Family Scapegoat Black Balled by the Family and Newfound Happiness

Ok. Good. Then this is an even nicest touch from you, in a way... Something permanent for your cousin, who was nice to you.

If they had invited you to the funeral, would you have gone ? In the viper's nest ?

You have pointed out what one of my friends did: that there will be a more permanent memorial to my cousin at his home. This is probably more fitting, as I am the type of person you can count on. I try to remember people who are grieving over terrible losses for years and to comfort the grieving when everybody else has forgotten them, and they feel very alone in their grief.
I am not going to the funeral. It would be the lion's den/viper's nest for me where I would be scapegoated by narcissistic family members.
