More dead mother-in-law shenanigans
So as most of you know, after years spent dealing with personal demons, Jesse's mother died in August of 2007 from septic shock. (To be quite brutally honest, she committed suicide; it just took a year and a half for it to happen.)
Anyway, her funeral was a fiasco. Her bad boyfriend claimed to be married to her, halting our abilities to make any plans for her and entirely took all that over. Rather than fight him, we let him do what he wanted. We paid for the cremation and burial services -- she already had a plot, we just had to have it opened. We had a private memorial service without him or his crazy friends at our house the day after the funeral, and that was totally healing.
Since then, he has made two overtures -- for cash. He wants us to help pay the funeral costs. So he's sent 4-5 page letters, telling us how horrible we are, how hard his life is, and then demanding we split the costs three ways (between Jesse and his sister and the crazy guy.)
We have not responded to any of it. The latest letter, from September, implies that he'll take us to court over it all, but I don't think he has a leg to stand on -- he signed all the paperwork, not us. Plus, the guy has three active cases in the court system now, mostly over bills he can't pay, so I doubt he wants to really incur more legal expenses.
Last night, he decided to prove how sick he really is. He forwarded Jesse and his sister emails that their mother had sent to them years before -- including one that seems to be about Jesse's first father's day. He's attached little notes, writing as if he's their dead mother, begging them to come see her, that it's getting cold.
How effed up is that?
The worst part, is that we can't do one thing about it. Jesse MAY have the passwords to that email account and he's going to try and shut it down. But, I know that's not the last of it.
As I say in my facebook status today, I just wish some people could fall off the face of the earth.
