Hey Claire,

All I can say is... hang in there. You're doing the best you can. Sorry to hear about your H's health problems and H's dad being in the hospital. My H's dad passed away less than a year after we were married and died with a lot of regrets—mostly about the way he handled things with his family. My H's brother and sister were barely speaking to him at the end and I was helping to take him to his doctor's appointments, where he would talk about what a wonderful woman H's mother was (whom he D when H was 1). People sometimes say H will regret this like his dad did, but that's not much comfort. I just want to keep my family together now and not have my kids come from a broken home.
