I (34 male) have been taking care of my mom since I found out of her heart cancer. For me I’ve always put my family first before anything. I have to work two jobs in order to support my mom’s treatment, my dad whos partially deaf, my wife (36 female), and my daughter. A week ago, my wife told me that she can’t deal with my mother anymore and that she’s tired of taking care of her. she then told me to either choose her or my mom. i only ask that my wife looks after my mom while I’m gone from the house at work. When I come back then I handle all of my mom’s things. So when I heard that she was tired of helping I told her that I can’t just abandon my bedridden mother. So I told her to leave and that I couldn’t bring myself to just leave her like this. Also my mom isn’t one of those mother in laws that are mean and rude to their daughter in laws. She’s a very sweet and quiet lady. Right now my daughter and wife are at my mother in laws house. I feel bad but at the same time I’m mad at her for not helping me in my times of distress. AITA?
