Thanks dude. Yeah, I’ve… Ive seen some very bad shit. Shit I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Not my worst enemy, not even my family (though abuse definitely is multi-generational, in this case. But that stops with me).

At some point it becomes… Hard to keep up with it. And yes, hurt people hurt people, as the saying goes. Unfortunately…

I agree with your last statement. I hope so, too.

I’ve seen dementia destroy two lives, now. I’ve seen just how bad it gets (obviously, in this case, prior to October last year). I’ve seen just how much toxic family will use that situation to abuse and manipulate. And I’ve seen just how bad the… “Aged care” sector is, in this supposedly “extremely wealthy” country.

Honestly, I just hope he was comfortable, at the end (the problem being, of course, that I only have the word of my family), and I hope that my grandmother can cope.

Other than that… He’s free, now. I’m free, now. Free of another tie, to this place, and to this family.

I’m ready to let that burden go, I think. Time to move towards something better.

At the moment, I’m not sure my “family” deserve to be a part of that. But so be it.

The curse (of abuse, pain, guilt, shame, resentment and blame) stops here.
