DBL Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Both my grandmothers were not so nice to me. The first one that died I laughed as they scooped the dirt on her grave. My father hit me for it, but I guess it was justified...she wasn't too nice to me or my family. My other grandmother died all alone, no smpathy here for her either. I tried visiting her every month, but then she accused me of stealing her keys. They just fell off her dressor, they were there the next month I visited. However she told the whole family I stole them. That was my last visit. She died...no big deal...she got the last laugh though...she was buried on my birthday..so instead of having a party I had to go to bury her, but hey...unlike when I was a kid and laughed when dirt was thrown on my other grandmother, this time I got to throw dirt on her face. I wouldn't do anything for her. I would just make the rest of her life as miserable as possible. DBL Link to comment
ElektraHere Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nice what a way to care! Are you saying this for shock value or are you really an uncaring, unemotional, immature young boy? Link to comment
DBL Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nice what a way to care! Are you saying this for shock value or are you really an uncaring, unemotional, immature young boy? No I can think of better things for shock value. Only two things in this world that really gets my sympathy...abused kids and abused animals. You look at it as uncaring, unemotional. Not really the case. Some people don't deserve to be treated with any respect. So you think I'm a young boy? Should I take that as a compliment? DBL Link to comment

DBL I think that even if they werent nice you can still have enough couth to show some respect. If it werent for them YOU wouldn't be here. Link to comment
DBL Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I think that even if they werent nice you can still have enough couth to show some respect. If it werent for them YOU wouldn't be here. I didn't ask to be here, so that is not my responsibility or problem. I only show respect for those that show it to me, else I could care very little about what happens to someone. I'll give a good example...there was this guy Stan. What an jerk this guy was..not just to me but to others as. Just a trouble maker that like to cause problems everywhere he went. I always said to friends and myself..."that guy needs to die". Hey guess what? He died last year, snapped his neck in a car accident. No regrets...it is one less jerk I have to deal with. Does that add anything to your shock value? DBL Link to comment
ElektraHere Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I wont even dignify that with a comment. Link to comment
DBL Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I wont even dignify that with a comment. I don't see what is so different in the way I think and the present and past presidents of this country have thought. I wished a few to die, yes. However I am not the one behind sending men to death in WWI, WWII, etc. You know they are going to die and there is no regret by our country. So why try to dignify my comment when killing has been the history of the United States and every other country out there. DBL Link to comment
jtoli Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 MissJ...Hugs to you and your family. When you mentioned that your mom cries, I can only imagine all of the mixed emotions she must be going through. I know you are shocked about all the new information you were told, but I don't think it was nessassarily there to hurt your view of your grandmother or to confuse you. Your mother is probably needing an outlet-someone to talk to just like you do. Have you talked with a grief counselor or someone from Hospice? I know lots of times this is usually set up b/f the patient leaves the hospital. If not than it can be discussed with her physician. What type of illness does she have if I may ask? Are there any comfort care measures in place? Your grandmother is probably going through the stages of preparing herself for her death, and depression is one of them. Even if she was the most nasty human being to your mother, your mother still cares for. If not your grandmother would be socked away in a nursing home. No, I take it that your mother and you are compassionate human beings trying to make the best of a very difficult situation. It's normal to feel completely frustrated when caring for the sick, but that's part of being human. If you haven't can you imagine how your grandmother must feel? Her illness has obviously debilitated her and knowing that her body is shutting down probably doesn't make her feel warm and cozy. Everyone handles death and dying differently-Her way is not abnormal or uncommon. How do you think you would handle your own death? My only hope is that if your mother harbors these feelings about the past in her heart, perhaps it's important to make peace b/f her passing. Good luck. Link to comment
RelaxByWater84 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I know what you mean my gramma is so hard to get along with. I went to see what type of tea she wanted and asked me where is my tea in an irratated voice. I was so mad at her. She told me how to make tea. Then she tries to make it and ends up burning herself and she claims it was my fault. My mom ends up defending me she told my gramma that she taught me to make tea properly. Oh then gramma asked my weight and wouldn't let it go until she saw she wouldn't get it out of me. So I know how it feels to have a gramma like yours. Hope it helps knowing that you aren't the only one dealing with this situation. Link to comment
