Im so angry right now (page 3)

Es

thanks jayhawk

aninon- I know, I guess I should be happy i was told at all hey

jwdaughter- your so right, his passing away has def affected more than i would have thought.

littletoe- thanks, no not buried yet will be finding out details from my nan today, I guess i should be grateful I was told before the funeral and seeings tho my folks are overseas at the moment i can go and show my respect without feeling uncomfortable.

I know you are all right that Im lucky i even found out, its just annoying that he couldnt ring me himself after he said he would let me know of emergencies within the family. And to top it off they sent Mike a thankyou card for the anniversary present that I had brought them, no mention of me.

Its just harsh

Es, did your Great Uncle have a wife and kids....give them a call and let them know your feelings about their lose.

Es I know how hurtful that is. My dad didnt tell me my aunty (and I only had 3) had died very young and i found out here on JWD long after the event and a very long illness which I was not told about either. Same with my sister's marriage. I think the only pleasure they get is having this control to withdraw information that is rightly ours - they can't control us anymore so they will let their religion give them permission to behave in a manner anyone else would view as abhorrent.

Hugs to You Es.

I am sorry to hear of your loss

You have every right to be angry, a death in the family is obviously an emergency. Your father should be ashamed of himself, he is carrying things a lot too far on this.

This probably won't make u feel better but people out the troof can be little sods too - my hubby (never a dub, and non of his family are either) only found out his nan died from a cousin who rang him when their mom was out the next day.

so sorry for the hurt caused

avidbiblereader

I just msg his phone and said just wanting you to clarify what an emergency is obviously not a death in the family

Then you should have asked him, what do you want to be when you grow up?

tophat- no he never married he was the second last one left out of a family of 6 i think, he was my pops brother.

crumpet- its just so wrong, I cant get over how they can treat people like that, but your right about the control thing they have to try and control something about your life.

fullofdoubtnow- thanks hun, yeah after i sent him that msg he tried to call but i missed it, hope he feels guilty

mia- i just dont get people sometimes

avid-that is one awesome comeback

Good Girl or Bad Girl?

I'm so sorry, Es. Your pain and anger is completely justified. Their behavior is NOT.

PS Your family pictures are so sweet.

So sorry for your loss.

I'm 48 and already great-uncle to 10 kids, the oldest of them being 16. Two more are on the way. It's nice when us old buggers find out that we're cared about. I'm sure your great uncle would appreciate your feeling toward him.

I think the JW definition of "family emergency" is when a JW in good standing who happens to be a family member is in need of your time, money, assistance, etc. If the family member is not in "good standing" then they are merely reaping what they've sown when they have an emergency.
