[quote=Anonymous]I've been in your shoes, op (although I was the sick one, so I guess my spouse was actually in your shoes), and while my family did help, dh's acted just like your inlaws. We also were very surprised by the friends who did or did not step up to help us. With some distance from the situation, I think that those who do not step up to help either are self-centered (which I hope is the minority), or, more likely, they are hanging on by a thread themselves - not necessarily bc of a major event, but just due to the trials and tribulations of ordinary life, and any demand on their time causes them to freeze and back away.
