Til Death Do Us Part
My grandparents’ divorce — I refused to help them with it or get involved. I think my only advice was to burn all of their possessions.
It was truly awful. It went on for at least four years. My grandfather was a shopping addict and hoarder and my step grandmother left the minute that they ran out of cash.
They then proceeded to fight about every object they had all while both being in the middle of dying.
She was dying of cancer and alzheimers and he of diabetes and kidney failure, so it wasn’t like they had some grand plan about how someone was going to use any of these objects.
They owned basically nothing of actual value.
My grandfather was just awful and wouldn’t let her go (did she know she was leaving? Not sure…) and wrote her nasty letters weekly. After my grandfather died, my family threw away or donated virtually every last hammer, hat and book they fought over.
What a waste of time and energy their whole divorce fiasco was. I’m sure they greatly annoyed their respective attorneys greatly.
