My uncle is my dad's brother. My dad.died when I was nine and my mom who tried to kill me and my brother and sister various times got custody and my life became hell until I was 14 or 15 and my sister got custody of me. My uncle knew my mom had untreated
Schizophrenia (and the man is/was a psychologist for Pete's sake) but he never thought to call and have child protective services look in on us? Then right after I graduated college, I took care of both my grandparents. What did he do, he filled out the medicare/ medicaid
forms for my grandpa and helped Grandma buy car.that was helpful, but it was one or two days out og his life. I took care of Grandma and Grandpa for about 8 years. After Grandma died, he basically took everything that he could possibly take with him that was worth money or not nailed down. He only offered me the things he didn't want. His wife even took Grandma's bottle of nexium. Then things got really nasty. My grandparents half the house to me and half to him. I.was so.exhausted, I had.been
waking up every three hours to turn Grandma and give.her pain meds. My whole life had
become taking care of my Grandparents. When I was at work, I was thinking about them, on the way home I would stop at the Alzheimer's unit where Grandpa was and help him eat his.dinner. when I slept I was listening for.Grandma so she wouldn't climb over yhe bedrail and fall. Then I had to quit my job. My uncle rarely called during those years to check.on his mom or dad.but after.Grandma died, boy did he want his half of.the house. Seriously, this man can work for a collection agency he would be great at it. I admit, I had a breakdown, I was in no shape to make a decision about buying or selling the house and I was married to one.of the most controlling men in the universe that made it almost
impossible for me to get a mortgage for my half of the house. Oh and guess what??? After
I got him his money he never wrote or called or emailed unless I initiated it
As far as being a good uncle, I give him a D+. It would have been an F- but he have me a stuffed koala one Christmas that I named Sidney and a book called, the Cat Ate my Gymnsuit. Oh and he produced my most awesome cousins. They are just beautiful people and his.wife is a.neat person also.and tonight when I accidentally called. Jom like at 2am his time( I was hoping it wouldn't wake him up so disconnected while ringing ), he called me back to see if I was ok. His voice sounded so good.
Sigh
