And because of that, her grandparents have not been forcing her to visit her dad since they understand the severity of the situation.
“But, it’s upset my dad that I don’t want to visit him, even though I explained that I just want to spend more time with my mom,” she said.
In fact, just a few days ago, her dad and stepmother actually showed up at her grandparent’s house, claiming that it was wrong of her grandparents to stop encouraging her to visit her father a few times a week.
She is obviously sixteen now, though, and knows that her mother does not have much time left. So, her grandparents told her father that she could make her own decisions and underscored how she has every right to choose to be with her mom more right now.
For whatever reason, though, her dad just did not understand that. Instead, he actually brought up how his visitations were a part of the court agreement.
So, her dad claimed that if she did not start visiting him, he was going to take her grandparents to court.
The idea of dealing with even more drama amidst her mother’s declining health was obviously far from what she wanted, though. So, she told her dad off.
“I said that if my dad made us deal with family court while my mom is in hospice and we are just trying to spend as much time together as possible, I would never forgive him,” she recalled.
Then, right after she said that her stepmother decided to butt into the conversation. But, all her stepmother did was accuse her of being a brat for trying to “guilt trip” her father into letting her off the hook for his visits.
Her stepmother also tried to claim that they “understand” she wants to spend time with her mom, but apparently, that does not mean she can just stop seeing her father.
So, ever since that argument, she has been left feeling pretty torn about the situation. She did not think it was unreasonable to want to spend time with her mother during her final days.
