I married into a family of Crazies !!
Joes grandmother passed away yesterday... So far - his mom (who tramped around on his dad) has put herself in the middle of everything " because grandma loved her)
Joes a-hole of a father has refused to call Joe back after many calls from Joe.
I am so angry at his family for never being there for us because I now have to take Loela to a Rosary and Funeral because she doesn't know anyone well enough for us to leave them with (other than her sitter, whom I can't ask)
I have a feeling if his dad or stepmom even attempt to come up to Lo something will go down. We have both agreed to just walk away.
His uncle (he cared for g-ma) refuses to come down for the burial because word is going around he had an insurance policy on g-ma.
I told Joe, so what !! I have an insurance policy on all 3 of us !!!! Joe says what !!?? Uh duh !! if one of leaves this earth unexpectedly our daughter needs to be cared for.
I am just up to here. Tomorrow can not get here fast enough !!
Re: I married into a family of Crazies !!
Weddings and funerals bring out the crazy. When Daniel's grandma passed away in September 2008, his uncle's wife started saying that grandma didn't want Mary (one of Daniel's aunts) at the funeral. So, instead the crazy wife decided not to come to the funeral and I can't remember if Mary went or not due to the drama. It was ridiculous. Kay, the crazy wife, is ridiculous.
Anyway, I'm sorry you have to deal with this!
I'm so sorry Christina for your family's loss...and I can totally relate to the family of crazies especially during the time of a loss like this. People just get so self-involved and lame-@ ss stupid.
A good slap in the face would be perfect medicine...but it's time to just be civil and respect Joe's g-ma. It's a time to mourn for her, and anything else that happens...it doesn't have to be dealt with or you'll come to blows. Trust me, just walk away if the "situation" arises. Just breathe Christina, it will all be over very soon.::HUGS:::
life insurance is a good idea in general. joe's uncle shouldn't feel weird at all about that.
also, i'm so sorry everything is going so crappy in this situation... i read the second post first and then found this one... :::::::hugs::::::: we love you!
