All of the decades of emotional abuse that my sister and I have discussed are now coming full circle! Our Mom has put up with this man for going on 60 years, and here is what she got. Out in the country with steps to get in the house, a laundry in the basement, filling a wood stove for heat. She has osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, her vertebrae in her neck are collapsing, her right shoulder is shot, and her left hip, that she has had three replacement surgeries on, probably is fractured, and she is in pain. Dad spends his days worrying about his slum rentals while she struggles to just get along. They can well afford to move to town where she could be in a ranch style home to help her out, but he is being his selfish, self centered, cruel self, and is making her feel guilty for wanting to give up acres that they cannot deal with and care for any more. I, and my sister, and my sister in law and my husband are so angry with him. My Mom is going to end up in a wheel chair soon, and he is off doing what he wants to do. He is a selfish bastard!!!!! I am so angry!
