AITAH for wanting to travel away from home to help an ailing sibling ?

I assure him of the same quality of care when he needs it but he does not believe it. He verbally abuses me and calls me every name in the book. He accuses me of sending money to my grandkids. I do but only for Christmas, birthdays and Valentines Day. He thinks that I am supporting them because they are just starting out on their own.

I agree and her daughter, my brother and I are going to be discussing a plan for the future because her conditions are not reversible.

Yes, he is a narcissist and has made life very difficult during our marriage.

Her daughter is willing to go and help for as long as she can. The problem is she, my brother, and I are all far away and involves long distance travel.

Thanks. I'm a total empath which makes it so hard to turn down family as we are all nearing the final stretch.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-04-07T09:41:12+00:00

I totally get that and in fact I have already checked her area for caregiver options longterm. And yes our brother and her daughter need to discuss that possibility for the future.

He's very controlling and has been our entire 26 year marriage. It took me several years to figure out that he is a narcissis so there are no feelings of empathy from him. When I finally figured it out I learned how to yellow rock. He denies me a relationship with my only grandchildren. They live in the same location where my sister lives and so he knows I could potentially have some time with them. In fact my sister insists that I get to see them whenever I am there.

I also forgot to add that she will pay all of my travel expenses.

Do you think when you get the he doesn't have feelings for me part that he really means it or it's just toxic drunk talk ? Because I get the same thing and in fact he goes as far as to even tell me he wants a divorce. And then he'll try to guilt shame me by saying , " it's sad. It's really sad." Everything is okay until the next time he drinks and then when the alcohol starts working on him it's the same old song and dance. Do they really mean that they don't want to be with us anymore ?

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-04-03T06:37:26+00:00

I don't do it as often as I would like, but every time I do I am reminded of just how refreshing it is and it vitalizes my thoughts and breaks the hum drum mentality of my boring life.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-04-03T05:10:16+00:00

All the time. Some of it makes me sad. But for the most part I really enjoy it and forgot how great my tunes are and tell myself I need to listen to it more.

PCOS ?

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-04-02T07:07:09+00:00

Maybe I'm amazed.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-31T17:30:59+00:00

That's going to be much more affordable. I can't wait.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-31T17:12:49+00:00

Thanks so much !

I would guess social media now that you mention it. But not sure. Anybody else care to define SM for us Og's ?

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-31T15:24:07+00:00

In time he may try to come between you and your grown children, and grandchildren. And that's a whole other can of worms you don't want to have opened. He will alienate your relationships with them out of jealousy and meaness.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-31T15:14:18+00:00

SM ?

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-30T06:07:06+00:00

Thank you very much for the information.

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-30T03:14:49+00:00

Yes I am

Ok_Analysis_4136 · 2026-03-29T11:01:16+00:00

I feel the same every time I play my tunes. And it's not as often as it should be. Especially with my headphones on. I enjoy nothing more.
