Tough Talk: May 14, 2024

Tough Talk,

My brother is dying of cancer and I have been taking care of them for the past three years.  I don’t mind, but I’m finding that really need some time to myself as I have no friends or family in this area.  I’ve talked to his girlfriend about helping out, but she says it’s my duty to take care of him and to tough it out.  What do you think TT? (Deerfield, Connecticut)

Deerfield,

I’m sorry to hear about your brother and you must be a fine and decent person.  Not so sure I’d say the same about the girlfriend.  I’d tell her keep her opinion to herself and to blow it out her pie hole.  You should also tell her it’s her duty not to be such a SFBM.
