I also feel they are missing to buy this perfectly located condo at a great price right now; who knows what would happen in a year or two with the market and availability.  And I feel desperate to know that my kids will have their grandparents nearby, as I might start to decline very rapidly at any time.  GAH again.  I can't really talk about this with DH because he felt it was above and beyond what they should have ever offered to do to begin with, and who the hell am I to be mad at them and really expect them to leave the town they've lived in for 30 years.
