No I am not going to be happy that my asshole brother is now doing stuff with our father.
Suddenly Mom is dead and he can have Dad over for dinner once a week?
Seriously?
He couldn't be bothered to see Mom before she got sick either time. He only showed up when he thought she was dying. And then she did.
So no I am not going to be happy that he's making an effort now.
My Mom died not knowing her second grandson. A grandson who wouldn't have recognized her in any way. That Mom met maybe all of 6 times in 7 years.
Why does he get lauded for being there now when he wasn't there when it mattered?
Why the hell does NO ONE call him out on the bull shit he has pulled for years, decades even.
He just gets excused.
Fuck that.
I will not be there at Christmas if he is present (immediate family). I won't stay quiet.
After the near death and the fall Mom was hurt that both my aunt (her sister) and my brother only visited when they thought she was dying.
There wasn't even a phone call when she got home on the 9th of December.
She said she didn't care that they were there when she was dying, where were they when it mattered. When she could see them? Talk to them?
I called my Aunt and brother out back in October.
Guess who hasn't been acknowledged in any way with regards to my Mom's death. They've said stuff Dad and my sister. Nothing to me.
Not surprised. Seriously it took everything in me at dinner to not rip Jen a new one when she commented to William that Friday she and Dad were going to his Uncle's place for dinner.
Because guess who got to deal with the hurt and angry almost 12 year old that we weren't invited and why hadn't they visited Grandma and Grandpa when Grandma was alive??
Chris is NOT my son's uncle. He is NOT my brother in any way.
I am so fucking tired of everyone praising the asshole and pretend he didn't ignore our parents for 14 years.
