[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 109956, member: 439"] Linda - I'm sorry. When we (back in the late 70s) had to put my grandmother in a state run home (long story), my mom and my grandfather visited her at least 3 times a week. My aunt (mom's sister) would hardly visit at all. It wasn't for lack of love, it was because she really couldn't stand seeing my grandmother in that shape. Some people can "handle" when others are sick, others can't. With all of wm's other problems, it doesn't surprise me that he's one that can't. Some people can manage to "pull" themselves above that and still visit, knowing that the person needs them. Others can't. I've seen it with cancer patients, too - people that have no problems visiting, others that just cannot. Try (I know, easier to say than to live) to not take it personal. Or rather - take it as wm saying he's scared, and in order to not be scared, he doesn't want to see you as you are now. [/QUOTE]
