Default Maybe I overdid it, but....
...I just don't know. My intent was to shock him enough to make him step back and look at things now, while she had time to build a life with or without him, rather than folding up at a later stage when a threshold had been crossed. My sincere apologies for upsetting you. -Rick

I've had the pleasure of contact with you before, where you've really helped me with my husband's diagnosis, but the "it is much worse than dying" comment has made me plummet yet again to the depths of despair.
