exactly.

and jenny i agree 100% about the fake sympathy. that's what it's about for me. i can't stand fake people or having to be fake. it's often confused with rudeness, but really, i just have a hard time pretending i give a shit about something i really don't. the fact that her favorite brother died at a very young age is sad, and i'm definitely like, "oh wow, that sucks" but i'm just not tempted to call her up and be like, "OMG! i'm sooo sorry, you know i'm here for you, bla bla bla".

my sister is doing that, calling her every day and i think that's a fucking joke because my sister doesn't like her either.

Reading this thread just makes me angry that your family is treating you so ridiculously.

Honestly, my response at this point would be to just stop listening and completely remove yourself from the situation. Fuck it, there's no reason for you to feel bad about any of this.

Even if your dad and sister are pissed, they'll get over it - and if they don't, I think that's a whole new level of ridiculousness I don't even really want to address.

Some token sympathy show is pretty much all that's required for the situation, and as far as you've said here it looks like you've shown that, not sure what your dad is wound up about.

you should always respect the dead and send condolences to the people who have been affected by the tragedy. It does no harm. You should not let your ego get into the way in these sort of things.

U know what’s even more fucked up? When my sister first called me, she specifically said that my dad was upset with me for not calling, and then she talked my head off for like 5 minutes until finally I interrupted her and I was like, “but I DID call her, on Saturday” and then she was like, “Well yea, he said he’s upset that you waited so long, bla bla bla” I was just like, sooo you just told me that he said I DIDN’T call, and now you’re saying that he’s mad that I waited to call. lol

My sister is just a typical ignorant, uneducated, busybody…always up in everyone’s business and stirring shit up. I've learned to just tune her out and not share ANYthing with her.

Anyway, I already made things good with my dad. I'm not calling the wife again though. her card is in the mail and I've left her 2 voicemails. I'm done.
