Thank you.

I'm proud of myself for recognizing my boundary in the moment and leaving.

I've cooled down since then too. Hanging out at my parents helped. I was also able to process it with my Mom.

The Aunt who didn't say goodbye, sent me a text later on that I appreciated a lot, and she also said she didn't know I left.

The other Aunt, whose house I was at and I told her I was leaving / not feeling well, we talked on the phone for a little bit recently, bc I called her to talk to my young cousin (who ended up feeling better later on and going over to my Aunt's with her parents) - its her bday and I wanted to say happy birthday. Anyway, my Aunt ended up saying she thought she might know why I left and if I wanted to talk to her, I could, but no pressure, and I really appreciated that too.

Talking to my Mom, I think my uncle doesn't even realize the affect his words had on me. It was totally the definition of insensitive. But talking to my mom about this, she said that my uncle is very unphased by his son's behavior at this point - he's been dealing with it all his life, the guy (my cousin) is a criminal and addict. Doesn't make it okay. But I'm actually thinking it might be better not to say anything to my uncle about how this affects me bc I don't want it to get back to my pos cousin.

Anyway...I'm lacking anymore words at the moment. Oh, yeah I will eventually tell the guy I'm seeing and maybe his fam isn't perfect, that's true.
