She

He was a mean guy, not to mention his arrogance. Hated by all around and all relatives. He never worked. He was an alcohol and tobacco addict. She stayed with him for the sake of 2 kids. 20 years of marriage. She worked hard to make sure that kids get an education. She thought of divorce but decided against it as she didn't want her kids to grow up without a sense of father and a broken family. 


(yes, we all think it was wrong, but not for many Indian women). 


She put up with everything from him. He was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease three years ago and progressively became bedbound. Now she takes care of him, from feeding to cleaning his butt and often putting him in a chair to avoid bedsores.


Eventually, he will die one day with all his nuisance, but what about her sufferings?
