Thanks man, I appreciate it. Really. And yeah, I honestly found that… Pretty harrowing, myself, dude.

It was so… Openly callous, too? Like, to just… Say that as a throwaway line, and then immediately move on like everything was okay..?

I just walked away, and went off to do some of my own work. I couldn’t even fathom putting up a response to that, today. 😕

And then he acted like everything was normal, a couple of hours later.

But hey, I know my parents are narcs. I’ve known that for a long time. I think I was around… 13/14 when I started making (unsuccessful) plans to get out…

But yeah, this hits hard.

They’ve spent most of today, when I’ve seen them, bitching about the nursing home staff (literally), and about my grandmother (as in, the wife).

They won’t even let me contribute to the funeral “slideshow” they intend to make. Nah, apparently they would rather ask my cousin.

This is also pretty terrible: the nursing home wants his (now “former”) room totally cleared by Monday. Monday…

I gather his body must be in the morgue, but shit, Monday?? It’s Saturday here, now. I will have barely had time to process this shit, before two days time…

And my family won’t even allow me to help with that task, because I’m “unvaxxed”. So I can’t even see his room without him in it…

The whole thing is pretty fucked up, hey?
