I can totally relate! Now, the difference with my H is that he now has NO relationship with his parents whatsoever. They are divorced. Doesn't talk to his dad and his mom is not even interested in her grandkids. It's sad. It's like, once H became "no use" to her daily life (living so far away) she just didn't have any interest.
But, I can relate with both of you. My H thinks as long as he is a good provider that he is being responsible and "adult" and it just isn't so. Emotionally, he's a child and doesn't even see it! It's like with the college thing: he's "doing his job" by paying for it but doesn't see the need to move his daughter in to her first apartment! Don't get it.
