Well, the situation worsens. Not long after we moved hed Dad is diagnosed with lung cancer and now today, brain cancer. Pert of me feels really bad for her Dad (even though he and I haven't spoken for over a year due to some other spat). I don't wish cancer on anybody. The other part of me is angry though because we used to live righ up the street and could make ourselves available whenever they needed us, which they really do now because her Mom has early stages of dementia, which continually worsens. Now it's a 50 mile trek across town to get to them. My problem with my wife is she deals strictly in emotion and does not seem to look at things from any kind of logical perspective. In consequence she continues to make bad decisions and drags me down the hole with her. I told her time and again that while I understand her anxiety about having her parents so close, that there would come a time when we'd be thankful they were as close as they were. Well, that time has arrived. It i really a stretch for me to act sympathetic toward her when she has created this difficult situation herself.
