What a horrible thought---being ghosted by your family until 2034!

I have 10 years to get the entire divorce settlement to my ex-wife.  At the time she left (the most recent one in 2023) she was my sole family member.  My parents (both only children) have died, I have a brother who's institutionalized, and no one else except her.

 

She's been ghosting me again during the divorce process because I'm angry.  She doesn't like me sexually, and isn't interested in my mental health issues or anything else.

 

Not the best family on the planet, and actually, I could argue that it's the worst.  I have no heirs, or ancestors…it's me.  Into eternity.

 

Even the wiped out families in Gaza tend to have more than one survivor, and, like me, I imagine those destroyed family members still on this planet are raging mad about their situation.

 

I reach out to you from my business class seat as I fly across the country to NYC.

 

So, 10 years of ghosting.

 

Here's what I wrote to her:

 

The last date in our settlement agreement is 10 years from now!  You undoubtably will feel exactly the way about me you do now in 10 years. I'll be 79, sending you a final wire transfer, and you won't respond because it's all just about the cash and your fears and I broke a dish or whatever.  I just put that date in Outlook. 2034!  What a waste. We did ok together despite our massive mutual shortcomings as human beings. Really. We were better than anyone would have predicted. Good for us.  Banal, you in particular, but we survived for 28 years.  I funded the enterprise and have no ROI.  Just $4.9 million due, if it takes me the entire decade.  I can save a lot if I pay you off earlier, but I don't have any cash left!
