Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello all, This is not LBD related, but my life is in turmoil right now, and I thought someone here might have some thoughts or experiences. I will start by saying that my father-in-law died on Oct. 10, 2008 and my mom on Nov. 15, 2008. I have had several family members and close friends die, but this is the first significant loss my husband has experienced. He is the oldest of 4...2 brothers and 1 sister, and the only one who has lived in the same town as his parents his whole life. We have always been very involved in his parent's lives, and them in ours, especially in the years his father was ill. I feel that the responsibility, worry and concern for his elderly mother, who now lives alone in a very large house is normal, but this is where my concern comes in. My husband is beginning to act like his father. I don't mean taking on his father's responsibilities, I mean taking on his personality. Even though his father was a good man and we all loved him dearly, we did realize that he was a handful, especially in his old age....stubborn, impatient, ornery, fretful, demanding and out spoken. My husbands personality is totally different, but since his father's death, he has taken on all those traits. I miss my husband. Any thoughts? Thank you and best wishes to all.
