I woke up this morning to a massive migraine and M telling me that Grandma (My MIL) called was trying to get ahold of us and we were not answering our phones. It was 7am.
I go wake up hubby and he calls his mother. The BIL had sent a text to both of them at 4 am threatening to kill himself. Because of all of this. This being the drama that he continues to create. Hubby tries to call him after talking to his mother and of course does not get an answer. After leaving a message he gets a text from his brother saying not to panic that this was just his normal morning ritual. WTF!
I climb back into bed while hubby calls his mother back and try to pass out. I dozed briefly and wake to hear her reading the appeal again and asking questions again and again and again. We have been through this so many times now it is nauseating. (Not that the migraine helped that) It is after 9am when he finally tells her he is done and hangs up.
Hubby texts his brother back apologizing again, for the umpteenth time, and says he is available for a phone call if he ever wants to talk.
A short time ago hubby receives a text from his brother blaming him for not telling him sooner about their parents divorce 40 years ago, he was 6, and saying that their grandmother deserved to know that M was a pedophile while she was dying of cancer in a home during Covid.
He has lost his mind.
I simply cannot understand what is wrong with these people. Are their lives that empty and boring that they need to create drama? If they really felt that M was a "danger" all they need to do is not engage with him. Instead, they keep this thing going. Are they not Christians? Do they not understand forgiveness? Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers? And M did nothing to them.
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone already suffering with cancer need to be told about a legal issue of any kind? One tries to prevent stress when others are ill. And what about your husband? Why does his brother not care about his health? So many questions.
My BIL claims to know Jesus, but no one has believed that for a long time. His wife has never professed faith. We think they have a demon in them.
DeleteForgiveness is not a word I think they understand. I have washed my hands of it. There is nothing we can say that will change anything. They honestly need a come to Jesus moment!
Honestly I think Mamaw would have forgiven and loved M. But we did not tell her because it would have only caused her stress and sadness and she did not need that.
They seemed to care when Hubby was in the hospital, but of course it is only about them since he is home and doing well. It is all about them.
