Deadly Game With My Husband's Brothers
"Even his secretary has been here more times than you have, and all they know is his first name. The poor girl sat there for an hour today, just holding his hand. And you? You're his wife, chilling at home."

I scratch my head. How do I put this to sound less mean? "I'm sorry, Natalie. Mom, I ummm... I've been working, and unlike you, I don't... um... have pensions or investments that bring money to my lap, and your son’s credit cards are all locked away under a rock, and he left me bills to pay. It's not that I don't care, Natalie. I just... I can't afford to be there right now."
