My dad is about to die. My ex-wife wants to know if I need her there. This does not make sense. She’s willing to fly out. I don’t know what to make of this. I guess 33% fewer Hahnlosers.

    Go be with your father in his last moment and let him know you love him and always have and will be alright and take good care of yourself and your family.

    I didn’t get to myself. I wish you all the love and strength, it’s very hard, my sincerest empathy, friend.

    If you break it down, you really just have 2 choices here. Either your ex-wife is there, or she’s not.

    Would having her there make things easier or harder?

        If she’s genuine in her offer, and you would like her there, tell her so.

        I’m very sorry for what you’re going through right now.

          I told her about the $800 last-minute flight, and the problem solved itself. My mom has miles, but she sure as fuck isn’t going to pay for her flight, despite doing that with my most recent ex four years ago. Nichol just left everyone with a sour taste.

            I’m sorry man. I’ll say that I’ve seen your posts around sporadically for a while now since I’ve been on beehaw. I kinda have a light grasp on your situation, but I don’t know your whole story. I feel like it could have been my story too, if things had gone differently in my timeline. Im not in any kind of financial position to pay for anyone’s plane ticket or even offer any kind of financial help, but I’m pretty sure we’re around the same age and if you want to DM me sometime, I’d be willing to listen and help out if I can. I’m truly sorry about your dad. My dad and mom both are also having serious health problems, and it seems like they aren’t long for this world either.

            Either way, you can reach out to me and I’ll provide any sort of assistance that I’m able to.

              While I appreciate the gesture, my mom had 300,000 Southwest miles, which covered the flight. I make it a point not to ask for help unless my back is against the wall. I just hope my van is still here when I return to Texas.
