DEAR ABBY: I’m 58 and five years into my second marriage. We lived together a little over a year before getting married. I spent seven years as a caregiver for my parents before marrying my current husband.
We moved to Kentucky from Florida because his mom needed us close, but since the move, he has become someone I hardly know. We finally got his severe depression under control, but he has become petty and vindictive. He’s kind of a bully. He watches nothing but conspiracy theory videos on YouTube. I don’t know what to do. He wasn’t that way when we dated.
I was planning on leaving in a couple of years, but it has gotten a little better since he’s on the right meds. I need to rebuild my credit after the last few years and save money. I’m putting most of my paycheck into a separate account. But it is really hard to move past these last few horrible years. He expects me to take care of his mom, who abandoned him as a child. I don’t want to. I really dislike her. Am I wrong to still be thinking of leaving? — STUCK NOWHERE
