My Grandma died Wednesday, and while it should have been a time of mourning and remembering her life (which is pretty fascinating-- she was born before women could vote) it turned in to a time of drama and bullshit.
My sister strikes again.
This time she wrote dad a three page letter that she gave him the day of his mother's viewing, telling him how he was such a bad father because he got remarried, lying about all these wonderful things she's done for him that he's never reciprocated, lying about all these things that happened way in the past (like the day I was born, she sat in the waiting room with my mom's daughter and was teasing her for being fat. She now says Crissy was lying and she never said any of those things, except it wasn't Crissy who told my parents what she had done-- it was a woman in the waiting room who happened to overhear). She finished the letter saying that at least Grandma and Robert (my dad's son, who died of Leukemia 3 years ago) died knowing the truth about dad. What an awful thing to say to someone you've already done nothing but hurt.
I'm debating the next move-- should I call her out on it or not? I've never shown any open animosity toward her but I can't be civil after this. Every day I wish it was her who had died and not Robert. She's an awful human being, who has done so many terrible things that it's hard to even tell a cohesive story about all she's done. There's just too much. This takes the cake though. To use a time when dad is already feeling down to get in there and make him feel worse.
I have a hard time believing in karma anymore when it seems like she always gets away with everything she does.
