$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Byron100', 'I') don't see why your brother gets to shirk all responsibility to look after your mother, when you're the one that's taking care of her 24/7/365. Is it really too much to ask him to stay with her one or two weeks out of each year so you can get away from the homestead? If anything, he owes you an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii for all the work and hardship you've put yourself through in the past couple of years in regard to your parents....lol.
My brother has a very sick wife, a job, and sons, Byron. He's struggling up there.
It's possible he may move here if he loses his teaching job, which is looking more and more likely.
Some recent posts have asked, Why get married at all?
Certainly, that question's on my mind.
I want to make one significant, sustained effort to "get it right" before giving up. Then I can face hermithood with a clear conscience.
