She tried to tell me what to do. When I didn't listen and do it, she said I would never amount to anything. Surprised her and retired a manager in the DOD. After my divorce from her daughter she said on her cancer death bed that she now realized I was ok and not the lies of her daughter. This was told to me and my wife of over 45 years by my ex's TWIN who was the only one of the two to help care for their mother. I really loved that woman. History now.
