I got a phone call from my mother who has been divorced from my father for 20+ years a couple of days ago letting me know that she had heard from my half-brother that my dad is in the hospital and is not doing very well. He has pneumonia, his lungs are bleeding and he is having heart problems.
The problem with this is that his girlfriend called my brother and not me. My brother called our mom, not me. I am upset that my dad is sick, and I am angry that the bitch-woman couldn’t be bothered to let me know.
Now, there is a history between this woman and me. When I moved out of my dad’s house I was not able to take everything immediately, so she decided to have a yard sale and get rid of everything I had left behind. Except my jewelry box. She kept that and all my jewelry. I asked her for it back and she refused to give it to me. I asked my dad for it back and his response was that I had left it in the house so obviously I didn’t want it that much. She stole other things from me too, not just my jewelry.
Over the years I have learned to keep my mouth shut around her and not to talk to my dad about her because he takes her side every single time, and she has made it abundantly clear that she detests my brother and I. But, her not even bothering to let me know that my dad is in the hospital is unforgivable in my opinion.
