I have no kids and my brothers are not exactly what one would call close family members.
Feb 2006...my 87 yr old mom came to live with myself and (common law)hubby of 23 yrs.
Legally blind ,deaf in one ear, but a doll. Hubby insisted, he adored her, I worked part time and could care for her.
Feb 2006 to Aug 2006... Mother was a LOT of work, still adorable but very old and neeeding more than I could give her, hubby became very... errrrmmm... quiet. I passed it off as adjusting to mom living with us.
Sept 2006... I asked my hubby after dinner if he would like dessert and he said "no, I want out of this relationship" I never did ask if he wanted ice cream with it. He moved out Oct 1st.
Oct 2006... I had to find a "home" for my mom, against her wishes, beg my employer for full time and do alot of legal stuff.
Dec 2006...ex moved to another city to be with his internet lover, leaving me with the yard to take care of (1 acre) whole house full of 23 yrs of junk to get rid of and the sale of the property.
Needless to say I was a mess.
I found this place...
Thankfully
2007 is another story
June...Sold the house
July...Bought a new place something with no steps so my mom could visit.
Aug,Sept ..Just getting organized, trying to re-adjust to single life
Oct... mom gets sick.. cancer..goes to hospital
Nov..my mom dies
Bummer through the holidays, but I have great friends.
