That was amazing to listen to. What if you screen grabbed your Dad's last response and used it as a email signature for an email to him and all your siblings saying Happy Memorial Day? XD

Is it possible to try and find some family (outside your siblings) that might be willing to talk to you about your Dad. At one point I realized I couldn't trust any stories my Mom had told me growing up, so I called an Aunt and asked her if she could tell me about my uncle that committed suicide and about my grandparents. She asked me to first tell her what I was told by my mother, so I did, and she was horrified. So she really opened up to me and I got a completely different story from her.

FM used the word "irregardless" in his email. This is my pet peeve.

IT'S NOT A WORD! AND IT'S ABHORRENT THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT!

it kinda sounded like FM wanted Ken to do a video chat, like on FB messenger or zoom or whatever, to make sure he could see no one else (Keith) was in the room and no cameras were around. He knows what one is because the Malley Kids wanted to have a big video family chat. I say do it. You can just record the convo with your phone/computer , whichever one you didn't use to call.

edit
this reminds me that I DID, AT ONE POINT, think Keith was exaggerating his dad just a bit. 3 or so years ago when Keith said he would NEVER get his family tree filled in. I think it was after a cousin death? or was that later? Either way, I was sure that, as a HUMAN who didn't HATE his son, he would give them the easy answer of his brothers' and sisters' names. MY FEEBLE MIND COULDN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND that he was a sociopath and probable murderer.

Maybe I thought Mama Malley could get the info out of him or know it herself. But she would have had an additional 2-3 years of knowing she'll never get an straight answer from this man.
I wonder if it was her Alzheimer's that had her not answering about her own family tree or if he infected her with being a grump or if he made her cut ties with her family (or if they did with them because he was a fucking asshole).

Keith should send a Father's Day card with $50 and say this is the $50 that was lost in the mail. Calling your son a dumb son of a bitch isn't very christian of you Mr. Malley. Tsk tsk.

I've always hated that "word" as well. it makes no sense, what is wrong with regardless, it's a fine word. It doesn't need to be butchered into a nonsensical word.
