It's my nans funeral on Wednesday. Private serves in her house and then cremation after it. Not spoken to my grandad since last October after he called me fat and going on and on about my weight 😢 when I went to see my Nan in the hospital when she was dying he was still being horrible to me or planking me and just taking to other family members and ignoring me when I Tex him asking about my nan. Really don't know what to do should I go to the funeral? Just scared he's going to say something to me asking why I'm there? But then I think I'm allowed to go she was my Nan she was ok with me it's him that's got the problem with me.

I'd go, but stay well away from him. Hope it goes well x

Go to your nan's funeral, and steer clear of grandad. Should be easy when he'll be occupied with people offering their condolences to him etc.

Go to the funeral, stay away from him as much as possible and if he says something - let him. He’s the one that looks like a bully.
You're there to say goodbye to your Nan, that’s the important thing. His opinions are not important

Im very sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about your nan OP.

Do you have a close family member or friend who can stick by your side at the funeral so you have some support? I'd say don't miss the funeral - you only have the one chance to go, and, if your grandad lets himself down again at the funeral then that's an awful thing for him to do and says more about him than you.

Go to the funeral and get there after he's gone in. Sit behind him. Speak to someone there (so that it gets back that you're there). At the end, slip out before he does and go home.

I'm really sorry you lost your Nan - no need for you to keep in touch with your grandad now.

Thank you for all your massages. I'm going to go to the funeral just dreading that he's going to say something to me 😩 there is a private ceremony in the house first so dreading having to walk in the house really. She was my dads mum so hopefully he won't say anything in from of my dad and other family members. At least I won't have to see him after tomorrow x
