Glad to hear it. Family issues are the worst, you can walk away from friends when there's a problem, not so easy with family.

Gary, step back, take a few deep breaths. Tomorrow is always a new day.
I know first hand, the perils of a mother who loves to put strains on our marriage. Dave

Sorry to hear this Gary. Guess you need to ask yourself, is your marriage and wife worth fighting for? No offense to women but based on first hand experience they tend to handle stressful situations differently than men. When they're angry and upset they want to punish somebody for it. Doesn't matter who or if they have anything to do with it, somebody needs to be punished. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it happens and often it's the person closest to them because they're available.
I mentioned before we took care of Lynda's parents for over 10 years. 10 years of watching her mom slowly die, in and out of the hospital so many times I lost count. I took some abuse for it but Lynda realized I was the only one that was going to help her through it. All these years later she is willing to help with my mom any way she can because she knows I was always there for her and her parents. Try to sit down, calmly, and talk to Maureen. Make her aware of what she's doing to you and your marriage. Let her know that it can't continue or the marriage won't survive. |

Gary, I have been where you are at and it may get worse before it gets better .BUT it will get better ,she is very stressed .Maureen needs your support now more than ever, as hard as it will be on you. She needs to let it out and you are her only true support .Just let her give it to you and try and understand that she loves you ,she is just hurting inside. Your outlaws(in-laws) sound just like mine .

Gary,
Here goes a womans opinion. I think from reading your posts for the last few months, family is important to you. So.... Most of these guys were right in alot of the things that they said. My suggestions, First thing she needs to know how much you love her and will be there for her without you making too big of a deal out of it, lay a card on her pillow for her to find when she is alone. Second, can you do something for her mother? Send flowers to the house with just a simple card, have her yard taken care of for her. Just something to show your wife that you care. Your wife is so stressed right now and she doesn't want to show any weakness, even to you. She is a woman and wants to be strong for everyone. Good luck to you, please keep us informed. Nancy

She is better today after having it out with her family,and coming to grips knowing the end is near for her mom. We took a little cruise in the Chevelle tonight and stopped at the DQ.That made her feel better.

It's the little things that mean the most to her right now. Glad you had some quality time with her tonight.
