Soap Opera or a Talk Show

Sometimes I think that my life could very well be on a soap opera or a talk show. Long story short, Dylan's Mom (My MIL) discovered (while my FIL) is in the hospital that he has been lying to her for 29 years of marriage. He was hiding cash and racking up bills. He even came to us in 2003 asking for money stating it was for RRSP's but now we found out that he had a different sort of problem...like 3 different chequeing accounts and several outstanding bills (Visas and Loans-yes that's plural as in more that one or two. I can't believe that he would do this to his wife! He even stated that he may need to work not telling her that he had problems as in not giving her the exact amount on his cheques and racking up the bills he had sent to another location (his handicapped brothers house). Dylan is feeling betrayed and hurt and I don't blame him. Dylan comments frequent that Mom should leave Dad but she doesn't have anything to her name...the house is even in his name only with 2 advances on it. Dylan's mom approached him in the hospital yesterday and she asked him if he believed that he was in a happy marriage for 29 years. He said no and had no expression the whole time they were talking. No crying, no apologies no nothing. I'm devastated... what kind of example is that for his children?

Went to the health unit the scale I use normally (except for the last entry) and I was 210.5 lbs yesterday (April 27).
