09-13-03, My husbands adult kids and his Mom and siblings and I don't have much of a relationship.Outside of his younger brother Chuck. Tom always had only good words about him. He was so visibly shaken by Tom's death. I admired his capability to cry during this time. I suddenly knew why Tom liked him so much.
I deal only with them in regards to info about the case.
I haven't talked to anyone in a year at least. I only send e-mails.
Not through any fault of their own , I associate so many people that were there with those horrible first few weeks of the tragedy.
I finally got up the nerve to call them this weekend. Chuck's got a friendly voice and he always seems to care.The other members didn't seem to care much for us before and so I am having alot of trouble connecting now . I was married to Tom for almost 20 years but his Mom couldn't bother speaking to me when I answered the phone.
I know they have pain too.
His kids ( 30 & 32 ) drive me crazy - pretty much found out his son spent
the insurance money on drugs & booze.
The daughter didn't like they way she got the money and gave a bunch away.
There's a little more coming and now they both decide they want it- but we
have a few hurdles to get through with the insurance company. Now they are
wondering why our daughter and I get more ....'cause that's the way Tom
split the money.
Now when he was alive , she constantly needed money , he
co-signed a loan and she declared bankruptcy and messed up his credit .
Thankfully my own credit was spared.
