Blooie, his family was so dirty to her. Things got so much worse. She would not listen to any of us telling her that they were doing her dirty, and we were afraid of a lawsuit, if she didn't quit with the coulda, shoulda, woulda's.
When things got really bad, she fled to her youngest sister's house. Her youngest sister has earned the title of Evil Queen too many times to mention, and in too many ways to list. The Evil Queen assessed the situation, and was the only one able to get through to her sister. When the Evil Queen assured her his family was the enemy camp, and to treat them as such, she half-heartedly listened, but she did change what she was telling them. She stopped with the coulda, shoulda, woulda's.
Right before the funeral, the confirmation came. His immediate family had taken over all the funeral arrangements. We considered that a good thing, since the grandfather owns several funeral homes, and cemeteries, and my daughter was not mentally able to handle it all. They excluded her from everything. In fact, she was not even mentioned as his wife, or a survivor in the funeral notice(s). They kept telling her they didn't know when the funeral was going to be held. When it hit the internet, we got word to the Evil Queen about it. The Evil Queen prepared her sister for the blow. She didn't go to pieces.
The Evil Queen strategized about how they would proceed, and attend the funeral. None of his family had ever seen the Evil Queen. They did not arrive together, and the Evil Queen stood outside with them, smoking, until the funeral. She was intelligence gathering. She did good. No, they didn't have a legal leg to stand on, so they could not sue my daughter.
My daughter was not allowed to sit with the immediate family in the family section. When she came in, the front pew on the other side was available, so she sat there. Suddenly, his grandparents came, and sat with my daughter. They were followed by his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Lastly, in came the Evil Queen, to sit by her sister. His immediate family was left sitting by themselves. After the funeral, all their friends, and family, other than his immediate family, went to her to express their condolences to my daughter. It went well.
The funeral brought a good bit of closure for my daughter, and helped her begin the healing process. Now, with time, and counseling, she's doing so much better.
