okay, I will try to answer questions that were posted as best I can. here goes...
I have no clue why he is so angry at me or why he lumped me in with everyone else. I know there was some stuff going on with his immediate family, but he never directly said he had a beef with the rest of his relatives, including me!
I will include our correspondence (email messages) over the last year. [in fact, outside of the ones posted below, the last email I got from him was dated 12/22/2015! - and I don't delete emails]
He didn't specifically say 'I have cancer' and his exact wording is below. I assumed that is what he meant. I even sent the wording to a person I know who has had cancer twice - she agreed that is what the wording was hinting at.
I am WELL aware that people can't force other people to be friends with them, sadly! and you may be right, the cancer might be part or most of this - the timing would maybe suggest that.
that's the strange thing - there was NO falling out between my cousin and me, at least not one that I'm aware of!!!!! there was no hint of this anger at me the last time we conversed. that's why I'm so confused. I don't understand where this is coming from -- unless it really isn't meant towards me, but instead it is towards someone(s) else.
Is it legit?! at first, that is what I was thinking, sad to say. there was a part of me that wondered that. but until proven otherwise, I was tending to believe what he said.
and I will say this. I have no idea what goes on between him, his dad, his two brothers (one is married and has a 2yo girl), and his mother. his parents divorced many years ago, like 15-ish. his mother has lived out-of-state for a few years now, oldest brother was like an hour away, dad was three hours away, and other brother & family lived two hours away. I don't know things about that family unless I'm told it directly by one of them or I overhear someone else talking about it. I can say that his oldest brother did just move 'out-of-state' to live with their mother, that was the end of july I believe. (does that have something to do with this, who knows...maybe)
and my relatives don't talk with me much. I'm sure that's mostly cuz of my MI and the fact I'm not glued to social media crap (like facebook, twitter, pinterest...)! so I don't 'hear' very many things.
we did send a few texts back and forth but it's probably been more than six months since that. and even so, I don't have the memory to remember what he said.
