Teri, we all suffer in different ways, but you relieved me of my feeling of obligation. I have never had any time for myself and I guess I feel a bit guilty having it now.
Yes, his children, who will inherit his fortune, should take care of him later on. Right now, I am enjoying happy times with him and he has his own house. God bless each of you who so kindly wrote to me, in my distress.

Hi @maryflorida, Does he ever contemplate going into an assisted living facility where he wouldn't be alone all the time, or be so dependent on the whims of his son? Maybe that's an option that would take some of the pressure off you for his support. It sounds like Bernie is still capable of making decisions. He asked you to marry him, afterall.
