I am home. Thank you all for your comments and prayers.
I do want to tell you that a neighbor of my father-in-law felt that it was her duty to print out the post from the prayer blog for my mom, and give it to my father in law. This person let Satan in to her heart, and made a bad situation worse.
Maybe I shouldn't have posted it, but that's my own cross to bear.
You know I live a pretty much insulated in my own head kind of existence, and I forget that not everyone in the world is a realist the way I am. To put it plainly I am a pretty blunt individual.
EVERY SINGLE WORD I WROTE WAS THE GOSPEL TRUTH. However, my in-laws live in DENIAL, my f-i-l gets NO TREATMENT or attends no meetings to help him be sober.
When I think of the crap that my m-i-l has put up with from that bastard for nearly fifty years, it makes me sick, ( I would have smacked him in head with an iron skillet 49 years ago). He bullies her unmercifully, but as his punishment he has to wait on her hand and foot. They truly deserve each other in every way.
All I can do is pray for these sad, pathetic people.
What galls me the most, is that they felt they needed a a break from taking care of Paddy.
They have only been watching him for about three weeks.
I have been taking care of my son EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE HE WAS BORN-2035 to be exact. Have I had a break? UM NO!
Does my mom get a break from cancer? UM that would be NO.
These selfish and self-absorbed bastards are hurting themselves. If you knew how much my husband and I do for them, financially and otherwise, you would know why this is so upsetting.

You know my own maternal grandmother died from breast cancer 30 years ago.
It was not a quick death, she suffered and had treatments for about five years before the end came.
My mother, her only surviving child took care of her, and was with her for all of the treatments.
You know during that time, mother was divorced from my dad, but that didn't matter, all she had to do was pick up the phone and call her former in-laws and they were more than happy to be able to take care of me. But that is the difference between my in-laws and my grandparents.
Granny and Papaw had so little, but you know they were filled with the love of God and were always happy to share everything they had. My in-laws not so much!

Please just pray for my mom to be healed, and for me to have the strength to deal with all of this.

I haven't been around for a while, so I'm getting caught up. Heather, I'll be praying for you and your family.

I know that you will make it through this. But your in-laws? Wow. I think they have permanently screwed their relationship with you and Paddy. Because someday? When Paddy is older? He'll realize what a beautiful mom you are and what ugly people they are.

So sad. You'll make it. Promise.

So sorry to hear all this. Family troubles are the worst.

Don't let them get you down.

Sympathetic MOO!
