sorry to hear this news. the whole situation sounds rough.
to clarify two things...
- your dad's wife said she wasn't going to call to tell you the news?
that is what i was told by an old family friend of my mom and dad. so far i have not received a call from my stepmother or her daughter. her
daughter told me she would call me when he passed (she called me friday afternoon to tell me he was in the hospital, his pcemaker had stopped and the
doctors said its a matter of time),
- the animosity would be because your mom is planning to go to the viewing/funeral, but you were not?
before my dad married the new wife he live 1/2 block up the street, he and mom got along well. he gets married and they immediately move from ohio
over to kentucky without telling me. he moved two other times without telling me. after getting with this woman he disassociated himself from me and
all his friends.
obviously, you have to make the decision hat's best for you. but in my opinion, i'd say go. be the bigger man (no pun intended. ok, pun slightly
intended.), say goodbye and put it all behind you. and if that keeps things positive with you mom and stepsister, all the better.
good luck. our thoughts will be with you and your family.
