SG, what if you were in Brian's shoes rather than in his W's shoes? If you'd been hospitalized twice and had surgery and many dicey nights without your H, who was caring for his seriously ill mother instead, how would you be with that?
Would you understand, because your H's siblings had been more reluctant to tend to his mom than he was? Or perhaps it's really not that huge an issue to you if your H is or isn't with you while you'd be going thru that type of ordeal?
Depends. I'd very much want him by my side but I'm a pragmatist at heart and would defer to a critically ill parent if I was less critically ill and/or already had someone with me and they didn't.
I don't know enough about Brian's wife's sitch. Maybe the other siblings are flakes and not to be trusted with her mom's care. Or maybe it would have been easy to be relieved and rush to his side, and she was just being selfish. Which sounds less likely because she was there for him in the beginning. I simply don't have enough information to make an informed judgment.
