Ahhh, it's downer update time, is it?

Grandpa was taken home after a few days, but he pretty much has the same care set up in his home, and an agreement signed in 2002 wherein is states he only wants hospice-provided comfort care and a DNR. And that's his choice and I can make peace with it, but even so, I'm troubled cuz his kidneys have officially closed up shop and he's basically in a coma, unlikely to come out of it.

What I'm really pissed at is my douchebag Uncle Paul is being a fucking douchebag, and moving furniture around to his liking and sleeping in his father's old bed and replacing stuff he doesn't like because he's planning on living there when his old man kicks it.

MOTHERFUCKER. What the hell kind of person does that? He's made and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and millions of dollars in property his whole goddamn life, and been living off his mother's charity for a year, after the economy went to shit and he couldn't pay off the loans he took out to build his house in Hawaii, hasn't been working for seven goddamn years, and tried to get my brother to buy an old '94 truck off him that John didn't need simply because Paul needed the money to buy a huge, gas sucking Ford, but he can't pay for half my birthday dinner like he promised John when it was his idea we go to a restaurant. Now he's priming himself to take over Grandpa's stuff when he dies, it's just a matter of days, and he's angling so a property that belongs to their father, that his parents built, gets sold off so he and Uncle Chester can get their cut, when Grandpa promised that property to my dad!

How fucking slimy are the people in my family, christ. I am so fucking sad right now. There's just...no one that's happy, and Paul's reaping the benefits, because he doesn't know how to be a decent person and not feel entitled and not screw his family over.

Ugh, bb, I'm sorry. That sucks. Your uncle Paul sounds a lot like my Uncle Phil, so I have a lot of empathy for your situation.

I hope that your dad gets what he was promised. Do you know if there is a will?

There is a will, but there's some fishy stuff surrounding all this. They've promised a copy of the will to my dad, so it's all in flux, but usually a lawyer reads the will and that's how it is, but my Uncle Chester (eldest of the brothers) has just been telling everyone what's in it, has the power of attorney, and idkidk. It all just sounds like they want their cut of the money and fuck what's in the will, and my dad's pissed and hurt.

I don't blame him. Isn't it a shame what people will do to their own family members?

My family's had a long and storied history of screwing each other over, as far as I know. Me and my dad and my brother are really the only the core of the fractured, decentralized constellation known as the Mordasini "family", and I don't know whether to be proud or cry my heart out over it.

Be proud of the three of you. And don't waste your tears for those that don't deserve them, bb.

*is speechless* =O.o=

I can't believe I'm related to these people by blood.

come hug me.... sorry things suck. hopefully they'll start getting better.

*TACKLE GLOMP*

They suck, but things tend to get worse before they get better, right? I think we've hit that point. Another post coming up soon, probably.

I hate when distressing events get made even worse by people like this. It happened when my Uncle died. Everyone just wanted what they could get, it's so horrible. *hugs*

That's exactly how things are going right now. He actually died yesterday morning, his body's not even cold and all this is starting up and I'm destroyed and just don't know what to do...

Oh darling. *hugs you close* I am so sorry.

Are we related?! Cause that sounds like my family! When my Grandma was dying, my uncle was already figuring out how much money he could get for her TV and other things.
I hate it when something terrible brings out the worst in people. Hang in there lovely! *hugs*

Yeah, we're peas in a pod, aren't we? :) It just got a whole lot more ugly yesterday/last night, but I just have to keep positive and try to come out on top of things with my brother and father in tow.

oh honey *hugs*
i have family like this too. =\
i hope things work out. and i'm sorry about your grandpa :(
