[quote=Anonymous]So, I had a time period where one kid was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that meant profound intellectual disability, my other kid had brain cancer and my mom dropped dead out of nowhere.

Assuming your hsuband isn’t generally a jerk, you need to sit down and decide that there are only THREE THINGS you can care about. My suggestion would be to first focus on the potential melanoma. If you die, that will be bad. So, focus on that. I would likely then ask my husband to jump in and focus on our kids anxiety. That is ENTIRELY YOUR HSUBANDS PROBLEM for the foreseeable future. You then focus on your job if you are the breadwinner and the carrier of heal to insurance (it was the same for me and I sure as heck could not lose health insurance while my kid had brain cancer). And I would make my third priority spending time with my dad. But, you also have to simply come to terms with the fact that he is going to die. That just is what it is.

You may pick different priorities. But this is just to give you the general idea.[/quote]
