My empathy is generally pretty low to a point where I sometimes wonder if I have any at all, but then it spikes up dramatically when I see someone (esp. animals) suffering due to injustice.

TW for mentions of death and abuse ahead

Anyway, my grandpa is dying, and I can't even pretend to be bothered. My BioMum is quite upset bc of this, and honestly, I don't know why.

He was literally evil. He cheated on his wife by sleeping with teenagers (as a family father with teenaged daughters), he was a violent, sadistic and hotheaded tyrant. He would severely abuse his kids, physically and mentally (e.g. forced my mum to kill her pet bunny when she was a kid, and cooked it into dinner, serving it without telling her what it was until after dinner).

And now my mum is upset for not giving a shit about him dying? She even talked about him being in heaven with Grandma soon, and I couldn't even hold back my laughter because what????? The woman he cheated on and abused for years who never entered a relationship again after she finally had enough courage to divorce him?????

Genuinely can't wrap my head around it.
