"We" get her father for a month a year. I'm not going to do it again.

So this year she rented an Airbnb in Mississippi right on the border to New Orleans. So she's gone for a month with the old man. It took 2 days until she called screaming that she can't take him anymore. He insists on going through bills. And demanding to know why a given appointment cost a given amount. The same bill he went through an hour ago and will be going through an hour from now. She's a professional geriatric nurse who deals with dementia patients every shift. But she could walk away from them. She can't walk away from him.

So I got a month of playing alone at home. I'll be fine. My hobbies keep me busy. Every time b left for a vacation with the kids I announced to her as she left the door: Yay! Time for hookers and cocaine! I didn't bother when m left. She would know I was lying. My blood pressure can't take either.
