Not my kids and wife. I'm referring to my parents, siblings and extended family.
God, where do I even start.
My mother is on a her deathbed.
My father is an alcoholic who drinks 24/7 and has no concern for my mother
My brother was given thousands to go study. Nobody knows what he did with the money and he's back at my parents' place because he also lost the job he had so has no money for rent. My suspicion is he invested in some or the other get rich quick scheme instead of paying his varsity fees and lost it all
My sister's husband left her with two kids so she's also back with my parents. She can't work else there's nobody to look after my mother. She wants me to take one of her boys and have him go to school here in CT. My wife doesn't want us to take him in. My wife is now angry at my entire family.
My cousin stole my father's house. All the years we assumed that my father would inherit the house of his parents only to realise this weekend that the will states my cousin is getting the house - we suspected she either forged the will or manipulated at least one of my grandparents to change it, but with both my grandparents now dead, there's no way we can prove it. Naturally this came as a massive shock to us because we would have sold the house or rent it out to provide income to my parents. Guess who's shoulders the burden for helping them financially now falls on? So earlier today my cousin sent me a message on FB to call her as she wants to "talk about my dad". I don't even have her number.
I made the mistake of promising my 17-year old cousin that I'll help her financially with her studies next year. So now I need to cater for that as well.
Am I the only one who feels their family is one big fcuking mess???
The last time I saw any of my family members was in 2017. I don't want to see them and the only person I call is my mother every once in a while to hear how she's doing.
