“Is anyone at all surprised this is the type of person out
there we’re dealing with?”
Yes and no. This story regardless of it’s veracity hits pretty close to home. Got an uncle that did not honor his father’s (Marine) wishes (he left a very detailed will) after his passing, isolated all but one family member (my daughter) from my Grandmother up to her passing (for 6.5 years), hid my Grandmother’s death from all other family members (except my daughter), cremated my Grandmother and did not bury her beside my Grandfather in the fully prepaid/prepared burial plot. To this day, only the Lord knows where her urn is located.
And no, I honestly (or foolishly) did not realize that he would treat his own family in such a manner. Used to get very angry when I thought about it as I had lost not only my Grandfather that day but my Grandmother as well as my uncle but then I realized that all those things that my uncle did and continues to do will result in his own demise.
It’s been very difficult over the years not to put “my finger on the scale” so to speak when the opportunity presents itself and believe me I’ve had multiple opportunities (the last time being a couple months ago) to do so yet chose the high road. I refuse to get down on his level and always keep in mind: What would my Grandfather do?
I fear for his soul and hope that some day soon he will realize the error of his ways and come to find peace in the Lord.
I think we have to let go at times. When I think of you and
this example of human excrement, it’s clear you are a much
higher caliber of individual.
It’s comforting at times to think of his current value as a
human being, and your value as a human being.
It would be very unfortunate for you to lose control and ruin
your life to take action against him.
He will pay for what he has done, and you don’t know how
much he really is bothered by it late at night. Something
has to be eating at him, if not those things you mentioned.
Something in his mind warranted all that. I doubt what he
has done has compensated him fully in his mind.
I hope you folks stay way far away from that guy. I’d hate
to see someone else hurt by him.
I wish you well. Sorry for this problem. Sadly, some people
can be so incredibly destructive.
