[QUOTE="witzend, post: 198444, member: 99"] L was particularly awful the last 8 months or so. She would be out of touch for months at a time and when I did see her she was rude and abusive each time. You all know that we had our big discussion the other night with her weird ultimatum that I make up with my family or I'm too untrustworthy for her to have a relationship with. Here was one of the things she told me that night. I had to verify it. Last winter before Christmas L told me that m[COLOR=Blue]y dad was dying. [/COLOR] I asked what she meant. [COLOR=Blue] She said he had knee surgery. [/COLOR] I told her that if he had an infection or something his doctor would see it. Did he have a fever?[COLOR=Blue] No, he was just very quiet and sat around all the time and wasn't recovering.[/COLOR][COLOR=Black] I reminded her that he is 79 years old, and you don't recover from things as quickly as you do when you are 24. [COLOR=Blue]She went on and on about how ill he was and that he was going to die and I needed to go see him.[/COLOR] I asked if he had asked to see me, a[COLOR=Blue]nd she said no. She said he was just sitting in the basement[/COLOR] (it's finished and where he spends most of his time) [COLOR=Blue]cracking walnuts. [/COLOR]That's what he does every winter so my mom can use them for cookies and banana bread. I told her that he hadn't asked for me, and hadn't spoken to me in nine years, I wasn't going to go into his home unasked for when I had just been told I was not allowed to come to Thanksgiving dinner. I doubted that he was so seriously ill. When husband talked with my awful sister W about her inappropriate interactions with my dad, he asked about my dad. [COLOR=Red]W told him he had knee surgery and was fully recovering, but slowly.
