Dear Abby: My father's sister frequently has cut us off for perceived slights and clearly is unstable. She cut my dad off a few years ago, but now that he's ill, she's reappeared. No one wants her at his funeral.
Dear Abby: My father's sister frequently has cut us off for perceived slights and clearly is unstable. She cut my dad off a few years ago, but now that he's ill, she's reappeared. No one wants her at his funeral.
My aunt frequently cuts people out of her life for perceived slights -- small, large and imagined. A few years ago, she got into a fight with my dad . Somehow, the rest of my family got cut out, too. Guilt by association, I guess. She has done it to me so many times that I decided this last time would be it. I no longer want the drama of being “let back in” , only to be mysteriously cut off again.
Unfortunately, my dad is in ill health. He and his sister have recently made contact, but it is only surface conversation. When he passes, how do I let her know about his death without inviting her back into my life? No one in our family wants her at the funeral. Thanks for your wisdom.Tell your aunt about her brother’s death and let her decide if she wishes to attend the funeral. If she comes, be cordial.
