[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you feel like your mom needs to be sympathetic about her ex husband, after all, they had decades together.  Maybe she is and maybe she's not. But, it seems she's happy now and that's important. She's enjoying herself again. One less person to worry about.

And if she wants to see you, give her the little free time that you have. That time with your mom is important. Don't shun her out altogether because she doesn't want to be responsible for your father's condition. You might learn something new about her. Maybe she felt a lot more resentful for decades before the divorce.  Think of how sad you would feel if she was the one in the hospital.

Keep the problems with the father separate from your mother. She's happy and healthy and that's one thing that's going good.

This is totally missing the point. It's not that the mom needs to be sympathetic about her ex husband, but that she's a shitty mom who did not show an ounce of concern or empathy to her daughters who're going through a very traumatic time of their lives. It's a huge let down to the daughters, and shows them her true colors. This is an extremely selfish woman who flaunted her happiness when her daughters were suffering. How can ppl not grasp this?[/quote]
