Well, I've come to trust the guys here in this forum because of what appears to be genuine concern for people. You all have my respect and now I guess I need your guys' advice before I burn up inside out with deep feelings of hate.
I've known the father of my friend for half my life. I act as if he's blood although we are not, I call him uncle. He now is losing the battle with cancer after putting up a good long fight. I saw a good strong man turn into a frail shadow of himself in mere months, and I am deeply saddened. I stopped by my friends house today, and my uncle didn't recognize me until he was told it was me. Then I remembered something my friend told me about what a "friend" said.
He said that one day, while at the mall, he saw an old "friend" of ours. This "friend" knew that his dad was sick with cancer, and that he was losing. This "friend" then cracked a really bad F*UCKED UP joke. He said "Is your dad an invalid like in that one movie?" then proceeded to make moaning and groaning sounds and motioned as if he were an invalid, and started chuckling. He said this to my friend and his brothers face.
I feel like pummeling the living daylights out of this b@stard after today. But I think that going to prison for battery is not good for my health. But I also do not want to ignore this kind of comment. So far I have told myself that whenever I see him again, I will DEMAND an apology. If not then I will tell him to break paths with me and never speak to me again. I think that if he is a true man and "friend" he will apologize. No apology will ever make me regain his trust ever again. I don't think I'd ever want to have anything to do with this "friend", but this is based on a principle of honor.
I just need to know, would simply walking away from something like this only leave things unfinished, or is there something in this country that I can do? I am genuinely ashamed that this sick individual was ever known to me as a friend, and I am ashamed that I placed enough trust in him to let him know secrets about me. My general feeling is that while God almighty may forgive him, I certainly will not. After making a mockery of a deathly serious situation and a good man, may he rot in Hell.
