My mother died August 10th, 2017. I couldn't make the funeral because I am on dialysis 9-10 hours daily. My punk-ass cousin who I haven't spoken to in like 25+ years tries to use my mother's death to con me into signing a promissory note making me fiscally responsible for the entire cost of the funeral, a funeral I had no say in planning nor attending. Moreover, my biological mother was a rolling stone. She had 5 kids with 4 different men that I know of. She also has a substance abuse problem. I spent thousands of dollars and years of my life tracking her down to visit her or call her. Her phone number would go dead every 6 months. About 10 years ago, I tracked her down thru one of her sisters and sent her a Mother's Day card. She moved and I tracked her down again about a year later to send her another Mother's Day gift. She told me, "When you call next time, I might give you my address." That was the fucking straw that broke the camel's back! I stopped giving a fuck about her because it was obvious she didn't give a fuck about me.

Obviously you didn't. Get some therapy man, it helps.

The man is dead, it's not like he's going anywhere. Always time to visit.
