[QUOTE="Wish, post: 737277, member: 23140"] Hi Swot. It's not fair that this is becoming your burden in any way when you have zero control over the situation. If you could help, you would and you have tried to help even though your help was shot down by ex. Your children need to understand that. Sometimes I wonder if when elderly people get really ill, that sometimes they become difficult for attention or to "get back" at their loved ones for some reason. Oh do I have a story about my great Aunt. I called her Leonidas, the Greek warrior King of Sparta, for all the difficulty (understatement of the century) she gave to my Uncle (her son) and my Aunt who are very good people by the way. I think a book could be written about that whole ordeal which lasted 20 years [I][B][U]at least.[/U][/B][/I] She passed at 95 years old. God rest her soul. However, I really don't know what section said book would be in, Comedy or Horror. Lol. Before she started going down hill, she really was a good Aunt and person and I'm not just saying that. She was a beautiful person and soul and appreciated her a lot for the things she made me and my daughter. I will always remember her that way instead of the last 20 years of her life. Anyway, I digress. I think talk to your son about it this morning but let him know with kindess that this is the last time you can speak so in depth about this issue because you have no control over it. The only last piece of advice I would offer to him and your daughter is this: I think you said that your son and daughter are kind of at odds on how they went to address the issue with their father. I would tell them it would be in their best benefit if they could work together and compromise during this situation with their father. Last thing anyone needs is for them to develop hard feelings against each over this. Weird. I don't know how I feel about that. Anyway, those are my two cents. Try not to stress about this too much.
