She probably went to the funeral so that other people could see her .... doing the "right thing".

Just thinking...... that's probably why there was thunder & lightning... Fred was trying to chase her away.

Good for you Sharron! Life is too short to waste time on people like her.

You're an adult - and have the right to speak to, or ignore who you like :-D xx

Not only were you right not to talk to her, if you so wished, I hope her son felt the power too!!! :-D :-D :-D

"Was I so wrong?"

Why berate yourself over such an insignificant person Sharron.

I am sure the son knew and understood exactly how you felt towards her........and that's what matters.

Bless him. <3

No, you were right to do as you did..............from your description of her, if she was upset, then it is a drop in the ocean in comparison to the hurt she has caused her own son.

It was Fred's funeral, he didn't like her, she didn't like you, so she shouldn't have been there in the first place.

As I always say Sharron. Revenge is a desert best served cold ;-). I have now waited 33 years to get revenge on my ex but still the opportunity has not arisen. YET !!!!.

As you know, there is a personality disorder running through my mother's family,Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which boils down to extreme selfish cruelty, usually directed at one hapless child.

I have a cousin who is about twenty years older than I am and her children are of a similar age to myself. My mother was cruel and selfish but this cousin was more physically violent, especially to just one of her little boys. No amount of disapproval by the family seemed to deter her and I have seen her bullying and laying into him all through my childhood.

This son is now dying of cancer very bravely I might add. He has contact with her as he says she is still his mum. I especially invited him to come to the funeral because I wanted to see him. I have not had anything to do with her n years, have even stood behind her in queues without her bothering to look at me and that is how I like it!

She turned up at the crematorium having seen the announcement in the paper. She tried tocollar me and be friendly in the crematorium. That illicited a very curt hello.

Afterwards she was waiting to come and talk to me when she saw and maybe heard me tell her son I would not talk to her. She was very shocked and could not even understand why, she said, but she went off home quite upset!

Fred didn't like her, said she was mad,and I have waited fifty years to get a poke in at her on behalf of the boy I so often saw treated inhumanely!
