My father passed away last week, we are having his funeral next week. My father suffered from a terrible illness and was ill for many years. We are all devastated by his death as are my children.
My aunt however, my mother's sister never liked my Dad. In fact she said as much to me once. Despite this she stayed at my parent's house every few months for weeks on end. She is devoted to my mother and felt that my father ruined her life. My mother was devoted to my father but loves her sister too.
My aunt is now staying with my mother for possibly a few weeks. She hasn't offered me or my children one word of sympathy. She even wrote my daughter a letter a few weeks ago when our cat died but nothing when my father did. She is a very formal person who always usually would do things like write but today I went to my Mum's for lunch and saw my aunt for the first time since my Dad died and she said nothing.
I am so upset for both myself and my children I don't know how to deal with this.
