My dh has a terminally ill father who is currently in hospital after a fall. His mum is quite demanding and expects dh to visit his dad for several hours every day which is fair enough but she dictates when she wants him to go and I'm often left with our dd (3) being badly behaved because she misses her dad. I'm behind on my college course because I don't get a chance to do it and I rarely get to visit my own parents but I accept that his father must come first so I look after dd most of the time.
My dh is exhausted and stressed and he's now started taking it out on me. Nothing serious but constant sniping and grumbling and he loses his temper with me if I ask to spend any time with him. I'm so lonely and fed up - we used to be so happy before his father got ill now it's like he is a million miles away and he can't bear me. Has anyone else been through anything similar?
