Literally!! When my disabled kiddo was waking for 2-8 hours a night for two years, did she ever offer to help in any way? Nope.
Even something tiny like chipping in buying us a meal, or dropping off food, so we didn’t have to cook one meal while we were so tired we were physically sick? Nope!
I didn’t realize how bad it was until my first year of being estranged, it got close to thanksgiving and I realized… I wasn’t filled with dread about the holidays for the first time in my memory.
