stupid holidays
ugghhhhh christmas. i tell everyone that christmas is a low key holiday in my family, which is true. but somehow i always forget that mental illness likes to make special guest appearences, int he form of my father's youngest brother.
my uncle is bipolar, however very few people in the family have realized this, my uncle included. instead of doing the whole therapy and meds thing he found some weird religion a couple years ago which has "saved" him. so his weird religion dictates that there is no christmas, so as a result he gets a little...mmm..how shall we say...interesting...around christmas. we invite him over and he wont say yes or no he says "maybe" and pouts and makes weird comments to me like "well if i come over it will only be to see you". so then when he does come over once everyone is kinda tipsy (oh did i mention he did a stint in AA??) and i'm not totally paying attention to him i feel guilty when he whines about it to my father two days later.
he has always done this to me, acting like seeing me is the MOST important thing to him and then i always feel weird. we've never been that close but he acts like we are. i just don't get it.
this is all a shining example of why i will never EVER bring a pisces into this world. they're too fucked up.
