[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 142683, member: 3626"] Heather said it all. I've heard of full plates, but yours is so overloaded it's spilling all over the place. Why should you go to community action? Your husband should get his rear in gear and go talk to them. Nicole is the mother of Aubrey, not you -- give her a choice, take care of your child or get out. Plain and simple. Figure out how much of what you are doing for your mother in law you think your husband can do and make him do it. Put a big sign on the front door -- "I just had a heart attack (remember, folks?). I NEED HELP. Clean up after yourself. Get dinner started so that it's ready when I get home. Do the laundry. Arrange your own transportation for now -- ask someone else if you can get rides. Take a bus, walk, ride a bike, pay for a taxi. Whatever, but I CAN'T DO IT!" After you have posted your note, leave -- let them figure out what to do. Do something for you, do something for your mother in law. You take care of you and, as much as possible, your mother in law. [/QUOTE]
