I don’t know what to do.
My husband is terminally ill at home.
His adult son, who lives nearby, doesn’t call, visit or care for his father in any way. There’s no quarrel between father and son.
He didn’t visit on his birthday last month, or on Father’s Day. There wasn’t even a card! He doesn’t return my husband’s phone calls.
The situation might be explained by the son’s wife, a former stripper, who has said that she never loved the son, but was willing to marry him for the potential financial windfall when my husband eventually passes away. There are several witnesses to this. Maybe she doesn’t want to be involved with anything as inconvenient as a sick old man.
Although the son spinelessly accepts these horrific comments from his wife, he’s a pretty nice guy who genuinely wanted a homelife, but I don’t think he’s acting as a good son should.
I have tried everything to encourage the son to contact us, but he refuses to acknowledge my many calls.
What should I do?
