Just to add insult to injury this week, after months of my brother pressuring me I reached out to elderly extended family. "You don't know how long they have left! You'll regret it". yeah pretty confident the conversation was more upsetting for them than cathartic. I stopped calling cause every time I spoke to them I needed a drink afterwards and this was no exception. They don't want to know what my direct family did, but they certainly wanna make me feel bad about it. Then I had to call my bro and be like "Yo, they dunked on me and kind of slammed you too. They're upset and pissed off at us and genuinely cant understand why we would turn out back on FAAAAAAAMMMILLLY"
