It's been 33 years.......GROW UP!!
Greetings,
Time for a rant.......
On the 23rd I traveled up to NE Iowa for a steam power show. My cousins were there & also an aunt & uncle who have held a vendetta against me for 33 years.
33 years!!! This is beyond ridiculous!!
Let me give you the background on this vendetta.
I was about 12 years old & my aunt, uncle & their 3 boys came down to my grandmothers house for the day. I was already dreading this visit as I knew the bullying would start as soon as they walked in the door.
As soon as one cousin walked into the living room, he flipped me out of my bean bag chair & flipped the TV from the Olympics I was watching to his game that he needed to watch.
The other cousins just laughed. I went upstairs to my room. My uncle came upstairs & literally dragged me down the stairs telling me "you need to be sociable & not selfish."
I sat down on the couch & started crying from the pain that he had caused. My aunt came in & told me to grow up.
I quietly ate thru the family lunch & then started doing the dishes that us kids were required to do except for my oldest cousin who was now an adult & was no longer required to do this dreaded chore. If one dish was found to have food crumb on it, then all of the dishes were put back into the dish water, even ones from the cupboard.
After the dishes were done, I proceeded to get ready to go to a friends house for the rest of the day. I was told I wasn't going anywhere. I did everything that was expected of me. I finally yelled "I wish you would all leave, I'm tired of this!"
They proceeded to pack up their belongings & my uncle turned to me & said "I will never forgive you for this."
And he hasn't. Even tho he went there probably hundreds of times after I moved out. He kept me out of my grandmothers house (even tho I had her permission to go in) to get my things that I had left behind & he proceeded to throw away & destroy.
My cousins have reformed & are very nice to me now. My aunt & uncle continue this vendetta that has lasted over 33 years.
Its just amazing how family members can do this to other family members.
