It got Irv to lose all their retirement in the market. He made a rational choice, either live in misery with Sarah or speculate to get rich and be rid of her.
Mean-spirited? I’m deeply hurt. When I wrote this series, I really was trying to reflect what it’s like for someone who hasn’t been in the job market for years to have to go back to work, and Sarah is never going to make her daughter’s choices easier. I don’t know about you guys, but I have yet to see a mother-daughter relation ship that isn’t fraught with conflict.

This strip has gotten rather mean spirited of late. Wonder what axe Ed thinks he has to grind?

The same one he’s displayed for years. Neurotic nag of a wife. Layabout in-laws leaching off them. Deep regrets.
