I don't know how to say this because I rarely have any feelings towards the dead. My uncle died recently and of course now there is a funeral. I don't feel anything about his death, I myself laugh at the topic tbh, not sure why. However most of my life, when I was growing up, I notice that all my relatives ignores me. When they are not ignoring me, they are taking cheap shots, sort of like indirectly talking behind your back, however they do that to your face, you know, like snipers. The problem years ago, after being treated like shit by them, they treat everyone like shit. I don't know why, but there is a real bitterness in their family, all my aunts and uncles related to my dads side are not really nice ppl. They are like demonic, none of them has any sort of religion, although that doesn't really matter. The few uncles and aunts that are not blood related seems to be religious. Let's just say, besides my own disfunctional family, this family is worst. I don't know if they were being ignored by my grandfather or maybe he ran off for a while with someone else because half my aunts and uncles are like from another mother.
My point is i'm tired of them, ever had relatives you just hate visiting because you have no choice? Think of that, yet 100X worst. They respect my brother, he is a social guy, has friends, perfect social skills, a girlfriend, a life, everything anyone could want. He was a ganster, i'm sure if anyone disrespected him, he could have them killed, even though he's legit now, quitting that stuff and really doing well for himself. I was always treated as the outcast. One time I was so ticked off by them, I argued back trying to tell them to get lost, then my aunt said some really mean shit. I decided I never want to see them again, I never been so insulted. I never went back to my family reunion for like so many years now. I never want to see them again, however my uncle is dead and everyone is going to be there. My dad usually has to bribe me to go there, he gives me a ton of cash because he knows i'm not rich. He actually bought me my i7 cpu, that's like $345, I didn't pay for it at all. However that's chump change. No amount of money will make me go back to a funeral.
What i'm asking you is, am I doing the right thing? It's not about money, it's about sending a message...everything burns. I just can't see them again, I just want to know if i'm doing the right things. Just help me to weight my options and help me rethink this. On one hand, forever the relatives will know I won't put up with their shit anymore, even if they are cremated and dead. This might not hurt these demons because they probally don't have a heart, however they might feel disrespect even for a second, to me that's worth it for all the years of insults and being treated like shit. I mean these ppl sure have some nerve. My uncle who died, there seems to be some really intellegent ppl in my family and some really dumb. He thought he outsmarted everyone, he made it to the top position for his bank. However he had hepetitis born from his mother, or my grand mother. He thought he outsmarted the world, however he can't cheat death. Am I doing the right thing if your relatives are the worst douche bags on the face of the planet? I just don't understand the concept of family.
I won't regret missing this funeral, however I think I might seriously hurt my grandmother and grandfather who has treated me extremely nice, even if they seem to treat their own family like shit. Honestly they are probally the only ones in the world who actually showed any sort of care. Damn, I really don't know, weighing my options, I don't care, yet I will hurt my grandparents the most. Help me out here, I have to make a decision by tommorrow. Under these circumstances, is what i'm doing okay? I just need some advice. I honestly would spit on his grave if I could have the opportunity. Or maybe I should go to the funeral, smile all day, dance, spit on his grave and sing alleluia. I was thinking about just going for a few minutes then going home, maybe bring a portable dvd player and watch it during the funeral with headphones. Maybe I can cause more damage being there than not being there.
i7 $450 with tax, funeral, probally a few thousand dollars, a whole pc $1300 without a gpu. Skipping your uncle's funeral to send a msg to my other relatives to know you mean business and you won't take their crap, priceless.
I'm thinking about skipping my uncle's funeral tommorrow

If you liked the uncle, or if there's anyone in the family that wants you to go, then go. Even if there's only one person who wants you to be there, that's the only reason you need.
" Antisocial personality. Someone dies and you write an essay about yourself. This isn't about you. "I think he's just spilling his guts on how he feels about the situation.
The weird thing about all of this, is I don't feel anything. I just think of all the shit my I had to put up with and they deserve this. I feel nothing, however maybe later on I might start to feel something. Hopefully not regret, right now I have no regrets. I know this might be morally wrong, however I just can't bring myself to go to his funeral.
"Well even if you aren't, I'm sorry for your loss. "
Don't feel sorry for my loss, honestly, fuck him. I hope he burns in hell.
Wow, the start of this thread sounds exactly the same as the start of The Stranger =|
I haven't read the rest.
" @ryanwho said:One member of his family was mean to him so he decided to never see any of them again. And he has to be bribed to go to family functions. And he's acting like he took a high road here turning down a bribe to go to a family funeral. He didn't. He's going out of his way to be petty. He's a brat. He took a tragic bonding situation and tried to make it all about himself." Antisocial personality. Someone dies and you write an essay about yourself. This isn't about you.

After going to my Granddad's earlier this year, I realised funerals are really kind of important. HitmanAgent47 probably can't be reasoned with here but you're a dick if you don't go.
People deal with things differently, I think what you are doing is healthy. I skipped my cousins funeral because of many factors, one of them being the fact that it was my way of accepting the lost.
IMHO a funeral/wake is for the living, not the dead. If you can't be there for family or for yourself, I say call if you feel bad about it.
Wow. I thought I was immature. Unless he diddled you when you were six you have to go. Not showing up doesn't say "fuck you" to your uncle, it says "I'm a dipshit who couldn't spend a couple hours at a funeral/burial because I'm all sorts of self-involved.."
" How old are you? I hope you're not an adult. "I think he is.. which is kind of sad. =\
How about...uh....trying to make amends with your family....maybe counciling... A funeral is about the transition from life to death one day it will be all of us and we would want people to be there. I doubt your the kind to be reasoned with because of your quest for vengeance, but it's worth a shot.
" Wow. I thought I was immature. Unless he diddled you when you were six you have to go.

"Unless it's a Catholic funeral. That's a legit reason not to go. Those things are the worst.
I studied that when I was studying psychology. It's not they use a gun, it's they insult you with cheap shots, a form of hostility.
I suggest you go to the funeral, tie one on at the reception afterwards and blow off some of that steam on the shitty end of your family. Nobody will hold it aginst you because you obviously were "distraught" over your uncles death. Plus, when you get older you can finally tell your aunts and uncles and anyone else that they are complete assholes.
Dont take my word for it, its just my opinion, I could be wrong. But it seems to be the best chance you'll get to tell your family what you really think of 'em.
P.S. Take the above with a grain of salt. Funerals are important and shitty at the same time, there is no avoiding that. Either way, you should probably go.
Honestly, I bet none of you goes to a family reunion and gets made fun of indirectly by your relatives. You would think, these ppl are demons, what is their problem? Unless you felt that, you wouldn't know. I mean I bet all you ppl have really nice relatives, only like one douche bag. Well my family, they are all like that.
I wish I understood what a normal family was like, however it's dysfunctional. I mean my relatives are worst. What kind of family is this? I don't think most of you have such lousy families. It's almost unheard of.
@Phog_of_War: They know I don't like them, for years I haven't been going to family reunions, so they know.
" This is a HitmanAgent47 thread, I think this is indication enough of how much someone should respond. Goodnight. "I KNOW!
I am thinking if I did go to the funeral, when I do that, I would regret it. If I didn't go, i'm not sure, I don't think I will ever regret it. I will have to wait and see I suppose.
