Counseling

For the 8th time in the past 3 years, mi famillia 'thought I knew' when another family member died. And of course, this is only after it comes up days-weeks later in casual conversation. Father thought I was joking about the fact that my cousin's sister would 'forget' to tell the family if she died. As he proceeds to speak of her in past tense i actually have to ask. The result being '...yea. That happened a few nights ago.' Oh, is that all? Well, thank you for the notification. Glad I didnt miss anything huge like some paint drying on the wall. People in this family really need to go back to school for training in how to communicate...work on that a little.
