And we keep moving on.

I haven’t been on for a while. Hope you all are doing good.

Covid hit my family hard

I know this site isn’t about Covid but my MLC’r ex-wife has proven to me that there is no hope for her because of it.

My parents in their 80’s end of march came down with Covid. First my mom thought it was her seasonal allergies. As days progressed my dad fell ill as well. Myself and my brother do from time to time drop in on them. Bringing them food etc.
Always distancing and wearing a mask.

My parents are autonomous. Very healthy, well as healthy as an 80+ year old can be. This virus hit them hard. It was the UK variant . A very high level of infection

I brought my mom to get tested and was feeling off as well with a weird feeling in my throat that day. well I got tested too.

Both results positive for Covid.

Rush my parents to the hospital with myself as well. Asked my brother to go get tested.

My parents were put into the ICU. I was kept in emergency for 24hrs and sent home to self-isolate and rest. My parents were doing fine for the first 3 days then it all went south. Both had to be put in comas and on ventilators. 4 days after they were gone. Passed away 3 minutes from each other.

My brother who tested positive as well. Was home until he got very ill and since I had Covid as well I brought him to the hospital. He was in the ICU for 3 days. Oxygen support and multiple drugs to help him fight it.

The stress of being home , sick, isolated, losing my parents in one sweep and the thought of maybe losing my brother made me sicker. I was in and out of Covid clinics dealing with heart rates over 160 while laying down, fevers, pains, low oxygen and extreme fatigue. My family here at home did great. Avoided me and dropped food and water at my door. Luckily I have an joining bathroom so Isolation was 100% . they were all tested and all negative.

21 days of h*ll for me. How I managed to get up to get food, no apetite, lost 10 pounds and handle it all is beyond me.

The turnaround for me was when my brother was released from the hospital. 7 days he was there. Now recovering nicely.

It’s been 5 weeks now. I am doing much better. Slowly getting back to work. Coping with the loss of my parents who for sure had several good years left of enjoying life stolen from them.

My girls were so lucky having them in their lives. The trips we did with them each year and seeing them every 2 weekends before Covid hit was so amazing.

I’m comforted that my parents are together and one didn’t survive without the other. They celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary the day before they died in the ICU. Always together in life and now in death.

Now for my Ex-Wife. I heard she was aware of all this . Also my D18 who has reached out to her updated her on the passing of my parents.

D18 got no comment, no sorrow , no condolences from her MLC mother.
I got nothing either.

It just shows me that she is nowhere close to the person I once knew. She is now to me nothing. A faded memory.

My D’s have also expressed their hatred in the coldness of their birthmother . That is all they see her as now.


Sorry for the long and sad post. As you see even Covid and the loss of people that supporter her for 20 years means nothing to a lost soul to MLC.

Take care everyone. Stay safe and hopefully get vaccinated.
