[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 542755, member: 9175"] Thanks to both of you. Your support means the world to me (and you too, Nancy ...who happened to be texting me in the middle of this!). I went to a Families Anonymous meeting last night .... boy was that ever good timing. The work around the house thing was in place when she lived with me before and was unemployed. It does work in that it keeps her busy, provides much-needed structure and helps me with this big house and yard ... BUT it is absolutely exhausting for me. I will say this in her favor...after I listened, employing the famous bobble-head technique - to her diabribe and offered the few words about going through proper HR channels, she said "I don't expect you to validate my reasons. I know you don't agree.". Hey - it's something. it's a glimmer of self-awareness and I will take every scrap tossed my way. In the meantime (I think Marilyn Monroe said this in Some Like it Hot) Hang on. We're in for a bumpy ride.... Dash [/QUOTE]
