[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's been 14 years and it seems like you still have grief/anger issues about your father's death which haunt you. One of those issues is how your father's siblings treated him when he needed them most. They gave you a clue when they said he was "difficult" but consider this: Maybe he was absolutely awful to them, perhaps in a verbally abusive way. Or maybe he point blank told them to butt out of his life. Sibling relationships are very complicated and, like a marriage, no one really knows what they are like from the outside. There could be lots of complicating factors why your aunts/uncles didn't help, including what was going on in their own lives at the time. Grief does not have an expiration date. I hope you find a way to resolve this and know that most people try to do the best they can, while they can. [/quote]
