I absolutely understand that and I endorse it. It's a beautiful thing. He's in a difficult spot.

What I resent is that he is rude to me.


Lill,
Jumping in a little late here and throwing my 2 cents in {Oh sh!t, those were Canadian coins..better hold onto those until I check the exchange rate } I'm not offering up any excuses for the bf to be rude and I see nothing in your convo's that would lead me to believe you did anything wrong. A few years back, FIL was recovering from a stroke then into a nursing home, MIL had fell and broke her hip..so Miss IC and the girls went down for a month or so to help out...or was it Miss IC and 1 girl with the other not born yet ?? {I know, I know, I've heard it before..."hope your d!ck is longer than your memory" ha ha...sit down !} Ok, now where was I before I was so rudely interupted? Oh yea, Miss IC and our 6 daughters went down to MIL's to help out. I think she felt like she was being pulled in all directions similar to Lill's bf. It seemed like every phone conversation we had was very similar to Lill's...a lot of down right rude comments from Miss IC {sorry Miss IC..but you were a b!tch...I'll be posting for awhile with a black eye } Usually my typical response to her rudeness would be... "I love you too." Sometimes it would make her realize what she was doing...other times it would get me a loud click (slam !) and then a dial tone

Ok, I've pretty much forgotten the whole damn point of my story..goes back to that memory thing Lill, if this is somewhat of an isolated thing with the mom (isolated as in since mom's health really starting to deteriorate) I would be half tempted to cut him some slack. I would let it be known that while you can understand it, you still don't appreciate it. Put the ball back in his court and see what he does with it.
