Ok , my paternal uncle is my dad's only brother. My dad died when i was 9. My uncle is a counselor , he has a masters degree and has had various foster kids and counseled kids and families. Awhile back he admited when he visited his parents and my mom and I
lived in same town , he realized she was schizophenic and not under treatment. Wow. And he did absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada. He didnt call services maybe to keep an eye on us. Nope. Meanwhile my sister was desparately waiting to turn 21 so she could be my guardian. In fact, she came and got me. We had no money nowhere to live but she knew i was in hell and she wasnt leaving me there.
So when i tell my uncle very little- just that i have daily migraines and there was a lot of abuse he sais, " yeah but you cant let it ruin your life." Hmmm. Let' s see. Daily migraines. Cant pass a sobriety test sober. Once police figured out i was sober, they thought i couldnt live on my own.Pharmacist knows me by name. Tried every therapy treatment out there. Cant have s*x with boyfriend. Only
Ti can afford thinks im schizophrenic but that's ok because i've just gotten to know her and now she is graduating. Barely can hold a job.oh yes, i also hear voices. Usually ok but not cool when they tell me to hurt myself. And then those voices scare the other voices and then everything is a
Mess( dont worry i dont do it but i get a headache) But yeah, uncle, no reason why i should let a little thing like this ruin my life. These are just the lemons of life from which i should make lemonade. Ps. Uncle , i hope you are a better counselor/ T than you are
an uncle because you are a crappy uncle.
