It is sad. But I see where they might be coming from: What are you to do with a person who hoards nasty experiences with his family? I Houston, I understand what you mean, but not sure who you think is the Hoarder in this case. The father that died, or the child" who is so hurt or resentful they wrote this? It reads to me like both held onto their negative, and even horrible experiences.

Sorry Anon, I am having trouble with the quote feature. I was refering to the Dad creating these memories. That some people exclusively choose to create negative memories all day long, 7 days a week about every thing for the duration of their relationship. They never say anything nice to their kids. Everything the kids try to do, say or accomplish are honored with a negative putdown. There are no nice memories, just bad and worse. The parent is not capable of "cleaning" up their act. Much like hoarders that cant stop shopping or are not capable of cleaning up there home.

Why is this one any different than the one the kids wrote for Martha Stewart's sister? I get that one was very negative and one was very positive but in my opinion both families over shared. I think it's because we have this odd thing in our society to not speak ill of the dead. So in the case of martha's sister it was a positive reflection of her life. This is not. I think they both over shared, but I also prefer to grieve in private. I don't like funerals or wakes or obits. I also think that you shouldn't have to suddenly feel sad a toxic person is gone from your life forever or pretend in their death that they were not horrible people. But I don't think it needs to be a matter of public record either.
