Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Triumph 111, Alexandria. Welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura. Thank you so much for taking my call.

I want to let you know that you're that I'm not the only listener in the family are bearded dragon tilts her head every time I turn your show on because she knows your voice.

That's funny. Yeah, she's very cute. My husband and I have been married for 15 years and we have two beautiful boys and we have been happy and he is dying.

And we are having a hard time because I am worried about the finances and how I'm going to make this happen and he is worried about me.

Shacking up with somebody else or being taken advantage of and we are just not working together what right now.

I'm just confused. He's dying and you're falling apart over finances. Can't you figure out a way to get people to help you and not make that be a burden on a dying man's heart.

No one is going to help me. I'm on my own. I hired somebody.

When my husband died, I hired somebody because I hadn't even written at a check in 20 years to care of all that I had no clue insurance this that the other thing zero awareness.

So I hired somebody and they got all the information together, all the bank statements, all everything.

Put it together and help me take care of it for you to act incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial when he's dying to a man, especially with men because men are very big on taking care of.

And he's dying thinking you don't know what the hell you're doing so that's why he's thinking you'll just find some guy.

So my advice is, cut the crap woman. This is so self-centered. Get the help you need now to figure out finances.

Okay. Stop adding to his misery, please.

Make him think he's leaving his children in the hands of somebody who is responsible and can take care of them.

I have taken care of him for seven years and the burden on me.

Not talking about that.

He wants to know he's leaving his kids to someone who, hey, man, you can yell all you want, but I listen to what you said.

And what you said is horrible.

That's why he's worried.

If you act like you can't handle anything.

So please let him die believing that his kids are in safe hands financially, and you're not going to shack up and get with some guy.
