It's ridiculous how men think their kids will give a damn about them when they're old and sick.

So today is Orthodox Easter, and I was on a 3 way call with my dad in Florida and my aunt in Greece. They call each other and catch up on what is going on. By the time I answered, they were already talking. From what I understood, my aunts ex husband was not doing well and he is in the hospital. I never met him, so I don't really know him. They divorced over 20 years ago because from what I heard, he was awful and drank. He didn't support his kids when they asked him or anything. The doctor asked my aunt if she wants to see him and she said she can't. She asked my 2 cousins if they want to see him, and they said that they don't want to see him in the hospital, and want nothing to do with him. I don't blame them. My aunt said "Όπως έστρωσε, να κοιμηθεί" which basically means "He made his bed, now he can lie in it". Good. Whatever he did, he deserves to suffer the consequences. And men say women will die alone 🙄🙄🙄

Edit: I talked to my dad yesterday and asked him about it. He said my aunt and her husband never really divorced, just separated. He drqnk and abused my aunt for a long time, but never said anything. My dad said her husband was afraid of him, because he probably knew what would happen if he found out. Anyway, turns out he had a stroke and is not really aware of what is going on. We're expecting him to kick the bucket any day now. Either way I never met him and don't give a damn. His side of the family can deal with what happens after he dies. I know my aunt a d cousins won't be shedding tears. The only good thing about them not divorcing is that when he dies, my aunt will get his social security (or at least their version of it...not sure how it works in Greece). So I guess he was good for something.
