[quote=Anonymous]This situation is very hard, but your DH is taking his frustration and desperation on you. You have feelings too. Can you all go to help FIL during the weekends? I may have missed a part where your FIL is staying right now, in a nursing home or in his own home? What I have seen happen with any men is that they get the idea in their head how to handle things, and refuse to budge even though there might be easier and more helpful solutions. I hate to say it, but they lose their minds in a frenzy. My own DH got so panicked a few times, and called it "being in charge," when in fact he was so nuts that it people noticed and a lot. Imagine if the situation was reversed, would your DH do the same and take care of the kids and home while you took care of your dying parent? I bet not. I am sorry you are in this tough situation, it is tough for both of you, but it doesn't excuse him being a tyrant and a jerk to his own nuclear family.[/quote]
