I wrote about this before but perhaps was not frank enough. Our eight year old grandson has leukemia and we are doing about 70 percent of the care, while also spending a lot of time watching his younger brother. Since marrying 10 years ago she went off her meds, has gained an enormous amount of weight (size two to size 18) and she sleeps a LOT. She also constantly talks of how exhausted she is. This started before grandson's illness and we are considering requiring her to get help at this point, though we would never threaten estrangement. We have basically surrendered our lives to her young family. Her husband is very defensive on her behalf but he is working full time and doing more time at hospital than she does (she is a stay at home mom). The marriage seems pretty solid but I don't think this can play out forever.
Next week we are taking grandson to out of state rehab that will last for a month. Mom staying home.
