Thanks Judy.....I really don't think I'll have any regrets. Brad and I were not close. He was always so moody and could change his attitude in a second. He's the type that you can be laughing and having a great time and then all of a sudden he's pissed. I was so tired of walking on egg shells around him. We hardly ever spoke until Mom got sick. I just realized the other day that he has been in his house for 15 years and I've been there 3 times. He lives 3 miles from me.

None of the family likes his wife at all. We just tolerated her because of Brad. Well....now I don't have to tolerate either one of them. I'm really not sad about this at all. I just feel like my load has gotten lighter...and that's a good thing.

When your mom leaves the Earth you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did everything you could for her. He on the other hand will be feeling like what you said he is. And he will regret not spending time with her all his breathing days.

You're so right. I'm trying to do the right thing by Mom and myself so there won't be any regrets. Even though it's hard some days.....it's wonderful on others. I'm learning some life lessons and that's always good.

Janet I am happy for you, sometimes in life we cannot please everyone, so we have to please ourselves. Getting help for your mom and getting a repreive is exactly what you need now and then. Enjoy the summer off to!
