In What She Feared Were Her Grandma’s Last Minutes On Earth, Her Grandma Said Some Super Nasty Things To Her
A young woman was raised by her grandma, but that didn’t automatically help them to have a close relationship with one another.
Growing up, her grandma was always so selfish, controlling, and abusive. Her grandma would routinely freak out on her if she couldn’t manipulate her into doing what she wanted.
Over the years, she’s grown to suspect that her grandma genuinely has a personality disorder or a mental illness, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
One thing that has been confirmed though is that her grandma started suffering from several brain aneurysms in 2020.
Since then, her grandma has had to undergo a number of surgeries that were extremely dangerous; managing to survive them all.
Recently, she began dating her boyfriend, but her grandma doesn’t approve. Although her boyfriend is a sweet man, her grandma hates him since he’s younger than she is and he did not complete college.
Her grandma got so hostile over her boyfriend that she moved out into her own place, however, she still made sure to see her grandma every week.
“…Our relationship is a little better since I’ve moved out,” she explained. “I still sought to have a relationship with her despite all, because when you come from a broken family… you’ll take what you can get, ya know?”
“It’s also like, sometimes she’ll have periods of emotional stability. We’ll watch Netflix, get ice cream, etc. and it’s nice. But last week she crossed a huge boundary that I don’t think I can come back from.”

“She had another serious brain surgery yesterday, one that there was a 50/50 chance of survival.”
Her grandma was positive she was not going to be surviving her surgery and figured this was the final time they would ever get to spend with each other.
As she sat there in her grandma’s house, watching Netflix with her, her grandma mentioned that she did not want to actually die.
She did her best to make her grandma feel better, but then her grandma said some ridiculously nasty things to her.
“I used to have a granddaughter,” her grandma said. “I don’t have a granddaughter anymore. She used to have morals, high standards, and high high high self-respect.”
“And SHAME. She would have wanted to date perfection. Not a bum like her father. Life is about choices.”
The thing is, her boyfriend isn’t a bum at all; he works a full-time job as a power washer but she knows her grandma believes that any blue-collar job spells bum.
She was so upset by her grandma’s words that she jumped out of her seat and left her grandma there.
She didn’t speak to her grandma after that, and then her grandma went in for her surgery. Well, her grandma miraculously survived, though she still hasn’t tried to talk to her.
“She knew it could have been our last moment together, and this is how she spent it,” she pointed out. “And whether she is sick or not, it doesn’t erase all the pain she has caused me.”
“I felt so much grief. Because I know nothing will change, and I don’t know if I can look past what such a huge disrespect.”
She’s considering cutting her grandma out of her life completely over this, but it’s tough to do.
Do you think she should stop speaking to her grandma for the rest of her life?
