[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all very emotional, confusing, exhausting, and disorienting. It's grief and saddness and anger...all wrapped up into one big cluster.

If you have faced a similar experience...what was it like for you?

It is nothing for me. My father was abusive, mean, and horrible, not to mention controlling and manipulative. He continues this to this day (from what i hear second-hand. I do not have anything to do with him).

He married a woman (after divorcing from my mother) who he didn't really love b/c he was starting to have health problems and "need someone to take care of him." I kind of feel bad for the lady. He has had multiple heart attacks, among other things, stemming from a chronic condition he could have easily managed but did not. He's mid-70's now, but a rough mid-70's, and is starting to get dementia from what I hear. I couldn't care less. I don't wish him ill but neither do I GAF.

He ofc takes no responsibility for his actions. He now mere tells my sibling that we will "get nothing in the will" from him. BFD. He can die with his last penny in his hand as far as I'm concerned.[/quote]
