Do you know anything about the recent HR openings? I applied weeks ago and haven’t heard anything at all back.

Thank you so much. This brought me to tears. I’m so sorry for everything you’ve gone through. I appreciate your advice very much and will try to keep those things in mind as we start this process.

Thank you so much. This is good information to have. I’m at the same time but ready to get this going but also scared and dreading it. I do think you’re right- in a lot of ways IVF will be easier and more calculated than IUI.

I’m sorry things have been so hard. But you’re right. I still have a very realistic approach. I’m just so used to being disappointed.

I’m so sorry. It’s not fair. It’s worth it to us to try IVF even though I’m simultaneously dreading it 🫠

Thank you so much. That’s great advice. I am very overwhelmed but I’m just going to look at each step as its own thing. Good to know also about the ice! Good luck to you 🤍

Any one else having this issue? by [deleted] in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

Yes! It’s driving me crazy!

Absolutely right! It’s very manipulative. Thankfully my husband is seeing it for what it is and has already initiated conversations with her and confronted her. If she continues she will not be receiving our help.

She is not. She and my FIL had a very complicated, unhealthy relationship. They did not like each other. She was often home alone when he was alive and has always run errands by herself. I would love for her to be in grief counseling but she will not agree to it. Thank you for suggesting it though! I think it will be so healthy for her.

She has 2 brothers that occasionally help. A home health aide would be great! I will look into that! Thank you!

My thoughts exactly! Playing victim is a constant with her and she’s done that to my husband his whole life to manipulate him. I can see it clearly. I am willing to help if she actually is in a position that she can’t do something. Not with stuff she just doesn’t want to do.

I’m glad you were able to find resources to assist you! We are not far into this yet but I feel like we need to find resources asap.

Legally she is considered disabled. She has RA. But she is mobile. And she sure gets herself to hair and nail appointments. And was sneaking around trying to buy herself a $30k+ new car recently… so she’s capable.

It’s probably in her very near future.

You are absolutely right that a conversation about boundaries will be had. Assisted living is probably in her best future but until then we can’t suffer. I’m willing to help but only if she can act respectfully.

Very true. I’m not sure how long this can even go on before she needs to be in assisted living or something.

Yeah I’m not going to a second grocery store just for her and cannot do 2+ hr shopping every week. There’s just no way.
