I would always blame the brain tumor for that. A close friend told me once, he is angry in general for just being sick. I always turned the other cheek, and was very forgiving. You are doing the right thing. Don't throw in the towel yet...When all is said and done, you will be able to look in the mirror and know you were a great daughter, to a really sick man...my thoughts are with you in this difficult time...Beth |

Thanks so much, Beth. Just know ing someone else is even listening to me is somehow heartening. It is very difficult to hear mean and cruel things and turn the other cheek. It is also hard to feel that you are doing all you can but yet it is not enough. I suppose these have been reccuring themes in our relationship, but I had hoped that this horrible disease and facing his own mortality would perhaps change his perspective. In the meantime, my marriage suffers as my husband has been so supportive of me all along and to hear these things about him as hurt him as well, plus he does not like to see me so upset. Thanks for listening.
