I start more family feuds then Richard Dawson.
So I start World War 3 with my family. I’m all about family, but no one screws with my brother, no one. Let me give you some history without putting too much family dirt out there. My brother divorces his first wife. first wife is a alcoholic. My brother has the court take the kids from her. My Aunt befriends the drunk wife. My brother is put through hell, and at the end of it his daughter slaps in jail on trumped up charges. My brother is let go after a long investigation, and lawyer bills. The daughter at age 17 went missing. After cops spent a year looking for her, and on her 18th birthday the daughter appears out of hiding. Now my brother wants an apology, for him, and his wife. The daughters stepmother.
Now the stepmother, we’ll call Julie, has issues with my mother. She has estranged my mother from herself through her actions. Julie knows this, tried to make amends but that didn’t work out either. They were content to leave things go, and go to their separate corners.
Now the daughter, my Aunt, and the drunk ex-wife is using the hatred that my Mom has for Julie to get what they want. To cause sort of a cabal against Julie, and to disrupt the peace in my brother’s house. My poor brother who works 80 frickin hours a week to get somewhere on life.
So a few weeks ago the daughter sends a mean myspace message to Julie, which is unprovoked saying that she will never apologize to Julie, which is funny because it’s my brother who wants her to apologize to Julie. Then the other day my Aunt, send Julie an email, saying, “Even Jesus forgave the people that killed him.” Out of the blue, well Julie is upset, my brother is upset. I had enough.
I wrote my Aunt, and told her and I quote, “To Shut the Fuck Up”, and mind her own business. Now let me give you a little back ground on this Aunt, she has a selfish streak a mile long. She befriended the drunk ex-wife. They are like 2 peas in a pod. I or my brother never been even invited to her house, the ex-wife goes there regularly. My mom lays in a hospital dying, and the Aunt is no where to be found. Now after I send her a scathing email to tell her to mind her business. I understand she’s mad, and might yell at me, and be generally pissed off. Well she crossed the line and told me I should go kill myself. Nice Aunt huh?
I let her have it, and told her she was a piece of shit, and that she was dead to me. The next thing I get is a cousin, one of my other uncle’s daughter, who I don’t talk to alot calling me. My brother’s daughter calls my brother cussing him out.
As for my Aunt, I really don’t care. She can drop of the face of the earth. The only person I worry about is my mom, she’s on vacation now. When she gets home though I’m sure I’m going to get an earful. Oh dear.
Where’s that bridge, time to burn it to the ground. Flame on!

Yikes… River, I am calling Dr. Phil for you to get all of this straightened out. I think we all have our family issues, some more severe than others. I guess what they say is true… you can pick your friends, but family you are stuck with. We should exchange stories sometime.
