Justin's father had lost his battle with cancer, and sadly passed away. Conflict ensues between Justin and his mother regarding funeral arrangements, which led to her showing up at his home unexpectedly, while Sarah and the kids are sick with the flu. Tune in to find out the details.
Thank you all so much for your kind wishes, caring thoughts, prayers, and continued support 🙏 It means a lot to our family, and we truly appreciate every single one of you, especially our Love Withstanding families! We love you!! ❤️❤️❤️

All of the abuse from the parents all of those years and then expecting you (the abused) to pay for your Father's funeral is outrageous. You are a good human, Justin, and a great son. God bless you during this time. As adult children, we grieve even the most narcissistic of parents. You are a wonderful son. I remember the death of one of my parents who was narcissistic, I took care of them while they were dying and, like you, dutifully took care that they were properly buried. You cannot help how you feel- forgiveness will come. But don't be hard on yourself- I also shed no tears and was shocked by my emotions. Be blessed and at peace. Did I say that you are a good son?

You love your parents regardless. It appears you have no clue about parental love. They are narcissistic parents who cared for their kids who now have careers and their families. So what have you done to make your generation successful, Ms. Know-it-all? Quite frankly, you may be the narcissistic one instead of Justin's parents.

Such a tough position to be in. It’s a cultural expectation that he has to fulfill. Some of these cultural traditions are responsibilities that one is born into. Unfortunately in situations like Justin’s and his family it’s complicated… Most cultures believe that one can get their blessings in life by fulfilling them and also at moments like this one is expected to put that aside and rise above. Shocking and sounds narcissistic to someone who may not be from a collective cultural background. I feel for them.

Perfectly stated! But I do believe he has forgiven his family, since he continued to try to introduce his beautiful family to his sister and parents. I also believe he understood that there were other issues at play with his parents (on the mental side of things). The mere fact that he can no longer be manipulated by them, shows he is willing to give from his heart and what he deems fair. Shows he is exhibiting some protection measure in place. So I am sending you all the love and support you need. I continue to pray for peace and well being.

Honestly there is nothing wrong with not crying. People emotionally respond in different ways. Considering the abuse from your parents it is more than normal to not cry. Forgiveness comes when it comes as the journey of grieving different people differs person to person - so don't force it, just do it when it feels right.

I’m so surprised that the family is expecting him to pay for the funeral after so many years of treating him badly and also after suddenly changing the plans to a casket burial (much higher cost) with very little notice. I’m so impressed by the kindness shown by this couple towards the family who rejected them and treated them so, so badly. I’m praying for their hearts and healing.

Asians expect the oldest or only son to play a big role when the father dies. It's quite normal in Asian culture and the responsibility usually overrides any past drama or anyone's feelings as the duty comes first. Having said that, his mother sounds really unreasonable and mentally ill tbh.

As an Asian, I am surprised but respect your bravery - to see how this topic was broached in a factual manner. Family makes use of the (adult) children in different ways and justify their decisions and own bad and narcissistic behaviour/abuse by yelling, shouting and shifting blame. For one person to pay for the expenses is not justified and totally infuriating. You are not an only child. Especially when they ostracised you and your family openly. I am in a mixed marriage and have gone through similar experiences and understand what you feel. Condolences to you all the same. You are a good and fair person and you will be blessed 🙏🏻 Forgiveness is your call - no one can tell you how to feel and process your grief. You do you and you have been a fantastic human being.

First, I'm sorry for your loss. GOOD FOR YOU to talking back to your mom! I'm Korean, and if it were me, I'd take back my $6K and disappear. It's ok. You don't owe her anything. Doesn't mean you hate her or anything like that. Doesn't mean you're a bad son, either. You were NEVER a bad son. Remember that! It means protecting yourself and your family from an emotionally volatile person. From one Korean to another, please at least decenter her from your life. There is no guilt to feel because you didn't do anything wrong. No need to be mad about it either, just no longer placate to her. It really does not benefit her, either.

