I know you feel responsible to care the man you married, even as he's become disabled, angry, and selfish.

I was charmed when my grandfather started 'seeing' me as his wife, my grandmother, at the age she was when they started dating. was not so charmed at the anger and refusal to be redirected or comforted in any way that went along with it. [I was his full time daytime caregiver for a year.] And this is nothing compared to you...<br /><br />I'm so sorry Tashi. It's so bitter and so harsh. This is not how it was meant to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946941901164289620noreply@blogger.com
