Tomorrow would have been my dad's birthday had he not died nearly 10 years ago. I had, to say the least, a somewhat strained relationship with him but we were on quite good terms when he died. I still didn't have answers to a lot of questions as to why he treated me that way and now accept I'll never fully understand what was going on. It took me a while to also realise that no matter how much I hated him at times. I still loved/love him dearly and miss him.
He had a girlfriend at the time of his death and though it sounds cliched she was truly a wicked stepmother. She got him to change his will about 6 weeks before he died. Leaving almost everything to her. We could have contested but still would have only got, if i remember correctly, half of moveable estate which would have been about the same amount but included more legal fees. My mum (on my dsis's behalf) and I decided not to do that.
The girlfriend did not allow us any say in the funeral. Our existence was not even mentioned in his eulogy and to this day we don't know who the pallbearers were. It was utterly horrific. We only found his cause and exact time of death by requesting a death certificate ourselves.
She wouldn't even let my DSis and I into our home to get our own belongings and we have not one keepsake of his. She has not been in contact once since.
Tonight, she has just turned up at my dsis's door and told her that DSis and I have an unhealthy relationship. I probably abused her but that she has blocked it out. She spouted other lies like I was the reason DSis didn't get what was rightfully hers.
This has rightly upset both of us. DSis may only have been 13 at the time but knows this is all crap.
We lost mum only 18 months ago too. I feel so upset and quite vulnerable as we don't know how she knew where to find her - although we have been hiding.
This woman has done enough damage to our lives. Why did she turn up and spout such evil nonsense? Why can't she just go to the other side of fuck?
DSis is on her way over here now. As we are unnaturally close and want to stay in the same house tonight.
Why the fuck are some people so fucking evil?
