Hereditary Traits.
As predicted my mother took the libery of selling my grandmother's old house, forging her name on all the documents and pocketing every last dime to buy a few more acres of swampland for her goats. The only part that offends me in this is that by doing so she has condemned my ailing grandmother to spend the rest of her days in a trailer house adjacent to my mother. My grandmother has hated my mother since I was five years old. She has a long list of reasons, too, even longer than my own, if you can imagine such a thing. No one should be forced out of their own home and into the care of someone for whom you have a mutual death wish.

The thing that is making my brow furrow right now, though, is that I am wondering if my mother actually bothered to take my grandfather's creamated ashes out of my grandmother's closet first and took them the Veteran's graveyard & the burial site there that he earned back in WW2. Knowning my mother it is far more likely that she just tossed them into the nearest garbage can. Yes, that is exactly the kind of person she is. Always has been. Now why my grandmother insisted on keeping them in her closet for long is beyond my understanding. Perhaps she just couldn't stand the idea of being seperated from him, but it would seem odd that she would carry so much sentiment over this man when she spent most of her married years in a constant state of adultry with various biker gang memebers. Oh well, women are insane and men are just plain stupid.

"The Devil possesses the broadest perspectives for God, and consequently he stays so far away from him." - Nietzsche

Still, should I actually outlive her, I can add some gravel and water to her ashes and use the resulting concrete to fashion myself a rather durable toilet seat.

Wow, your mom still hasn't figured it out? No wonder why you've hated her and told me stories of how bad of a person she can be. Sorry, man.

The only thing that she hasn't figured out is that I have been seeing right through her thin veil of "compassion" from the get-go. She claims the reason my grandmother is there is so that she can watch over her. The reality is so that she can sign her name to all her possessions, sell them off and then pocket the cash. Heck, she's been pocketing every dime of my grandmother's "veteran's widow" pension from the Army for several years now - each check to the tune of over $1400 a month. That's $14,800 a year of the last six or more years, on top of the $40,000 she stole from me when I sold my house and the estimated $80,000+ for the entirety of what my grandmother's house was. Plus the $170,000 she got for the beach house. Keep in mind that she has never paid a dime of rent in her life: My grandmother paid all her bills for her until she was 33 years old. She even bought the house that eventually became mine so that we'd both have a place to stay; the same house I kicked my mom out of when I turned 21 and my grandmother signed it over to me. At which point my mom immediately moved in with her 2nd husband to the house that his parents bought for them. So all told my mother has ripped the rest of us off for over $350,000 in the last six years alone, probably closer to half a million over dollars over her entire life.

The only truly remarkable aspect of her greed is that she has nearly 20 years clean & sober with NA. So what the fuck does someone need that much of money for if they're not supporting drug habit? We can only wonder. She lives in a trailer out in the swamps of Florida with her husband and their goats, so she has less to show for her self than I do here in Detroit while barely scraping by.

Then again, she is a Leo. I think that can pretty much explain everything, actually.

I usually never reply to things like this for fear of saying the wrong thing, or the inadequate thing, but god, I can't not reply. I'd hug you right now, whether you liked it or not, and we all know how much I hug people. Not that it would do anything, really--beyond express the fact that this whole situation/entry makes me sick, and although I've been privy to snippets here and there over the years but have never pressed you on it----Christ.

Seriously.


Fuck. I'm so, so sorry.

You better outlive her.

I intend to outlive her if only to make sure I don't end up in a garbage can, either.
