[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you care about stepfather? Let his family deal with it. Not your problem.[/quote]

OP said they have a good relationship with the stepfather. The fact that you, PP, can't even imagine that someone might actually care about a stepparent (whom OP says they've known for 25 years) is sad. You need an empathy transplant. Your own family might choose not to "deal with it" when YOU need help someday. [/quote]

As hard as this might be to believe, I actually do care about SFIL. I’ve known them both for almost two decades. Even through he can handle his own care, I think it’s sad that he’s being abandoned by the people closest to him when he needs them the most.

I’m always happy to offer my ILs practical help. Not financial but practical.[/quote]

She has asked you for nothing and has a plan to move in with other family. Stop borrowing trouble.[/quote]

Are you squatting at your adult offspring’s house, too, PP?

I can’t avoid “borrowing trouble”. I actually care about my spouse. And if that word bothers you? Well, that’s a personal problem.[/quote]

You seem to care for everyone but MIL.[/quote]

What you don’t realize is that if it wasn’t for me, DH’s mother wouldn’t have heard from DH at all on Mother’s Day or any other day.

I am learning that I need to distance myself from this whole mess. My problem always has been that I care when I shouldn’t. It’s an occupational hazard. I’m working on it.[/quote]
