She had to take a night job after my dad died, and the first time she introduced me to one of her coworkers, he said, “so I guess I’m gonna be your new stepdad hahaha.” I know it was a joke but WTF. This woman is grieving her husband, I’m grieving my dad, and the dude thought that was in good taste? Then she told me the other night that a week ago one of her clients asked her out but that she’s done with men for the rest of her life. Considering she has cancer (albeit with a good prognosis), and if they knew, they’d go running for the hills; good for her. In addition, as much as I loved my late stepdad while he was alive, he financially abused her, unbeknownst to us. We didn’t find out until after he died that he stole her identity and took out 13 credit cards in her name without her knowledge. THIRTEEN. She was married to him for 23 years and bore two of his sons. I don’t want to resent him but I can’t help it.
Poor woman got fucked over. But as exhausted as she is these days, she says she’s relieved to finally stand on her own two feet. I’m proud of her.
