omimouse | I dislike family politics

warinbear's grandfather sent him an e-mail. He wants to come and visit.

The man is a known child molester.

catchild's journal holds more info on the subject.

Old New England family. He is the family patriarch. The whole family knows that he likes little girls, and most of them carefully pretend that the problem doesn't exist.

Old family, old blood, and he has the family estate. According to his eldest daughter (

warinbear's mom) who also happens to be the executer of his estate, he has a right to have access to every member of his family. Quoting: " That was a long time ago. He knows what he did was inappropriate; he doesn't do it anymore. Besides, he only did it to his own daughters, and only to make them better wives. And he has never done it to anyone else." Direct quote, to the best of

catchild memory, from four years ago.

If you do anything that upsets her, you get cut out of any will that she has any control over, and she does his books and estate for him. And not letting him have access to his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids upsets her. And she still believes that he has a right to see his great-grandchildren, even after one of her sisters sent a letter to every family member that she had an address for. Said letter was a copy of one that she had sent her father, and listed what he had done to her and to her older daughter.

Our daughters,

catchild and myself are, to the best of my knowledge, the only female family members that he has not molested in some way.

I despise family politics.

I am HORRIFIED that the will is an inducement to permit visitations among Warin's relatives. (I mean, it's gross, but ain't that pimping?)</i? i cannot speak for the rest of the relatives only kathy. i do know it is not an inducment to at least one of warin's cousins or his brother. i don't have much contact with anyone else. comes of not being willing to play family politics. the closest to political kissing up i do is i try to be polite. but then i try to be polite to everyone. not that i suceed all the time or even all that often IRL but i do tend to vent my spleen in my lj first if possible. that does tend to make it easier to be polite in person or in letter.

blast it only noel's comment was supposed to be like this
