[quote=Anonymous]As they start to get needy (physically and mentally frail), they are more and more grateful for me and all I do, have done and will do for them. They’ll never acknowledge the wrongs or the hurts they have caused me, but they’re slowly transforming and I know that they are coming to terms with the fact that they should be grateful to the one DIL/mother of their grandchildren who stuck around, is helpful, and doesn’t stand in the way of their relationship with the grandchildren. They should have played a longer game, though. Had they been kinder and more grateful and acknowledged all I have given from the start, I’d be willing to do even more. But their care will fall on DH, with me acting as a support role and a way-maker for him to care for them. They will likely go into a home about 5 hours away eventually, and I’ll go as needed and for holidays and the like, but they could have had a DIL who would have done much, much more. [/quote]
