Life P.O.S. Brother in Law - Page 3

angelo · 06-29-2009, 10:00 AM

If he could have formulated a sentence. My brother in law should have written a book on how to screw up your children.

He was a dead beat, If he could hold a job long enough to earn a paycheck he would blow it on booze and drugs. His money was his and My sister was left to take care of the two kids on her meager salary. If she ever mentioned divorce he would go nuts and say he was going to kill himself.

My sister finally left him 3 years ago. He still managed to get visitation with the kids.

Invariably my sister would have to go get the kids because he would get drunk and start yelling at the kids.

Same thing happen last week except for a twist. The Mxther Fxcker tells my niece (who idolizes him as this tragic figure) and my nephew (who does everything to get some form of approval) That they are dead to him.

Once again he threatens to kill himself and starts waving a gun around.
Luckily his family steps in and takes the kids home. Then they go back to help the rest of the family deal with him.

He had thought the gun was unloaded and put it to his head.
What he did not realize was that in his drunken stupor he grabbed the wrong gun.

There was no click, just a small explosion and now there are two kids blaming themselves for this stupid asses death.

I am so pissed

Thanks for letting me rant

No kidding. This could have been much worse.

it's too bad they had to see it.

(yes, just that they had to see it)

Braincase · 06-29-2009, 12:32 PM

That's terrible. Prayers to the kids and surviving members of the family.

Not to be a dick, but how do we know that he didn't mean to grab that gun? It's not like you could ask him if he screwed up and grabbed the wrong one...

...just sayin'. There's a good chance that he DID mean to off himself...

Kinda my thought. There's really no way of telling.

Guy is (was) a dickhead that would've done far more damage long-term than this had he not offed himself. Take steps to mitigate the damage, count your blessings and move on.

This is likely a good thing for all remaining parties.

Only bad part to this story was the kids... Sucks for them.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 06-29-2009, 01:12 PM

Tape this to the casket at his funeral.

wutamess · 06-29-2009, 01:13 PM

Wait... did he do it in front of them or waited until the kids left. Did he do it when the family returned or what?

WHEN did he do it?

Wow. He was a piece of work. I feel so sorry for the kids. I hope they can get therapy. Financially, he is worth more dead than alive. Your sister should get SSI for them.

Pioli Zombie · 06-29-2009, 02:04 PM

Those poor kids. I feel for them.

This connects to Big Richards thread. There is and was NOTHING the family could have done. It was HIS disease. Someone will need to pound this into the kids heads over and over, and your sister too.

Damn shame for the kids.

**TinyEvel** · 06-29-2009, 02:22 PM

IF ANY OF YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN THIS SIMILAR SITUATION, FIND THE STRENGTH TO GET THEM HELP.

(This has nothing spoken about you, Angelo. I see news stories like this all the time, it rips me up, and I wonder "Why are they showing this?" the only reason I can find some good result is to figure people might see a pending situation of their own or someone they know. My friend's dad died, and it made me spend more time with my dad.

If I read it right, it sounds like the children weren't there at the time, that someone took them elsewhere right before it happened.

I certainly hope that is the case.

The had already been taken out of the home.

They are on the cusp of being teenagers.

I am trying to be there for them, but I have always been the disciplinarian. Their father and I obviously did not get along and they knew it. I have spent time with both every day since sometimes just sitting in silence.

I want to thank everyone for their kindness.
