A friend of ours has found out that their mother has kept it from all of her children that she has stage 4 terminal cancer. A few months?  Instead of making her peace she has created nothing but a lot of stress amongst all those close to her by sending the most nasty and hurtful messages. 

To say she has always been an angry person most of her life and has been quite nasty is an understatement. But seems to relish in playing games about her will and who she leaves it to changes on a daily basis. Some of them are genuinely concerned about her comfort but at an already upsetting time she persists on making chaos when she goes. She has either gone completely mad but regardless we saw some of those messages and she is lucky they are even looking after her. 

I can understand that people get angry and frustrated when they are diagnosed but this person is not young and this could have been prevented but they have known about it but did not want any treatment and now taking it out on their children. 

We are now supporting the children who are grownups
