  MTR...perhaps she is burnt da heck out because deadbeat hubby isnt pullng his weight yet expects her to function as mom to him and all their children as well. I feel for her, as she feels trapped by this bozo. Easy for all of us to judge, but not many of us have walked in those shoes of just barely keeping one's head above water and living to serve others without time or money (and feeling guilty or in her case, now resentful) re having no "Me time". I am a caregiver (began at age 35 when my spouse was disabled), and can understand this woman's angst. At least, however, my spouse isnt purposefully doing nothing to help the family stay afloat/get ahead.

  In December of 2007 we sold our house and all of its contence. Packed up our personal belonging and moved into a 35 foot Motor Home. We have been planing this dream for over 10 years. Our Goal is to stay at least a month in each state. We plan to make it to Hawaii also. There is no better way to experience what this country has to offer than driving the open road . You meet wonderful people and see all the things this country has to offer.

  We downsized from two full households to one when we married, and then again from a sticks-and-brick home to our 300 square foot bus. The process of getting rid of most of our stuff was very liberating, and allowed us to live our dream. We now live full-time in our bus with our dog, 2 cats, and 4 fish. We've been traveling the US and Mexico for almost 4 years, seeing and documenting so many amazing new things. And yet, every night, we sleep in our own bed in the comfort of our own home..
  
  It is a fantastic life, free of stuff and competition.
