I wasn't going to post about this but I need to as kind of an evidence of the bullshit we've been putting up from my family.
So one of my uncle's on my dad's side called my mom today. We haven't heard from him in MONTHS since my dad died. He promised my dad he would help us (on my dad's fucking death bed) and two weeks afterward he was gone. He called a few times since then, but very rarely to actually help. He's never cared, and the entire time he was here he hit on my mom and told her she should date A WEEK AFTER MY DAD DIED.
Now, he's always hit on my mom but RIGHT after my dad's wake was pretty fucking gross. It made me despise him.
But today he calls to inform my mom he has a new job! He makes $1200 a day! How fantastic! Oh, right how are you? Oh you're doing shitty? My mom has been looking for a job for ages, and he suggests she apply at TIM HORTONS. Not that I look down my nose at those who work there, but for my mom? That was just a REALLY low blow. It was like saying you're useless and can't get anything else. He said some other really horrible stuff (you k now, in that nice helpful way that is supposed to sound like you're being helpful but really you're being a giant dick.) to her that made me so furious. I was swearing and cursing and I honestly wanted to pick up the phone, call him and just RAIL on him. My mom did not deserve to be treated like she was lesser, like she deserved less. And he didn't fucking care, he didn't once treat her like he genuinely cared about her problems. The ONLY reason he called was to gloat about his new job.
When she tried to talk about her life, like he was, he made up some excuse and hung up.
It's so fucking despicable, that the next time I see him, I am honestly going to tell him to fucking get out. If he calls, I'm going to take the phone and hang up on him. My dad is dead, and his brother deserves NO PART in our life if he's going to treat us that way. He's being a useless, unhelpful dick and never once cared. SO GTFO Uncle Steve, you are the biggest pile of shit I know.
