You are such a kind-hearted soul. It is so hard getting old from your FIL's perspective, getting sick and then denying the help your loved ones want to provide. I think we get more stubborn as we age. It's such a difficult situation.
It's good that you are able to think this through. Just labeling these feelings, understanding why they feel so strong, why you feel so helpless, can be helpful.
And now they are moving. YIKES --- that is hard no matter your age.
You are an angel. Continue taking care of yourself, while trying to be helpful to your husband and MIL (I know, I'm asking a lot).
