What is wrong with my brother?
It is the night before my father's funeral. At 11:35 PM my brother calls me and asks if I had called and told our aunts that he was dead and that the funeral was going to be tomorrow. He must be high. That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. I guess because he hadn't thought to call anyone himself and tell them about the funeral he figures that I must be a complete idiot like him and didn't call them, either.
Every week my brother does or says something that makes me feel more and more disrespect for him. He is so inconsiderate and irresponsible and assumes that I must be as bad or worse than he is based on what he does and says to me. Can you imagine not thinking to tell anyone else in the family or any friends about a funeral for your father and then needing to call at 11:35 pm the night before to ask your brother if he had called anyone. I almost said to him on the phone, 'Are you that much of an idiot and even if you are why do you think I am?" but instead to his question if I had called any of our aunts or other family I only siad, after a slight pause, "Uh, yes."
My God, this is getting to be so irritating the levels of incompetance and iresponsability I have to put up with dealing with him. But, after a few months, the estate will be settled and hopefully I won't have to deal with him any more. It make take a few times with him bothering me but I can only attempt to get him to understand that I am not his mother and will not take care of him. I hope that it done'st take too long for him to get it and leave me alone, finally.
If I can get past this last bit, These last few months of dealing with the will and our inheratence, I pray that I can have a more worry free and peaceable life.
