the family story...read in sections
Do all families get so petty when a will is at stake? Mine apparently does. Not even a will, more like the wellbeing of a benefactor. Maybe it's a pride thing, I'm not too sure. Mom's side of the family is becoming so manipulative it's disgusting. I do not doubt, like seriously don't doubt, one of them will somehow read this despite the fact that I have given this journal to no family. Well that's ok, because this is my opinion on things. And being the 2nd generation, it should not matter. Note to spies: i have a pet named pope who attacks..
The characters: Mom's family- Aunt Chris, Aunt Pattie (oldest), Uncle Tony (2nd oldest), and Uncle Paul
My grandfather was living with my Aunt Chris but recently has got "kicked out" which could simply mean Aunt Chris called his bluff when he got angry and would say "this is the last straw, im leaving". The reason for this? Grandpa did not get along with my uncle or, apparently, my cousin Mike. The cousin part is nonsense I think and I feel incredibly bad for him to have to feel like this is his fault. Grandpa would say they would never say hello to him when they walked into a room, but I can't see that from Mike. He also wanted a TV in his bedroom, which he has had all his life (he had it when he lived here too..this was not an unreasonable request as far as i know, seeing as how mike has a TV in his bedroom), but they declined. Grandpa was saying he didn't seem like part of their family, so now he's off to a senior home hopefully. Since grandma died, I've always said he should go to an old age home. He's so social. They'd all pile in a bus, and head to the senior centre, then come back and their meals would be ready (hell, i'd go).
The other alternative is to live with Aunt pattie (who he's living with right now), Aunt Chris' buddy. You could say the other "team" would be Mum, Uncle Tony and Uncle Paul. But honestly, its only that way in terms of "teams" b/c the Chris and PAttie seemed to have made it that way. Despite the numbers, mum is always crushed by this b/c i guess she'd rather be closer to her sisters, naturally. Gramps asked Uncle Tony to get involved to help him find a senior's home in whitby (which is where he lived w/ Aunt Chris.he likes the senior centre). Asking Uncle Tony for help has never happened, and you know the fur is going to fly now. There had been some controversy about loans in the past (where family asked grandpa for a loan, but the Aunts got involed and denied access...they have made grandpa out to look utterly incompetent), but clearly should not have been an issue. Note: i have to defend my mother right now who has never once taken their $ out of vain. The inheritance is BS to us, since theres really not going to be that much when divided by 5. However know that she helped them set up investments which is why Gramps has about $100 000 right now. Never taken any of it. I'm also going to make mum look like a martyr b/c when gramps and grandma lived here, mom kept this family together; always had the holidays here, never asked for anyone to get her permission to take grandma and grandpa for the holidays (Keep in mind, they wouldn't even tell my mom that, just show up and take them, despite the fact that she was a single mom and it would be just her and I then..thanks for the invites family) Do you think its as easy now? nooooo. Has anyone else tried to keep it together like MOm? nooooo.
Also note that right now, Aunt Pattie and Aunt Chris are in charge of granpa's inheritance and they seemed to be getting their back up. Very interesting. Afraid irrate grandpa is going to say something? hmmm. The gossip of the family was my family, Uncle Tony's family, and Uncle Paul were not allowed in the sister's houses basically without supervision when visiting Gramps, in fear we'd steal something. Ha! HA! I say! Unbelieveable they could even think they have something to 1steal. I think someone stole their conscience and replaced it with black, black hearts. Well this was confirmed b/c Mom, Uncle Tony and I are going to see grandpa tomorrow and we had to get permission from Aunt Pattie who constantly inquired WHY we had to go see him and then said we had to wait to come get him until her husband got home. I want to make sure he's going to get into a good home, as do the rest, and he can pay for whatever he wants b/c he's getting benefit cheques from everywhere. In the past, old age homes were apparently too expensive for him, said the holders of the will (Pattie and Christ), but now that their SOL, it looks like he'll be getting whatever he wants, and the truth is going to come out. Let's go to the mattresses family.
