Dear Mike Cares, what advice would you give this tit for tat twat?

DEAR MIKE CARES: I recently spent weeks caring for my mom in hospice. I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. I had announced to family and friends her choice to enter hospice. They knew her death was imminent. Being the last surviving child, it was up to me to arrange her funeral. Everyone, including my friends, asked me to keep them informed as to the service date and time. As soon as I posted the funeral information, the excuses started rolling in. People I had considered close friends and family who supposedly loved my mother came up with a dozen different reasons not to attend her funeral. I took stock after Mom's service and realized I had attended all the bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, funerals and graduations, donated to the school fundraisers, bought their Girl Scout cookies and listened to their litany of woes over the years. At the most horrible time in my life, they chose to leave me alone. Then it struck me: I really have no friends or meaningful family. I feel abandoned and angry, and I'd love to tell those people how I feel. What are your thoughts? -- DEVASTATED IN DENVER

DEAR DEVASTATED IN DENVER: Oh, I know your type..Me, Me, Me.  You "spent weeks” caring for your mom in hospice, what did you do show up and watch her sleep or read her the books you were already reading? I guarantee you have “no friends or meaningful family” because you are one of those annoying people who want everyone to tell you how great you were to family and friends over the years and how wonderful you are for holding your mother’s hand during her last breath and arranging her funeral. If you ask me, I’d say your mother’s choice to enter hospice was to get away from you and since you still wouldn’t leave her alone, taking her last breath was her only option!  I don’t know who feels freer your mother or all the friends and family that can finally block your number? Good Luck and Keep in Touch! Dear Mike Cares is also on X, Instagram and Facebook (whatever they are.) For more honest advice, email me your stupid questions at DearMikeCares@gmail.com
