I'm sure you didn't plan on the mother in law passing,but neither did anyone else. Life happens. It's OK to vent but don't dwell on things
don't let the F.I.L keep you from enjoying your life.

That all sounds very nice, but there is a huge difference between a hand up, and a hand out. At this point in time it's turning into a hand out.
If you really loved your children would you burden them with your needs, or would you allow them to find their own way in life and take care of yourself. That too is family.
