Now I Know Why Lord Jesus Christ Felt He Couldn't Stay (after His Resurrection)

Before I get started: I'm not blaming anyone for 'the apparent failure my life is' (where--instead of living with my wife & children (and possibly grandchildren by now)--I'm living with my mom, since my recovery is fairly full but my behavior is unpredictable. Most of all, I want to appreciate the sacrifice of caregiver-spouses---who give up their careers & independence etc. for the "ball & chain" of a dependent spouse. (And we dependents are really 'ball & chains' to our caregivers! (And I know that Lord Jesus' 'sacrifice' was "much more" than the spouses lose, which is still less than I lost; but ... I'll eventually explain how these sacrifices shadow Jesus' sacrifice ...) I know a couple of caregiver-spouses, but I know MORE caregiver-PARENTS (like my mom ... although most of THEIR dependents are more-paralyzed than me). And I wonder 'why don't our caregivers try to find spouses for us?' And I think I answered that question when I described 'the sacrifices the caregiver-spouses make'---and No one WANTS to give up 'the single life' in exchange for 'the caregiver's ball-&-chain!' (Now that I think of it, MOST of the caregiver-parents I know are DIVORCED ... ergo, they probably don't think a TBI-survivor could handle marriage; since THEY had to end their own!) Lord Jesus Christ ... do you think He'd have as many worshippers if He hadn't ascended back to Our Father? I don't; because--when we TBI-survivors stay alive (rather than 'ascending back to Our Father')-- ... well, our demographic isn't as wealthy as the Roman Catholic Church!
