A little backround. My parents divorced after my father was caught in the sack with a gal renting a mobile home my parents owned. After the split, my dad and this gal married. She hated my mother and helped my dad screw over my mother when it came to child support and alimony. My mother and this gal also had the same birthday, December 24th, only 15 years apart. In 1989, at the age of 56, my mother passed away, her cause of death listed as lymphoma. It wasn’t till after my mother died that we realized how bad my mother was screwed over. The house my mother was awarded in the divorce still legally belonged to my father. To avoid a nasty and expensive lawsuit, my siblings and I accepted a fraction of the value of the house as part of the dispersal of her estate. Since then I have spoken very little to my father and even less to his wife. I refuse to accept her as a step mother.
Today I learned from a niece that my dad’s wife passed away today. I called my dad’s house and talked to my father’s sister in law. My dad is on his way to Phoenix, that is where is wife has lived the past couple of years while my dad lived here in Washington. It seems things haven’t been all that nice between the two for many years and that the living arrangements were mutual. They hadn’t seen each other in over 2 years. She was 56 years old and died of lymphoma.
