Snodderly - I have been thinking about you and your father - how is he now? Thank you for your post - I know that MLC is about them, but there are a lot of posts that seem to suggest we have contributed to this.
My kids feel that I [and they] actually kept him going. They saw him as more damaged and vulnerable than I did. They are also MUCH harder on him now than I am. As for his mother - she is beside herself with rage with him. I think I win an award for the angriest MIL on these boards.
Thank you, and thank you all for helping me - I had one of those low points when I felt that I had contributed to what he is going through, by not being a good enough wife.
