> I just want them to appreciate me 

this is the key....appreciation...and that doesnt mean bowing down and saying
thank you a million times...its just taking the time to admit that what has
been done was appreciated....i would do it all over again because my mother and
i were very close...i still miss her and its been 12 years...and this may seem
cruel but i put a stop to taking care of my mil....she is the type of person
who doesnt think about what your needs are...just hers....she was a mean woman
when i met my husband and now shes a mean OLD woman...my hubby is the middle
child....a sister older and a sister younger....they all moved out of town and
left me here to contend with her....i did it for many years...until i finally
got fed up and said no more...i actually dont think its my place to take care
of her...it is her daughters' place....i know it sounds awful but you have to
set limits because if you dont you will go crazy trying to take care of
everyone...where are these people when you need taken care of....always
busy....do i sound cynical lol....well after 39 years of marriage i have earned
my cynicism lol....my next rant in a couple of days will be about
teenagers....hold on to your hats hahahaha....betts
