That's the main message my therapist sent as well. And my husband. But I'm the only one to make these decisions, and I can't help thinking of causal relationships. Whatever I do there will be consequences. And I'm not sure I'm strong enough to live with whatever consequences there might be.
I have no trouble with my husband's mother, supporting her and her husband's decision not to go to the hospital, whatever happens. But they are both more capable of making those decisions, and they both understand (at some level) the consequences of those decisions.
For some reason, I thought this sort of thing would be more clear. I didn't realize all the gradations involved.
