Jeez, this is depressing. I actually read the first the pages. And ordered a third lunchtime margarita....
My mom was "one of those"... I got a hardship discharge out of the navy when I was 20 to take care of her, she was unable to do it herself even then....
I married an angel at 30, with the understanding that Mom was part of the package.
Eventaully mom was in an assisted living facility, and then she died of a heart attach last year.
Now #1 son has impregnated his g/f while #3 son is still in high school....
And what was "when we ship #3 off to college we can take off too!
has become (as of yesterday) "you want to get to know your grandchild don't you"?
I am 56.
I am active and healthy.
Drink a bit more than the DW would like, but exercise a heck of a lot more than she does to....
I WILL enjoy my future years....
GO!
