I am really surprised at your answer to this poor woman! For a lot of reasons. Your examples were not similar at all.
This poster is only 37 years old--she has mnore than 60 years of life to live and to live it in this way would seem unbearable!
Your parents were MARRIED for a full 20 years longer than she's EVEN BEEN ALIVE! Can't you see the difference?
At the age of approximately 70 (that's twice this original poster's age NOW) your mother fell ill. At 70 years old. Your parents had already lived the bulk of their lives. Married, had children, worked, probably saw their grandchildren born, maybe even graduated high school or college, etc etc. I mean heck, they had a full 4 years POST-RETIREMENT to enjoy themselves before medical issues cropped up.
That's a far cry from this woman's situation. Whereas she has the next 70 years of her life potentially living in a miserable situation (his attitude) your father had AT MOST 30 years of his life left, if that. And at 70 years old he probably wasn't planning on hiking to the top of Machuu Pichu anytime soon. So there would have been less "loss" anyway. Did your writeup include any emotional or physcial abuse wrt your mother & father? I didn't see any. This woman is enduring a lot.
GROW UP and see things for what they are and don't give advice with your eyes shut to the details of the situation.
