I think I once wrote this before in another thread. But anyway:

I used to sell real-estate to Germans in Spain. And do you know who most of the buyers were? They were Boomers estranged from their adult children. Many were bitter and were obviously not over it. So Dee, count your blessings if your Hubby is taking this quietly. It’s better for his health in any case. I wonder if these egotistical uncaring adult children will someday be treated by their own children in the same way. What goes out, usually comes back.
