Primo and I debate which would be worse. If Sly dies first, he will feel obligated to move Doris closer to us, which sounds like a nightmare to me. If Doris dies first, Primo will be pretty comfortable ignoring Sly.the gold diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134199198587591427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-73104478004513702732013-02-23T19:09:31.892-08:002013-02-23T19:09:31.892-08:00My father and stepmother are like this, I'm sa...My father and stepmother are like this, I'm sad to say. He rages at her and cuts her down constantly. She prefaces everything with statements like "I know I'm nothing but..." or "I know I'm not intelligent but..." because it's what he has told her for decades. <br /><br />He is 14 years older than her and is now almost 70 and in failing health. She is only mid-fifties and would talk of dying along with him. <br />But I insist on talking about her life as it will be after he's gone, and initially she denied it, but now I think it's working because she's exercising and trying to give up smoking, and seems excited as freedom nears.

Exactly.<br /><br />Suzanne and Maureen, I am amazed that Primo turned out so well. The more I talk about this situation to people, the more I discover similar cases: difficult backgrounds yielding wonderful men. So I guess nurture is not everything.

I, too, am married to a set of in-laws, step children and a bitter, vindictive ex-wife that drive me crazy while making my husband miserable. It is nice to vent about it and get validation from time to time.<br /><br />I look forward to your writing!Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156261709363848370noreply@blogger.com
