Hi Jake23 welcome to the forum and sorry to hera about how things are for you its a challenging time for you.
Its always difficult when there are children from a previous marraige, how do you get on with them at other times, is it good, or not?What kind of decisions is she trying to make for him?
Can you have chat with her and ask her to discuss any changes with you as these will likely impact on you as well or would that create more angst than you need right now?
She brought her papa a bottle of vodka last weekend and left it with him.I work weekends .when I came home from work he had fell .Jim's mobility is poor.When I spoke to her about it she said it is about keeping her papa happy.Tryed to explain to her the dangers she is not listening. I am now the bad one.Told McMillan nurse when she came out and she said it was irisponsible and dangerous Husband has 3 brain tumors and does not know what he is doing x
