People you won't miss when they are gone.

Reading through the thread on worst things relatives have said to you made me think about how you feel about people after they are gone. Most of the time people seem to get canonized with death - everything they did is shrouded with a sense of the important and you reflect on how much you miss them. However, there are those other people who are a burr under the saddle of your life. My stepfather (ex - now that he divorced my mother after 30 years when she had Alzheimer's and was in a nursing home) is one of those. He was in his mid 40s when my mother married him - homely, dorky, a nasty and petty personality and completely without redeeming qualities other than he had some money. My mother was a real looker and had men lining up at the door and no one could understand how she would ever go out with him. She told me he did not have an ex-wife or children he would have to deal with. Small comfort since he made her life (and all around him) completely miserable. A pall would come in the room when he would come in it. I had to start dealing with him head on when taking care of my mother's affairs and got a face full of what she had been dealing with for years. He had beat systemic melanoma back in the 1970s and then got MS and has been quadriplegic for a number of years. My mother was afraid if she got a second divorce she would look like a trollop and she taught children's church and was afraid it would be a bad example for the kids. I bet if she knew she would precede him she would have divorced him back then. He just lays in his bed now and screams at everyone about how they are not doing their job. I finally got fed up to the point that I cut off all contact with him a couple of years ago. He still tries to make contact with me occasionally and I will feel guilty but not guilty enough to make me see him again. I guess he is in his own living hell of being 76 years old and quadriplegic and evidently going to live forever.

I would hate to think that when I died it would be a relief to people but I can't think of one person that will miss him. Anybody else have anyone like that in their life?

1. The list is LONG

Reagan and Nancy, The entire Bush family, The DeLay's, Gov. Perry, Karl Rove and all of Bush's Cabinet - - - shall I go on?

2. I got an aunt just like that

She is a real selfish witch. My grandmother made a substantial fortune in the stock market, but my aunt got a hold of the money and gave it away to TV Preachers and she cheated my dad out of his fair share. There wasn't one TV preacher she wouldn't give money to!

Every time she called me, she started with the religious shit, I told her that it is bullshit and I will not listen. I sent her a Harry and David basket for the holidays, she called me back and said how un-Xtian it was. Everything I did for her was "un-Xtian", so she can just go CENSORED herself.

Now she lies in a nursing home unable to do anything, nobody in the family is near her. she still watches the Jesus TV 24/7 but now that she is on medicaid, she got no $$$$ to give to those god-damned crooks.

Oh, By the way, she is STILL one of those brainwashed Nazis who beleives that all blacks and latinos are on welfare and the world would be so much better if the churches took care of the needy. I remind her that her so-called church ain't given her a CENSORED penny!
