My Uncle

[angie r]

My uncle passed away on the 9th. This is my dad's oldest brother. My mom called to tell me, my dad's stepmother called her. I find it so sad, and find myself wondering if I'll hear about my own father's death in the same way, through the grapevine. Not sure how I'm feeling today...

I vaguely rememeber the reasons why you don't speak to him anymore...any chance you might consider an olive branch because I couldn't imagine hearing information this way. (((hugs)))

I extended it and was ignored. If he happens upon my brothers or I in public he acts as if he doesn't know us. He even ignored one of my brothers kids (his grandson mind you) who is 20 at an ice cream shop, my dad put his cell phone to his ear and walked away as my nephew is saying "hi papaw." However, when we were at a family reunion my dad (in front of all his side of the family) acted all nicey, nice. Never spoke to me at all though. I'm sure he tells them I'm awful and could never get over my parents divorce which happened 2 new wives and 20 years ago. I guess I'm really kind of upset that none of my cousins or aunts would have called me. I'm sure he's told them horror stories about me though.

sorry for the vent...

angie- I'm sorry that you're going through this. All those conflicting emotions can wear you down. (((angie)))

[Amy]

I agree with Cathy, that has to wear you down. Its hard to understand how someone can just write off their children and grandchildren. I am sure there is probably a lot of paranoia and inacurrate theories running through his mind. I'm sorry he can't be the Father you need and want.

(((Angie))) I'm sorry you are dealing with this.

Thanks everyone. My brother and I had a nice talk today. We realize we are better off away from him while he is with his current wife who is a drug addict. We have heard through the grapevice of her terrible behavior at the funeral and feel so sorry for my Uncle's wife.

(((((Angie))))) I am so sorry... I hope you are feeling better now. That would have me wondering too, and I am not sure how I would feel either.

[Diane]

It's a shame that you even have to worry about something like that. Hopefully when/if something happens... you won't have to find out through the grapevine... ((((ANGIE))))
