Sorry to hear about your grampa an, greed spoils everythig. When my granpas brother died his daugthers made sure my granpa didnt see a cent that was left for him in the will. That was 5 years ago, my granpa passed away last year without seeing a penny his brother left him.
The amount of greed in this world makes me sick. My grandmother ("Nanee") was gone less then 2 hours before the family began carving up their little slices and fighting over stuff. My dad's in the hospital and all they have to say to me is that I have to find someplace else for him because when he's released, he can't go back to my Nanee's house where he'd been living for the past 18 months. What ever happened to kindness and understanding. Even a touch of sympathy would go a long way. Instead I get what fels like thw weight of the world dumped on me while everyone laughs, points and just say, "Wow, you're so screwed." Sorry to be another downer. I just really needed to vent. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do.
Yeesh, and I thought my uncle behaved himself poorly at my grandmother's funeral. Your relatives take the cake for sure. My condolences. That's far more than anyone should have to deal with, especially all at once.
To be honest, my dad's no saint. Full blown non-functioning alcoholic who's done a lot of bad in the later end of his life. He's paying for it with physical/mental ailments and social backlash. What sucks is that people don't distinguish between me and him. The feel it's fair to make me suffer for his sins. Especially if there's profit in it for them. I'm not saying I'm a better person than any of them, but it doesn't even seem like they're trying.

See above. He's got an abdomen full of mush and seriously compromised mental capacities. We just don't have the money/time to have him declared incompetent. Sucks to be poor.

He refused treatment at the hospital today so they're checking him out against their own better judgement at 4 today. You know, cause he can't just work with me and stay calm until the day before the funeral to give me time to figure things out. He's got no place to live except with my brother who's a recovering alcoholic. Yeah, bad idea. My extended family knows they're screwing me over but doesn't care. And that's pretty much their own words.
Anyway, I might be distant/moody/whatever for a while until I figure this out. I'll do my best to fulfill my obligations to the players of Care Bears though. You have my word on that. Thanks for being there for me guys. It feels good to just get my frustrations out of my head.

I was in a very similar situation with my mom. I got saddled with her care as no one else would take care of her due to years of mistreating everyone around her. Eventually I talked it through with some hospital workers and they convinced me to get her proved physically incompetent to live alone (way easier than mentally) And with that, once she was in the system it became way easier to get her the care she needed. It didn't cost anything, just time, paperwork, and a caseworker coming out and observing.
I always thought family was supposed to look out for each other/help each other out...
I thought so, too.

His physical state is better than his mental state, but that's an option. Thanks for the idea, man.
Sundays are slow around here. People have football, wrestling, and it's the beginning of television shows for the week. Some people have church and spend the day with family as well.
