[quote=Anonymous]OP I am so sorry.  I am glad your wife survived and that her overall prognosis is good, even if the road of recovery will be long.  I have personal experience w/ stroke and it is terrifying, though the level of recovery that is possible is astonishing.

I wish you and your family all the best.  I am so sorry that you don't have more support, and I agree with all the people saying that you should not be afraid to reach out.  I would happily help a teacher in my kids' school, or a neighbor family, or coworker in these kinds of circumstances.

Do you know about Caring Bridge?  www.caringbridge.org

It's a site where you can update friends and family on a situation, but also where you can coordinate care and support.  Maybe your sister could help you set up something like that as a way to ask for, organize, and easily receive help with things like meals, carpools, childcare, respite options for you, etc...

I hope you can all find some peace and enjoyment of the holiday season.  It sounds like you should write off the inlaws and just give up on the emotional energy you are putting into that side of things.  Your energy will be better spent elsewhere.

Hugs to you and your family.[/quote]
