[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your mom is selfish. I can understand her not wanting to get involved in your dad's care but when you or your sister are busy with your dad, she can offer to help you guys with kids, home etc. If she is the one cruising while all this is happening, she totally lacks empathy for her own kids (forget the husband ).[/quote]

Yes and no.  I get the impression that it was not a happy marriage, she finally feels like she's free of him, and isn't willing to let him dictate her life any more.  So even though this was a real health crisis, and she'd be helping her daughter, it's would (indirectly) be her altering her life because of OP's father - again.  It's unfortunate that OP is caught in the gears, but her mother obviously has some deep-seated feelings.  [/quote]
Exactly. I don't know how this isn't obvious to OP. OP, you sound rather obtuse and selfish. How about you read between the lines and realize your mother is telling you she doesn't want to help your father directly or indirectly and that, if you choose to be a martyr for him, that's on you?[/quote]
