[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - this isn’t the pain Olympics. I realize people have it way worse than we do. But fact is we live 200 miles away from fil and sil lives nearby. We are still coordinating, helping with what we can and emotionally invested in fil’s health and life. I just didn’t realize we would be doing this at the age of 35. My mom is just starting to deal with this in her 60s. [/quote] You're correct. 35 IS young to be doing this. I am 57 and just now having to deal with this kind of help for my folks. It's not easy and I can't imagine doing it when my kids were that little. If I can give you some advice is that you need to dedicate your time to your little ones and let your husband deal with is father. That doesn't mean you don't support him; it means that your needs and your kids needs are first.[/quote]
