My Aunt's a really large woman and just can no longer breathe. Doctors are taking her off life support, they are going to let her die.

Her husband calls my mom to let her know the news. Mom had the fucking gall to ask about the money she was owed tomorrow.

I love my mom, but fucking Christ she can be heartless as motherfuck. I'm pretty sickened, honestly.

That's just a really shitty, awful thing to do at this time. You put a halt to everything like that, give time to play the funeral, grieve, etc. Something like being owed money takes a back seat.

Did you say something to her? Just explain to her how miserable that was to do? Sometimes people need to be told when they are being inconsiderate jerks.

Did you say something to her?

Absolutely, it was almost the first thing out of my mouth when she relayed the news to me. She sounded more disheartened that money was no guarantee, now.

Extremely large. Bedridden for years. She was seeing people in her room for several weeks, now. 120 dollars. That's it.

I'm almost at the point that I'm willing to give her the money, just so she'll actually behave how she's supposed to about her dying cousin, the woman she claimed to me for years now was closer to her than her own blood sister.

After giving her an earful she at least called the husband back and apologized.

I'm sick enough I'm willing to pay for my aunt just to shut my mom up so she'll actually mourn.

I mean, yeah, she did raise me right but I just never expected her to be so callous.

I mean women can be really particular about that stuff if theyre the accountant type, but yeah 120 bucks really doesnt justify it in this scenario.

1. Sorry for your loss.
2. Yeah, $120 is definitely something she just needs to let go. If she works, she can make that back easily.
