Oh my. I didn't mean to make you CRY! But, sometimes a good cry is EXACTLY what a person needs, isn't it? I probably live too far away to give those kids of yours a good kick in the pants but if I lived closer . . . and you needed me to . . . I would.
"What about me?" . . . Exactly . . . .
And here's another one of my attempts to make you giggle, if even for a little bit . . . .
When I was in the hospital, not too awfully long ago . . . having one of my three foot surgeries . . . my husband was sitting across from me in one of those little rooms before they take you in. You know the kind, I'm sure. Well, anyways . . . after the nurse hooked me up to my IV . . . and my husband was sitting there in THE chair, across from my bedside . . . . I couldn't get my pillow behind my head propped up properly. He was just sitting there, watching me try to adjust it . . . just WATCHING . . . never even attempting to help until I asked him. Part of this, I realize, is a gender thing . . . but part of it, also, should be a "soulmate" thing, don't you think? Helping out, when you can, to help the other, without having them having to ask? That's what, at least I thought, was a two-way street; but, I've since learned that when the tables turn, if /when they do . . . I will be completely on my own. Honestly! A friggin fluffing of a pillow???? Really????
So, yeah . . . when the shoe is on the other foot . . . . let's just say we're "BAREFOOT".

The crying was good crying, as in being heard.
Boy I sure wish you were around here to kick his middle daughter's butt, and his useless son too. The middle one lives 5 miles away and he never sees or hears from her UNTIL she wants something, like one of our lawnmowers, for one of her sons. Then she is all over him until she gets what she wants and disappears again.
I agree with you totally about the pillow incident you described. YES, he should have helped you. Like you, I know I am on my own even now because even when and if he is having a good day he doesn't like to make decisions. The weight of all that gets oh so heavy.