Depends on the relationship you and your parent had.When my father died at 88 years old,it affected me so much,he was kind,humble,always positive and was always happy to see his children and grandchildren,and also very cheeky and funny,grief hit me hard! When my 90 year old mother died,yes I was sad,but mostly for her,she was the complete opposite of my dad,she was very cold and didn’t show any emotion towards her children or grandchildren,she was negative,finding fault in everything we did,was never interested in us only herself,so it was completely different. But one thing I did when she was still alive was that I chose to forgive her,not because she apologized but for my own peace of mind,it wasn’t easy but until I understood why she was the way she! She grew up in an abusive family with alcoholic father and had never felt loved,so she couldn’t give what she didn’t have herself.. Much healing to you!

Her arrangements were most definitely like buying a refrigerator, I will never forget your analogy. I do not feel any guilt whatsoever. I loved her, I respected her, but at a distance. And that's okay. Please do not feel guilty over being desensitized. It is justified. ~Blessings

The refrigerator analogy is spot on. I was there when my father passed. Planned the whole funeral, organized and took care of Mom's finances. He passed 6 years ago on December 8th and I still haven't cried for him. I talk to him though and tell him all the reasons I'm still mad at him.

The pain your dad has caused you is immense and real. He has hurt you and your family and I think most people wouldn't have intense emotions about losing a father that has caused you so much unresolved pain up until his death. You however have made yourself in to a stand up man and have forever changed your bloodline. You have children who will understand the unconditional love of a father which you were not shown. You have a lot to be proud of and I hope you know how incredible it is that you have been able to overcome the pain your parents have caused you and create a strong loving family. Your grief may be the grief that your father is no longer here to change and make amends and that's a hard thing to grieve but knowing that you never gave up is a remarkable accomplishment to stand on.

Your parents broke the parent-child contract when they decided to pick their ego over their child's happiness. You can't shed any tears because your body senses this and can't fake it. You owe them nothing. You are being very fair and caring for helping with the funeral arrangement and that is not because you owe them anything, you are doing it because you have a heart and are a caring person. My deepest condolences goes to you. Please take good care of yourself. You have been a fantastic son to parents who did not deserve it. You have your wife and kids to look after and they will love you till eternity and that is all you need

The tears will come, Justin. Please let them flow when they do, it is vital to healing.

@Navyman825 6 ай бұрын

What you are doing is natural. My uncle owns a funeral home, in summers I would work there to help out with things. There is always that family member that is not very emotional but the strong one that makes the decisions, and that is seems to be you. So don't think you are wrong in that, you are not. It is your way of processing. Work on that forgiveness and take it one day at a time. A death in a family can bring them together but can also tear some apart. I always thought it was amazing how different people react and how people can show their true colors about things line finances and things like that. I agree the burden of cost should not have all been on you. Hang in their Justin and Sarah.

My deepest condolences Justin to you and your family! Your mom coming over to your house was awesome. I’m glad she came and in her way said sorry. That she immediately picked up the baby was so sweet! I do hope the relationship continues to improve.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I understand when you have parents like that it’s hard. It’s never easy. So sorry you had to go through that during a difficult time.

My condolences to you and your family. Regardless of how you feel, it is your feelings...and I imagine that the hurt overshadows the happy times and now the grief. My favorite quote is "Have courage and be kind". To me it works...and you guys are doing it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Deaths can bring suppressed feelings to the surface. You are a good son. You and your wife are good, forgiving people. You deserve the very best.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You are a good person to volunteer your assistance,both financially and emotionally to your vindictive mother.

First, I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Justin, I want to thank you and Sarah for sharing your family struggles around (re)establishing connection to your family. Through your honesty and disclosure of what you’re thinking and feeling, you are helping others who are going through similar situations. Other commenters said this, but there is no correct way to grieve. Your way is the right way. Family relationships are complicated, and over time your feelings about everything you’ve gone through with your parents will become more clear. I hope you take some comfort in knowing that because of yours and Sarah’s grace, your father had the opportunity to meet and spend time with your children.

Oh Justin and Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. We all grieve differently and it's ok that you haven't cried. It may take time and it may hit you when you least expect it. You may express your pain differently, such as; getting angry at the dumbest stuff, withdraw from things/people you love, become spiteful, start doing extreme activities, etc. Just know those changes can be signs of your loss and it's ok.

Justin, grieving is different for everyone - how you do it and how long it lasts. If you cry it's ok. If you don't it's ok. Just make sure that you take time to process what has happened and talk to someone if you seem to be stuck with forgiving and getting past his death. Prayers to you and the family.
