Hi Livenow,
I know what you mean by not wanting anything "bad" to happen but this guy is not benefiting this world at all! He is very sick with a rare form of cancer. He had more than 1/2 his liver removed more than 3 years ago (start of W's MLC!) and it has returned. He is undergoing treatment at MD Anderson now and was given a 40% chance of survival. The treatments have worked somewhat but he is very weak. I really believe the reason he wants my W back in his life is he had to help his father when he died of cancer. His wife has a very bad back and hip problem and can't help him. He needs someone to help him when he is really sick and the only family member that is left that would do it is my W. He is that kind of person.

I do worry about when he does die and how my W will take it. I think that depends on if she feels like he loves and respects her before it happens or if he shows his true colors and dies the way he lived. Even if he gets through this bout, he probably won't live too much longer. I have a bad feeling that my W will have a break down when that happens. She had a mini one when he found out the cancer was back!

I can't say she wouldn't have had MLC if he didn't come back in her life but I'm certain he is making the one she is having MUCH worse!
