Oh yeah! About 4 months ago, xfil passed away. I don't exactly know what happened.
My kids told me. They asked their dad if hww could leave for like 10 min so they could go to calling hours and pay their respects. He said no. They didn't go. I didn't go.
I know it seems very awful of me not to recognize it, but it really felt like the right thing to do. I prayed about it.
He was not really a good man to his family. He never spoke to my kids. He took advantage of his own family, including us and never hesitated to "make off" from us or anyone. I will not say anymore, bc it isn't necessary, but I could.
I found, in the end, I didn't need to go. I told my kids I would go with them, if they needed to support them. They didn't.
It was their choice. I understood, but was supportive either way.
About a month laer, out of nowhere, xh told d15 that I was evil. I was baffled and dumbfounded! I had gone out of my way to not fight with him and not give him a reason to turn anyting on me. He made his choice, and I let him go do it. I just laughed and said, "What did I do??!!"
I think he's mad that I didn't give him the attention he wanted. And frankly, my dear...
I really don't want to sound cold-hearted. It wasn't like that at all... I really prayed hard about it. And I don't regret my decision at all. And that's what I encouraged my kids, don't do something you will regret. I don't think they do either.
