And with the ups come the downs. My mother in law is in the hospital for some made up sickness that she is exploiting in order to bring as much attention to herself as possible and deny anyone any piece. And my wife being the good daughter that she is has been by her side the whole time. I miss my wife and knowing that she's being lied to and manipulated so easily is driving me crazy. Now I'm pissed off and depressed because my wife is not here. If she was taking care of someone who is actually sick I would be happy for her and her support of her mother, but knowing that woman the way I do it just infuriates me and that just drops the good mood I've had the last day or so into the dumps. This is part of the reason I avoid most human contact. People like my mother in law are the worst to deal with on a daily basis and it seems these wrecking machins are growing in number.
