Your points are valid and reasoned. But here’s what came to mind when I read your post.

You said you held your husband in your arms when he cried. You were there for him when he needed you. Sometimes in life it truly IS the little things.

You may be right to have suspicions about the vehicle work. But you may be wrong. It may work fine once it’s done.

All I know is that when you’re beaten up and down, it is your own brain that is your worst enemy. It tells you only the bad stuff and doing that is a means of coping. If you’re prepared for the worst, you can deal with it. That’s why our brains do that to us. But the worst doesn’t always happen.

How old are you? Are you close to being able to get Social Security at least? If I missed that somewhere in the other thread, please forgive me. I don’t remember seeing it.
