I shall call her Sheila, and he Emmanuel, because those are in no way their names so if they ever read this they can't really sue me.
Dear Sheila,
I realize that you still blame me for reporting you to the state for medical neglect, even though I didn't report you and you were totally guilty of medical neglect, for the time you joked on facebook about how your diabetic 4 year old's blood sugar was in the 400s and it was so cute that he didn't understand why he felt sick while you didn't take him to the hospital, and then followed up with the fact that you were told by his doctor to take him to the hospital at 300 but just wouldn't. Yeah, that happened but I forgive you. For the accusation, not for being an awful mother, but we'll let the state handle that. Anyway, about your dad.
He's a vagina. Sorry to be blunt but he's a big weepy ball of mess. I understand that you hero-worship him in a way bordering on creepy and West Virginia, and that he's totally the most wonderful man ever to gut animals for fun, but he needs to stop blubbering on my mother about my mother. Seriously, you cannot call someone who is scared for her life and bawl incoherently into the phone about how scared you are for her life. This isn't about him, and she had about a million more important things to focus on than making him feel better. Give him a xanax, tuck him into bed (because I totally believe you do that already) and take away the cell phone.
Also, I text. When I get news about mom, I go through my phone and send out one update to about half a dozen people. If Emmanuel doesn't know how to text, or can't afford to text, then he doesn't get updated. Not just because he makes me want to punch him in his weepy face, but because I simply do not have the time to call everyone who wants updates. I am not going to tell a brain surgeon to hold on while I call your father. Not gonna happen. Because I'm a bitch that way.
So, good luck with the whole reverse Oedipal thing, and the son you'll make blind before he becomes a teenager, and I'll text you updates if I feel like it. Or not. Whatever.
Love,
the black sheep

It sucks that you have to deal with shitty family members while dealing with this horrible situation. Remember that you have every right to stand up for your Mom and piss off anyone that needs to be put in their place. Is there a way to have his number blocked on her phone? One big difference between you and I is you don't worry about rocking the boat and I always was afraid of upsetting anyone. I finally got over that and have stood up to one particular member of my family. I am here as a sounding board if need be.
