Sept 7th, my dad's wife passed away from her liver failure. She had a serious drinking problem. I instantly rushed to my dad's side that night and we left the next day for vegas. (Where she was located being taken care of by her mom since my dad had to go back to work to take care of her medical bills.) My sister refused to come, didn't even call my dad to check on him while we were gone, I understood we both very much disliked my step-mother but it was about my dad not our relationship with our step-mom. Long story short, my father asked me to move in. I already wanted move closer to him my dad is in his late 50's, not in the best shape bc of his surgeries, and livs an hour away from me.
My dad asked me to move in bc his wife left him in thousands of dollars in debt including the IRS so the money I pay him/rent or whatever will help him out not by much but by a little. To top things off, my dad was counting on the life-insurance to pay off some of her debt. We thought it was odd her mom paid for the memorial (thinking it was a nice gesture) then when he called the insurance apparently she called them the day after she passed and didn't mention to him not once we were there for over a week. My dad found out my step-mom left all the insurance to her mom and nothing to him, he was/still is extremely crushed by this he said it like the past 15 years they were together meant nothing and her last wish was to stick it to him. (He is going to go into griefing counseling) her mother is NOT speaking to him now won't return none of his calls.
*Singing* I can see clearly now the rain is gone, its going to be a bright.... BRIGHT.... bright sun shinny day!
