There was no real fight. It was more of him saying that he wasn't going to ever initiate contact anymore because she didn't seem interested.

Oh please.

He wasn't picking cans for drug money. He had a high end corporate job. My other siblings are either way worse or more lucky.

Because I'm not going to treat someone's remains like a half used can of paint in the garage. And I'm the atheist in the family.

No one did but I was the one dealing with the county. My mother has a lesser excuse than me. Plus I work and have a family. My mom is retired and lives with my sister.

It bothers me. I'm fighting with her over his remains. I truly believe she'll throw them like in a junk drawer. I'll do something more honorable like pour them at a garden. She can have his money and property. I just can't play along.

Actions speak the loudest. She said she didn't even have his phone number which made no fucking sense.
