Mojo's ex gets raked over the coals for not giving her a hug when her dad died (if I remember the circumstances correctly) but Brian's wife gets a pass for staying with her post-op mother while he was quite legitimately concerned for his life, in and out of the hospital and having surgery. That's very instructive.
Hey, give credit where credit's due. My ex also left me alone at the hospital when I had to have an appendectomy while 6 mos. pregnant and didn't wake up to answer the phone when I called. So I think he should win the PAL award for simultaneously abandoning two primary family members in hospitalized distress. Plus, there wasn't even another ill person involved, except for the constant suffering life itself brought upon my 2bx himself rendering him in permanent invalid status. Of course, I am tough and they gave me lots of morphine so it was all fine. Also, my life is good now and his sucks so rules of karma apply.
