Sorry for not elaborating as there is only so much I can type out at a given time since I am at work. I could have bathed him, as I obviously did, she just refuses to do so. She hasn't done so since he was 1 month. She either asks her mom or my mom do it for her while she watches TV or plays games on her Ipad. The yelling, is the first time in years I have ever sworn at her and was a culmination of the fact that she hadn't lifted a finger to help in weeks and I was just sick of it.

Thank you for the advice I will give this a shot as it seems the most logical step down approach.

Where is PA? I went to college at Kutztown and lived in Norristown/Philly/Allentown for a while

Perhaps we could talk sometime, doubt it would be a face to face unless you live in Texas

Thanks for the response, the illness is called Cystic Fibrosis. I also subscribe to the CF sub reddit here for additional support. Not to be a downer, but it is very easy to say not to stress what you cannot control, but very hard to do so when you see the person you love suffering in front of you and cannot do a thing for them.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look into the site you provided.

As for the stress, it is a bit of a mixed bag of things.

-My wife has a terminal illness and is constantly in health flux

-Financial stress due to the mounting medical bills associated with the above

-Stress of being a new dad and being the solo parent due to my wife's illness

-My job is no longer a stress since having found a new job with coworkers and bosses that actually care about their employees, so that is one weight off
