fuck sakes you know, I was going to come but forget it, saves me the trouble. I don't even understand why there had to be a stupid ultimatum power play over this. Grandma was essentially dead once her mind was gone anyway, just took a while for her body to go too.

Just fucking go.

I'm dreading having to fly back over when my family starts dropping off. If it wasn't for my little brother and sister I'd cut off contact now.
My grandmother barely has a year left with all her illnesses, and I fear it'll be a chain reaction.
>>39459182
no.
she wanted an answer immediately and she got it. I knew she wouldn't like it which is why it made no sense to press me on it. The conversation was longer in real life and I actually did warn her that if she wanted an answer right now, she could have one, but it wouldn't be the one she wanted.

I hate people like that anon but her mom did just die. Maybe she was just stressed out and acting more cunty than normal.

nah, this is not unusual. another reason why it's weird. It's like she hasn't learned that if she goes for the ultimatum, it guarantees I won't listen.
I just don't like ultimatums, but at least sometimes it makes sense to give them, but this one was completely nonsensical. She'll spend thousands of dollars that goes to waste on these stupid schemes, like on plane tickets. She called me once saying she wanted to go on a trip, and I said don't by me a ticket, I don't want to go. So she bought me the ticket and then called saying that I had to come and it wasn't refundable.
>bitch, I told you not to buy it, so my sympathy level for this isn't that high
>>39459516
maybe your mom's mind is going too
>>39459547
doubtful
unless it started going twenty years ago
