I used to feel like that towards my grandma, I hated going to her house. She's my dad's mom so she would always talk crap about my mom. When she did I would always say something back and get a attitude, but she would tell on me to my dad( I was about 9 when this would happen too). After that she knew not to talk shyt around me. If youre ever around your grandad again, you should tell explain how you feel. He might make an effort to change!

I only saw him/meet him that once and the first impression was trash. He visited/stayed with us for like 2 weeks. My mom and uncles would tell me to just ignore him and empathize with him because he's had very bad experiences with dark skinned people in Texas (growing up). But it was just so negative. We couldn't watch tv without him commenting on how ugly a dark skinned man was or how ugly some dark skinned women were if we were in the car. "Did you see that ugly thang?" That type of energy is very toxic to be around. I remember him telling my mom that he was proud of her for not being with an 'ugly' dark skinned man and how they made a beautiful baby (me). So it was only the factor of me being mixed because I was borderline brown skinned. He told me on the phone when I got older not to be with a dark skinned man too. The irony is he cheated on my grand mother when they were married with a dark skinned woman (who is the mother of my aunt who stayed with me and my mom recently). He also went to his prom with a dark skinned woman. He abused my grand mother and slit her neck with a gun when they had a fight and she came to California. She never saw him again. Before she died, he wanted to see her and she said she didn't even want him invited to her funeral. She never spoke on him either. She would sometimes ignore when he was mentioned.

I only have 1 grand parent left. My mother's dad but I stopped dealing with him completely as a teen because when we met and visited us, he was colorist. (as you recall, I grew up caramel/brown skinned especially because I never avoided the sun and he made me feel uncomfortable, even though he said I was beautiful and he 'considered' me light.) He was so negative against dark skinned people. Whenever all three of us went anywhere he would make a shady/sly comment. I told my mom I never wanted to see him again and I haven't. I was like 9.

I know you missed me in here. It's okay, to tell the truth... I missed me too
