[quote=Anonymous]I beg to disagree. When a spouse divorces later in life they are basically dumping all their problems on their kids. The only way it works is if end of life stuff is spelled out and decided as part of the split. I would never do this to my kids. In OPs case, her mom didn't want to deal with dad so took off and dumped dad on the kids. She could have easily stayed around (I mean something horrible about a longterm marriage and not have a cent of sympathy to someone you are married to 50 years) and helped with the kids even if she didn't want to see the father. My dad did the same thing. It is a mess. Until you live it you have no idea. I do suggest again to OP that she talk with mom about end of life stuff. I would spell out that given her attitude toward health/death that she should not expect OP to manage her. Actually the mom set the standard so not sure why PP would disagree. [/quote]
