Hi scaredsilly - the pa-in-the-house was a difficult situation but one that couldn't be avoided. He and my W ran the fruit export company from home. Neither seemed to have an off switch
My feelings? Option 5 - W was married to work (no longer - she's sad that she's been a long term unemployed) - I should have learned to twiddle my thumbs?
How to communicate my feelings? That's very difficult for me to think of a way that doesn't smack of "look at me" at the moment. It's something I'll think about.
Thanks for the reply. Now just got to figure out how to delay this L stuff just to get breathing space. HA! W would say "more time?" to that line.
