Question by Ganip: Family does not acknowledge beau’s death, how to cope?
My family will not acknowledge my beau’s death. It’s been two years since, but at his death my brother actually said his death was “insignificant”. When asked why, he said it was because I was always trying to break up with him over the 20 years we were on/off. My beau killed himself after a long struggle with drugs and I couldn’t handle it anymore. He wanted me to care for him but I care for my mom who also takes meds for a broken back, so I knew he would steal them. So he killed himself and I’m left with so much grief, guilt and disappointment at my family’s lack of care. When he died my mom told me to “just go back to work”. There were no hugs, no “I’m sorry for your loss.” Nothing. He was a very good, kind person who always helped others. I’m at a loss why my family treats me so badly. I take care of our mom with a broken back with a full time job and get no respect for it. They knew my beau had a drug problem, but he also helped them immensely. He was an engineer and extremely gifted at repairing anything. People took advantage of his generosity. People assume that I must have a drug problem for being involved with him yet I rarely have even taken an aspirin. I’ve never done drugs or rarely even drink alcohol. People are so stupid and unkind! Especially my own family!
