It concerned a 30-ish woman who hated going to family reunions because Grandma always talked so highly about Grandpa.
Except granddaughter says Grandpa molested her.
She wants to reveal the truth to Gramma so bad, but Grandpa’s dead now. So should she hold her tongue and let his spirit live on, or should she spill the creepy beans for her own catharsis.?
To tell you the truth, I don’t even remember what Abby said.
Is that really the most difficult question Abby ever faced?
I’m not sure what you’re asking us.
Interesting dilemma. Having never been the victim of such a thing, I can’t really judge just how damaging it might have been.
However, I can say that I THINK that if my grandfather had done this to me, and I was placed in a similar situation, I’d just keep my mouth shut. The guy is dead and gone. Grandma is, frankly, nearing her last days, and the revelation would probably devestate her almost as much as it did me.
Revealing it to her would just create two devastated people rather than one. And how much of a catharis would it really be?
If Grampa’s still alive, to hell with it and spill. If he’s dead, and gramma’s on her last leg, just let it go.
However, I’m wondering if Gramma had any inkling of it…
