[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read through all the posts.  But basically, the same thing happened to me only reversed and it was my mother who was sick.  They divorced about 2 years before retirement as well.  My father, who wanted nothing to do with my mother, did help me out.  He didn't take care of mom, but he watch my child while I dealt with her.  They still lived in the same town and he would drive me to and from the airport each time I came to town.  He was helping ME during a rough time in my life.  He was sorry that my mom was so sick - even if this was the same woman he came to hate.

I just thought he was being supportive of my needs - not hers.  He really stepped up.

I think you should just explain to your mom.  She should help you as life is really hard right now.

I am sorry.  It sucks.  [/quote]

oh - and my dad did whine once about how I wasn't spending time with him when I was in town.  It was stressful time and I admit I snapped - but I was just told him - she's sick, she's dying she needs me and you don't.  One day you will need me and I will be there for you too.  [/quote]
