MRS FRANCES THANK YOU FOR CARING AND FOR MY DAD!!

It has taken me 40 years to post anything about my departed husband-James Joseph Martin. Jr. . Had he lived we would have celebrated 40 years of marriage today. To ,read some of the posts here would make you think these people loved him. His son, sisters, cousins. They didn’t. Maybe because of me. I don’t know and neither of us cared. we welcomed his son and grandson with opened arms. But it wasn’t enough. His son chose his aunts over his dad. One thing James said to me when we got married was “You married me not my family”. I knew then that I had chosen right. In a desperate state he asked his son to send him some money but his son kept him running in circles saying he had sent it when all along he had not, When Jimmy realized that he vowed that he was through with him. And when I tried to encourage him to take his calls he would only get upset with me. He made me promise not to tell anyone he was dying or when he died, I defied that and told his son anyway. I was threatened by his sister and his son with phone calls to learn about how he died. I refused. Camille, I remember when you hung up on me when James asked me to call your mother to find out what she wanted with him. Asking me who was I. I wasn’t family. God knows I’m glad I wasn’t a part of such hypocrisy. His brother Ronald was the only one who said if that’s what my brother wanted then you’re doing the right thing. He probably never told them that, however. At any rate we survived 29 years of marriage without any of them. I wish Donna was still with us. I would have loved to have gotten to know her better. She was ostracized as well. But he must have cared for her to continue to try to have some sort of relationship. May she rest in peace. So to all of you with your sad stories after his death it was too late. You should have just kept those lies to your selves.
