Really, I'm so tired of it. 7 months of it and I'm ready for it to be over. We were doing just fine, Grandma and I, without their bullshit. (My aunt and her son who are dating.) So, anyway, my aunt is losing her apartment. She's being kicked out and has to leave tomorrow. To make matters worse she's being forced to attend AA & NA meetings, therapy, her car was reposed because she hasn't paid the bill in two months despite it almost being paid off, and she's been arrested several times and been in several car accidents (All of which were her fault as she was drunk.)
I would help her and let her take the basement-apartment but you know... she punched me in the face out of jealousy. Any chance of me doing anything for her was nixed when that happened. Grandma said "But what about your mom! She'll be homeless too!"
"My mom is a grown woman. Isn't that what she tells me whenever I need help or whenever I request she help someone else? That they're grown and they can solve their own problems? Well, her, Chad and Janna are all grown adults and I'm not going to baby them especially after everything they've done to me. They can rot and fester in their own filth, but they're not living here. And you can tell Chad that if he's going to keep up the emotional warfare on you that he can pack his shit and get out of the house or I'll pack it for him and he best hope it's not on trash day."
Well, Grandma made the mistake of getting her heart strings pulled a week ago and told Chad that if Janna were to ask her specifically if she could move in temporarily that she would consider. She admits she was wrong to suggest that as even being an option. Chad calls, she tells him that, he starts yelling at her.
Mind you all, this is the man that both said "Mom, how can you choose a stranger over your own family? (Referring to me.) and made a big stink about me not respecting him and my family. Well, after an hour and a half of him and grandma fighting he ended it by saying "If you're not going to help me I might as well drink myself to death or commit suicide!"
Which I'm sure hurt her badly since her middle son committed suicide with a shot gun. How low can you be to say that? His daughter (12) asked me today to request that her father leave because he was being mean, hurting grandma and she didn't want him in the house anymore. I told her not to speak about her dad that way, because even if he was still being mean he's not the enemy here.
Anyway, yeah, that was super long but the end result is that she's not moving in and my mother abandoned her and went back to Michigan. Pfft, so much for that bond.
