My SIL's SM is on her deathbed
My brother's wife is the youngest child of a guy who has been married 4 times. I will refer to her as daddys little princess from now on (she's 29 by the way) BM3 is her mom and he's currently married to SM who is dying of cancer. She has her own kids from a previous marriage too. BM3 never remarried and is insufferable and obnoxious. SM was a firecracker and had her obnoxious moments as well (dad has a type). When I met her she introduced herself as "the evil step mom" and I said "hey me too!"
Everyone is an adult and daddy's little princess is the only kid that had an issue with SM, all the older kids had been through a remarriage already and SM was a vast improvement over BM3 who did not get along with the other kids at all.
This past weekend the dad hosted a open house for family to spend some last few moments with SM before she passes. Kind of a morbid party because she will go any day now. Her kids and 3 sets of step kids came.
Daddy's little princess cried a single tear (can't mess up the makeup) while telling me about how awkward the party was going to be and how sad it was to try to get sympathy.
Later she posted pictures with the caption "get together with the fam!" She was smiling and posing in all of them while everyone else looked somber. No mention of the intent of the get together She did combos of her and her half siblings, and her dad. At the end of the photo set she had one pic with SM in it looking horrible, and of course daddy's little princess was smiling huge. This is the one and only pic she has ever posted of her with SM.
Hardly anyone likes or comments on her posts anymore because she is like her mom and insufferable and obnoxious. The only comment was from BM3 who said "<3 lovely picture." Gag.
BM comments the same thing when daddy's little princess posts old pics of BM3 and dad together even though they haven't been together in 20 years and he is remarried.
The poor SM, spending her last moments with a crowd of stepchildren and the youngest SD gleefully posing and smiling. I'm sure when SM passes daddy's little princess will milk it for attention when in life she never had a nice thing to say about SM.
I thought about commenting "don't smile too big" but the blowback my brother would get from her isn't worth it. Everyone ignores her antics other than her dad and BM3.

Oh, brother
In a way, it seemed thoughtful to host this open house to give all a chance to say goodbye. But, yes, I agree it must have been an ordeal for poor SM. At least now she can go in peace. I can only hope she was very doped up for the event, that's what I'd hope for.
Princess has made this event about her, she'll do the same at the funeral. These self-centered folks are all the same.
The idea was dad's idea and
The idea was dad's idea and well intentioned. I hope she was doped up as well.
I've attended more than one funeral for my side of the family along with Daddy's little princess and each time she has gone all out to dress up. She showed up late, wore a mini skirt and flashed her panties at my grandfather's funeral. I'm sure she will do the same for SMs. I hope the other kids support their dad through this because she definitely won't.
im surprised SM allowed that
I would have thought she would have wanted only those that truly loved her around. But she probably thought "hey maybe this time together will bring everyone together".
How wrong she was, but now she probably doesnt care she has bigger things on her plate.
Sounds like she is too sick
Sounds like she is too sick to object.
That poor woman around an
That poor woman around an adult Skid like that.... Jesus.
sad
Being put on display in extremis in front of a gloating Princess would have been a huge invasion of privacy for me if I was SM, but maybe I'm weird.
just my loved ones thank you
that would NOT make me a happy camper. Plus I would want to be sitting on a beach somewhere not on any bed awaiting my demise. Shoot me full of morphine and let me bliss out on nature...
I want to go like my GrandDad went.
He was 85, changed the transmission in my GM's car, went to bed that night. Got up the next AM and had breakfast with my GM, decided he needed a nap. Went back to bed after breakfast, and had a massive brain embolism rupture in his sleep, never felt a thing.
Did what he loved to do, had breakfast with the love of his life, and passed peacefully napping.
