I think the icon says it all
or maybe "Fate can kiss my ass" would be a better epitaph. Good grief why are people "all ate up with the dumbass"? (phrase jacked from Nick, the latest round of crash's guyisms.)
I wonder how many people would be pissed off (enough to try hunting me down) if I just skipped town out of wtf-ville and well, did whatever it is people do when they bail on ridiculous bullshit that surrounds small towns and small minded family crap. *sigh* It seems to be a popular trend as of late... :o( me is the sad, & grumpy, which the grumpy is nothing new. People tick me off way too easily nowadays. Maybe they didn't before when I was young, and didn't know any better? *shrug*
Crikey though. Ok, so here's the drama: The cousin, who lives w/my grandmother, has been planning on kicking her/the house/the cars/my uncle currently living with them/everything else to do with this hemisphere to the curb in favor of moving to the Phillipines with his wife, (who's from there.) We found out about his foolproof plan to get them out of the house on Sat, (besides the other plans of - applying for a loan to take over the house using my uncle's name & possibly my grandmother's, accusing them of stealing hurricane FEMA money from him & threatening to sue them, trying to get the insurance company & FEMA to buy him out, trying to get the place condemned...); the foolproof plan was amazingly simple: He stopped paying on it in August. wtf? Oh, it gets better - he also stopped paying on the car they're using. Ok, now don't get me wrong, I know to an outside perspective, that sounds like they were using him for stuff, but let me back this up ok? In the ten something plus years he's been living w/her, (b/c he moved in as like a senior in h.s., back when all she had was a one bedroom unit of a duplex), he's gone through a Scion XB, a Hummer H3, a Blazer, an Envoy, a Saturn, Scion XD, and a 300sx. Not wrecked one of them, he's just been a dumbass and kept cycling them over and their debt. Right now he has the Envoy, the Hummer and the 300sx. Ok, now add to that a chest freezer, stove, and a commercial grade riding lawn mower. Come to find out, he's borrowed against the loan of the house for god knows what, but as I've heard it, it's inflated the loan from 19 to about twenty-six or so. Lotsa grand-age. Meanwhile, my grandmother continues to be on the same fixed income she has been on since he moved in; my uncle is on disability. Are you getting the picture? It's ugly, huh? My grandmother's been there for him through the end of high school, the marines, a horribly dislocated knee, a plant job that went horribly wrong, his psychotic marriage and countless other crazy situations, and now?
Now he's planning on bailing to the Philipines, just up and walking out on everything and leaving everything to be somebody else's problem. (Don't you love that when people do that????)
I know for a fact that I couldn't live w/myself knowing that my grandmother was out on the streets. (My uncle's a prick, so forgive me Lord, but fuck'em. Now that he's divorced, he's found himself a gf in China and is planning on visiting her in Jan for two weeks, except he's not really planning on coming back. :P) Of course, I'm all out of brililant ideas (used up my tokens for the month.) :P There is a good chance I could get a place w/her at one of these subsidized complexes around the town of Bay, which is actually not something I'm against at all. My parents, specifically my mom, are adamantly against her moving in w/them. GAWD - I tried having this conversation w/her and it got all kinds - ALL kinds of fucked up. ALL kinds, no - you don't get me ALL kinds of fucked up. Like wtf was in my tea, I feel like a sofa, fucked up. *facepalm* Where are all the normal people at? Guys, send me a frikkin' smoke signal or something, I'm a damn good stalker/tracker. You shouldn't wonder if you were adopted at 27; it's just wrong.
Mom's attitude is that my grandmother has brought this upon herself, basically. She said that she tried to get her a "cottage job" years ago and that my grandmother refused and gave all these excuses about how it wouldn't bring in any money and that she was too busy doing other things, and if she had taken it she wouldn't be in the situation she is in now. She would've been better prepared. Paraphrase?: "I have no intention of taking care of his family." I was like, well what would you do if it was your mom? (remember, denise is still over here in reasonable land, where the crazies don't cross the river, eh?) Ok, ya need to sit down for this one, really - she said that she would hand her a gun and show her where the bullets were. (go ahead, pick your jaw up off the floor) B/c midwesterners would rather die than be a burden to their families, and when you become an adult you take care of yourself. (D, I don't think we're in Normal anymore) So, (upping the ante cuz fuck it, let's see how deep the crazy goes, eh?), what am I supposed to do thirty years from now if you're in the same position? Just hand you a gun and say go have fun? "No, you won't have too." Jeezus, Christ on a Crisket, how did I get related to these guys?
Of course, I was going through that entire conversation thinking, oh there are NO parallels whatsoever between your life and what you're saying about her, mmm? O_o So that's great though, my mom's idea of retirement involves ammunition. She's like one great cause away from being a terrorist. :P
I wonder what my dad thinks; he's been rather mute through this whole experience so far. I think he's a lot bit shell-shocked. I know I am.
Oh and my grandmother probably wouldn't go to church w/me if she lived w/me b/c "...she just stopped going years ago. She would take your dad and uncle to church when they were younger, but when they got to be around 13, she just stopped going. Their dad could never figure out why." Omg, no parallel whatsoever. :P So basically the momster is of the opinion, let them eat cake.
How can you be like that? How can you just walk out on everything ? Am I the only one on the planet who is sick of the apathy? The callous bullshit people pull on one another in the name of that sacred cow, "It's not my problem." They like to hide behind it and suck on it, pretending that other people's problems don't affect them. It must be fucking great to live in a self-absorbed bubble. *taps glass* What's it like in there, eh? Oh that's right, you can't fucking hear me! Let me just wave my arms and we can pretend we're dancing, around EVERY issue.
How can you live in that fog and believe that? She was there for you through all those things and now you're just casting her aside? What about family & respect? To go over there - time zones away from any kind of aid? Is that trust or just outright foolhardiness?
How about you? How can you read the bible every night and yet flout suicide as a responsible decision? We are not talking bankruptcy here. It's disturbing you'd even go there.
How can you get pissed at me for this? If you were in my place, you'd be doing the same thing. (though your LJ probably wouldn't be spelled as well, lol) If your pet psychos were acting like that, you'd react the same way. You'd be angry and calling in miracles too.
sigh...
