My wife of 47 years passed away 16 months ago after living with a disability for many years.
I took care of her until the end and loved her with all my heart. Nine months after her passing, I became involved with another woman my age.
I sent him a text after his outrageous behavior, saying that I would always love him, but until he accepts the fact that I have a new lady in my life, I no longer consider him my son. Maybe I overreacted. I haven’t heard from him or seen my grandkids in two months. I have been friendly with “Blair” for 20 years. During this time, I’ve taken her to doctors’ appointments and made dinner for her and her family after her mother and stepfather died. When I went on vacation with my daughter, Blair said she’d love to come along but didn’t have the money, so I paid for her. On another occasion, Blair insisted on coming to my home with her adult kids to use my pool, even though I asked her not to because my son was home with pneumonia.
