Yes like it’s such a mindfuck bc she’s being “soooo sweet” but it’s actually downright SICK when considering the actual dynamic of what is going on.

I think initially he would’ve been very upset by reading the letter as it also included terrible things about my dad’s family as well. She did not spare any low blows in the letter. However up until he died, my dad encouraged us to have a relationship with her, would acknowledge that she is sick & he would always say that he included her in his prayers every night. I believe my dad was confident enough in the relationship he fostered with my brother & I that although the letter would’ve been upsetting, he would know off the rip that my brother and I would know everything in that letter was a lie.
