My hubbys grandmother died, and the funeral is Thursday. We have to travel 150 miles. My hubby's parents are divorced, and this is his mom's mom. His father, however, stayed very closed with that side of the family, and they opened their homes to him on many occasions.
However, my hubbys dad refuses to go to the funeral. His excuse is that 20+ years ago, no one came to "his" mothers funeral, so why should he go to this one? Now, you have to understand, the family from out of state barely knew his mom, and probably only met her 10 times over the course of 30 years. Whereas my my father in law had a LOT of contact with the out of state family.
I think this is soooo disrespectful. Both to the deceased, to her family, and especially to his two sons (my huuby and his bro). If nothing else, he should be there for them.
Am I wrong?
I am banning Christmas Eve at their house. I refuse to go. This shows nothing but disrespect, and I can't pretend I am not offended!
