Your scenario reads more like a made-for-TV movie.

Thank you for telling us what "a normal son" would have done and for perpetuating the oh-so-cliché attorney as ambulance chaser mentality.

Regarding what I said about how maaaaybe his actions were related to some sense of letting his dad know so she could die with his forgiveness or without secrets? I mean I really don't know and was just throwing it out there.

I held my sisters hand while she died in October and am forced to relive it every day because my dad has Alzheimer's and calls me demanding to know why I haven't taken him to visit her lately. There are days when I can hardly think straight. My point in going in to that is who knows what life was like for the son. I can't have been easy for him so if and when he chose to tell his dad I would imagine it was a painfully stressful decision.

I'm starting to feel like there are so many reality shows that it's carried over into people getting a sense of entitlement in their voyeurism. Do you know what I mean? That's fine for you to think the way you do ("normal son") but don't act like it's the only possibility here... like you know what's what, I don't and you have to talk down to and correct me.
