My family's so dysfunctional...
I swear I can't stand my family sometimes....
I guess one of aunt's (Let's just call her aunt #1) just decides "Oh yeah, since mom (my grandma) made me mad, I'm not going to Christmas". I would've been fine with her not going if it wasn't for my grandpa... He just got finished with his chemo/radiation treatments, so all he has to do now is get part of his esophagus removed. You would think that since he had/has cancer that maybe - just maybe - his daughters would spend time with him regardless? My other two aunts spend almost every other day with him, but aunt #1 decides that since she can't deal with her mom's attitude (which she's dealt with for almost her entire life) that now...RIGHT NOW... is the best time to cut her off and not visit.Β
I honestly don't know what's going through her mind right now, but getting mad at her over a car isn't an excuse to NOT see you cancer stricken father. Like, wtf? I see my grandpa and grandma every day because I love them that damn much. Yeah, my grandma can be a bit overwhelming with her attitude and stubbornness, but it's like, WHO THE FUCK in my family isn't stubborn? I've gotten used to it!Β
Now with aunt #1 and my grandma bickering and causing all this damn stress, it puts a lot of stress on the rest of us. We have no clue how much longer my grandpa has, or if he'll even take the surgery okay. In my opinion, I think that my aunt should just come and see him - regardless of what my grandma had done - and just spend time with her dad!Β
To make things worse, she's not even letting her kids come over to see him - who are 5 and 3. Being that young, I'm most definitely sure that they'd want to spend lots and lots of time with their grandpa! Buuuuut, since they're not coming to Christmas, I'm a bit uncertain whether or not they'll be able to see him anytime soon...
I really just wish that my family (more like my aunt) would just suck it up and deal with her mom. My mom and my other aunts have, so what makes you think you can't do the same? For a very Christian woman, I find it ironic that instead of "forgive and forget" you'd rather hold onto grudges over stupid ass shit - ie: over a damn car.
