My mother and father's families live 14 hours away. I've seen them (at most) once ever 5 years. -- this is maybe 5 times in my life. When I do see these people, they are rude and hateful towards me just b/c our family is the only one that lives so far away!! They don't have 'control' over us like they do the other grandchildren.
Also all of my cousins were raised Catholic. My sister and I were not- we don't believe the same, have the same traditions, god, faith, etc. So a Catholic service will be very uncomfortable for us.
Grandmother may pass in the next few days and I really don't see any need to go to the service.
First off, I can grieve and mourn her loss w/o being there. I have my own faith and traditions and I don't need to be there to do that.
Secondly, I don't want to deal with the 'drama' my relatives will cause. -- which is just 100% garunteed to happen.
Thirdly, My mother and I Do NOT get along.
W/o mentioning religion, what are your thoughts, all things considered?
