I have a twin sister that I don’t talk to, so I can see where you’re coming from. But I have to tell you, my mom is gone, I only have dad, we are all of different faiths growing up, when he goes, it will not be a religious service, and he’s ok with that.
It doesn’t matter what religion you share.
It just matters that you are family.
And sometimes, family isn’t that close. We tend to think it ought to be and (for me as the girl) I wanted to make peace with everyone and have everyone get along.
All I got was shat on in the process.
My youngest brother actually called me and asked (there was a will made in California when he had Mom...before he dumped her penniless in Illinois 3 years ago...after squandering the whole estate she and my father had amassed in Europe...) ...well, there are MANY things in the will to me that aren’t there. And the will stipulates for that...of course. My youngest bro got THREE times the amount of itemized items in this will....
And THAT was even ok. I was willing to be ok with it.
But see, my mom had a diamond ring from Dad...the only one she ever wore,
She had brain damage from a tumor removal in 1996. And she left her WEDDING ring to my youngest brother’s wife. Now that was wrong.
And she has said since she has been here that that is not what she wanted. She wanted me to have the ring. THE ONLY WEDDING RING MY MOM EVER WORE AND I AM HER ONY DAUGHTER.
So...SINCE my brother dumped her here...and there are alot of things in the will he made that aren’t going to be passed along...you’d think...
...well, he would be ok with it now, right?
WRONG. He called me the day we left the funeral and told me I needed to send him “that ring”.
Because “It’s in the will to (my SIL) so it goes to ME now!”
I said, “No, I love you...bye..) and that’s the last I have talked to him.
My mom’s wedding ring. He’s divorced and has two sons (and has squandered thousands of dollars worth of property to a gambling addiction)...
And he wants MY MOTHER’S wedding ring.
You may be bitchy about women right now...but let me tell you...
men can be a bitch.
