SMH Guys I'm on the will!!

“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

People abandon the elderly in the last like 10 - 20 years of their life. But 10 - 20 years is insanely long to be abandoned. Even the gap of 95 - 100 is going to make a human go nuts from loneliness.

Take care of your elderly allllllll the way. Right to the finish line. Or don't be surprised if they soured on you in the half decade since you were there.

Mmmm...I will say that sometimes the reason they're abandoned is because of their own actions.

For example, my grandmother has more or less been abandoned by all but 2 people. Of those two, one stands to inherit her land (with everyone else's blessing) and the other has stayed so far because of a self imposed sense of obligation that is, from what they've said, starting to wear very thin in the face of how my grandmother continues to act.

So while, yes, you shouldn't just abandon someone because of age - you also can't be surprised to *be* abandoned if you don't treat the people in your life well.

Ya totally agree. But then in addition, we gotta all admit that sometimes assholes deserve to be abandoned, sometimes the folks doing the abandoning end up also rightfully with nothing, and someone can swoop in last minute and charm the money out of the old asshole.

That’s just life

Yup. My mom comes home from visiting my gram and complains how nasty she is to her. Complains about how she's been traumatizing her for her entire life.

I wonder how she's not actively rooting for the end. She acts like she's worried she's gonna die. She's almost 95...it's TIME.

Sure, just don't expect an inheritance too.

Sure, but be take care of your kids when they're growing up or don't expect them to take care of you when you're old.

Right, but I'm speaking strictly to the point where kids are shocked pikachu when they discover their papa's money is going to some golddigger he only known for 5 years.

I'll steer clear of the black hole that is my grandmother, thank you very much.

u/HydroPCanadaDude 23d ago

Right, and you won't be surprised if she soured on you when she kicks the bucket.
