It's sickening that someone could be that selfish. It's his "fault"(not really the right word, but) that you were born. He's the one that couldn't keep it in his pants, so he only has himself to blame on that front. I feel the most sorry for your mother. She had a lot of heart ache in her adult life between less that half of the children surviving and having such an as$ of a husband, not to mention the worry about how to feed so many children. By the sounds of it, your uncles left your grandfather with the debt, because your father wasn't paying it anyways. It's weird that your grandfather was a very caring guy, enough so that even when almost going bankrupt he still did what he could to help his DIL, but his sons were all asses.
It saddens me to hear that she passed away first. Seem to be the way life goes though. The old grouchy miserable guys seem to live the longest.
For me, it wasn't my father but grandfather. My mother trained my grandfather's attitude out of my father a bit. My grandfather was an old miserable SOB. Far too opinionated and stubborn. Luckily he died before my grandmother, so she got a few years without him. She always seemed happier after he died, as mean as that may sound. My other grand father was ta very nice man. My grandmother died of cancer before I was born and he remarried at 72 a few years later. His second wife was a miserable old b!tch. She died 20 years later, and he went to live with my aunt. He got healthier after she died too, because he had been working himself to the bone trying to keep her happy. About a year after she died, he said something to my Aunt along the lines of, Shelia(1st wife's name) was a very nice woman, so at least he realized what a miserable person his second wife was. He too seemed happier.
