Hubby and I had a long talk. It seems this is his mother's way of saying she is scared and doesn't want us to leave. She was never one to really open up and talk things out, just uses snide comments and remarks. Hubby is used to that. I am more used to a very open family where we all talk things out and work it out together. Hubby knows he wants to leave, but he is worried about his mother. He is also worried about me. This morning is not very good for me, since I just don't know quite how to deal with it, so the waterworks start and I'm too darn old to sit here and cry like a child. Ah well! I know it will get better.
Hubby escaped and went to play racquetball, the fiend. Son is in his room on laptop and daughter just woke up and is laing in my bed playing on her DS. I am biding my time until I have to take MIL to her hair appointment.
Thanks for all the kind words. I know it will get better eventually. I only hope hubby really thinks before making his decision. It really is a "catch 22" situation. She needs us, but we need to get away. She has no one else to help, only us, but she doesn't know how to handle having an extra family living with her.
