[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about when he's dead - will you be happy about how you handled things? I mean, I've heard people say "I'd give anything for one more day with my [dead relative]" but I've never heard anyone say "I wish I'd spent more time working." You can build a business. You can't get time back with a relative. [/quote] I don't know I think a lot of people regret how much they sacrificed for elderly parents. Go on the eldercare board and read the posts. OP, think about your kid. Would you want her to lose time with her own kids and possibly lose a business she built to spend time without the you when you are dying? It is ok to just visit for a few days once a month or so. Just do enough so you don't feel guilty and remember you don't owe your stepmom anything.[/quote]
