Sorry for what you're going through, Nero.

I am in the same boat with my mother, although she is still alive.

I am her executor and have been her primary care-giver for the last eight years. My brother has not seen her in TEN years, and my sister does the bare minimum when I twist her arm.

No doubt my brother will make the trip when the will is read...hahaha. Would be funny if it weren't true.

My mother insists on splitting everything equally between the three of us, even though H and I have spent thousands over the years for her care and for my ongoing visits.

Whatever. It's her money, she can do as she pleases.

As for your H. Well, maybe he'll wake up and smell that coffee you're making!
But I wouldn't count on it.

I am really starting to think that the majority of us might be better off than to stick around for however long for these people who are treating us like "pooh".
(And not like Winnie the Pooh, either!)

I don't recall the dates of your BD and all. Seems a lot of people have removed their signatures from their posts. I wish they'd leave them in because I have a hard time keeping everyone straight!

But I'm not hanging in forever. I am holding out hope that things might turn around before the last shovelful of dirt falls on the casket of my M.

I don't want to pack, move... and then have to move back again. So I'm waiting until the bitter end. Once I'm gone, I'm gone. Too much work to do otherwise and life is short.

Better to keep it sweet.
