Standing His Ground
“I am going to die within a few months, and all you care about is money!”, David exclaimed. He told them exactly what he thought of them. Even though he was currently filled with rage, the situation saddened him more than anything. How can his own parents not care about him? “Well I’m sorry David, if you do this, not only will you be moving out, but we will have no choice but to disown you”. “No son of ours would truly act like this, so don’t be our son”. David couldn’t believe what he had heard. He gently stood up for his chair and perhaps said something that shouldn’t have been said…
An Awful Outburst
“I am going to use all the cash”, David told Joan. “Every last cent will be spent before I die”. “I will waste it on things I don’t need, I will give it away, I would rather BURN it then give you or John a single penny!”. Joan gawped in shock. John stood awkwardly next to her and began to look unwell. It can’t be easy hearing such things from your only child. “I don’t feel so well”, John told the pair as he fell to his knees, ultimately collapsing on the floor. “There’s something I need to tell you both”, he whispered from a fetal position on the rough carpet.
