Hi. My father is an ass.

[amezri]

So my uncle (mom's brother-in-law) is probably dying.

I don't want sympathy here. I never liked him anyway. It's just a fact. Too much drinking and smoking. Anyway.

My father finds out that he and my aunt have a ridiculously lare sum of money. My aunt has the mentality of a small child, so obviously she can't really handle certain things by herself.

All yesterday and first thing today, he's telling my mother she should go and visit her brother-in-law because he might not make it and blah, blah, blah. And that she should contact a lawyer to get things in order. Nevermind that my father has been told many times that my uncle has already gotten a lawyer, a will, a living will, and his son has it all under control.

We all know what my father is angling for - a share of the money. Even my grandfather in Taiwan knows it.

Not that we should be entitled to any. So why should we expect any? Oh, right, he's dying and we need money to "take care of his wife" after he dies. Oh, please.

It's all about money with that slimey bastard and it's really, really aggravating. At least he could do it in a covert way. Yelling at people to getaplanenow and getalawyernow is not really going to make anything happen. Except maybe my wanting to jam a fork in to your head.

And I'm not saying no one here cares enough to go... wait, I am. No one here really likes my uncle enough to care. He doesn't want visitors, his sister has told my mother not to go, his son doesn't want us to go. This is not politeness, this is "don't you come over here because I don't want to see you. At all."

If he doesn't stop yelling into the phone, I'm going to ram it down his throat. OMG. *stabs*

Would it make you feel any better about your dysfunctional family if I told you that the night before my stepmother's funeral her oldest brother and my father were noting that her father had better not show his face at the funeral or someone would probably kill him...?

Doesn't make me feel better, but I can understand the hate.

Frankly a fascinating family history there -- a few days later I learned that the car crash that had killed Cindy's mother was in fact an attempted murder-suicide that was only half successful. (Her mother was trying to kill her father and willing to kill herself to do so, but a doctor and nurse just happened to be in the car behind them and managed to save his life.) Truly hard-core dysfunctional -- Cindy hadn't been on speaking terms with her oldest brother for decades until he and his dad had a falling-out with his father trying to sue him and him knowing far too much about his father's shady business deals to go down without a fight.
