*Update below*
In the last 48 hours, my sister-in-law V. has graciously consented to fulfill her legal obligations to her husband, in a sort of "Lady Bountiful" way. She will let P. move back into the family home after being discharged today from the hospital, but only for a week, then she's going to set him up in an apartment and give him a few months rent, while she sells the marital home and moves back home to her parent's estate with the kids. In another country far enough away he will have a tough time exercising his visitation regularly.
Considering how disabled he is now, and has no disability insurance, (he never qualifed because of the cholesterol) and how he provided for her and the kids until just recently in an incredibly generous manner, I'm appalled that she now thinks that's all she owes him. Instead this feels to me like because he can no longer be an unlimited cash machine, she's dumping him.
Thank you all for listening to me rant about this BTW, the only way I can keep my cool about this around the house and in public is to vent here. I just can't be zen everywhere all at once. Too effin' hard.
I'm off to buy some more peesticks now. A pointless waste of money, but maybe it will shut up the voice in my brain telling me it did work this time.
Updated to say: Nada...one line, shit CD31 and counting...where is AF?

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear she's doing something, but agree with you that it's a pittance. It does indeed sound like she's taking off now that the ATM is empty. Here's hoping that karma bites her in the ass at some point in the near future.
ReplyDeleteAs for your last sentence...whhaaaaa? Did I miss something? How many DPO are you?
Well, isn't that nice of her.
ReplyDeleteSome people.
I don't know your family, but I would hesitate to jump to conclusions knowing what can go on behind the closed doors of a home that includes a person with a mental illness. Perhaps she has very good reason for behaving the way she is. Perhaps this was just the proverbial last straw.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad state of affairs....
ReplyDeletesad...
ReplyDeleteand - if you can figure out how to shut up that voice in your brain, will you tell me how? I've got that voice and it's driving me nuts.
So very sorry about the BFN. So sorry, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell, damn, that sucks about the negative. I hate the one-line teasers.
ReplyDeleteGood lord...how do you make those decisions knowing the impact, on someone you vowed to be with always.
ReplyDeleteshit....
ReplyDeleteWell, crap.
ReplyDeleteSilly cow! Always the same, when you want her she's nowhere to be seen, probably down the pub laughing at us!
