The woman who was my step-grandmother sent me three birthday cards this year. On one hand I think what she did (changed my grandpa's will so she was the sole beneficiary. that money was supposed to go to my cousin, who needs care his whole life) is unconscionable. On the other hand she was around during some very pivotal and painful parts of my childhood. I've seen what Alzhimers does to a person. And this looks like something under that umbrella
A very spiteful part of me sees the irony in this and is greatful we're not blood. A very sorrowful part of me says that no one benefits from this, least of all someone who made my grandpa's last days a little more comfortable. And a very very small part of me wonders who else she is reaching out to like this, or if I'm alone
