I try not to hate him, but...

My uncle is psychotic. Idk where to even begin. He lent my mom money years ago so she wouldn't lose her house. He has brought it up to her countless times making her cry. Then he would tell us kids "if it weren't for me, you'd all be homeless."

This man is a priest!

Then when I was stationed in Illinois and he lived in Chicago we got in a huge fight because I went to party instead of see him. He fb me calling me "ungrateful little bitch." And a variety of other wonderful names.

All of my cousins think he's crazy too. And there's been plenty of other fights with him and other family members too.

So my grandma passed away in February. She was 82 and got to the point where she couldn't do anything (eat, go to the bathroom, etc). She was in pain and was ready to go. My uncle has lost it. He gets on her fb and updates her status, likes Hate Obama groups, and talks about how nothing is worth living without her. I mean he acts very Norman Bates about the whole thing. She was old that's what happens! Then he talks about his cat who died 3 months ago. "Why did God do this to me? He takes my cat Runty, and now my mother. He is punishing me."

So I have disowned him since my grandma's passing (a whole other fight we got into during the funeral weekend) and don't think I ever want to see him again.

He and my Aunt would get along well.

Sorry you have to deal with his kind of crazy. Best you can do is ignore him. He is toxic and you don't need him.

Oh it sounds like we could make a club of crazy uncles and aunts.

My Uncle gave up 30 years of sobriety to drink with a guy who has cancer. Seriously. My Dad flipped his shit when he found out.

Thanks. It gets so old and it's always something. When I was a teenager my mom would make me forgive him. But now that I'm an adult it's over. My mom still says "we don't disown people in this family." Well in my new family, we do when all they bring is drama.

I'm sorry he's being odd. If it were my grandma, I'd start reporting it to FB and let them know she has passed away. We had to do that with a friend. His psycho GF started signing into is FB page and updating their relationship status to say married or telling people off. We reported it and FB deleted the page.

30 years! What a waste. Is he still drinking?

I didn't know you could do that. Thanks!

Yep. He keeps denying it but he lives in the same town as my brother so people keep calling my brother and telling him that they keep seeing him at the bar drinking. Its terribly sad, in the last year his life has taken a downward spiral and its going to hell in a handbasket fast.

Wow and he is a priest? I understand that they are people too but we generally hold them to higher standards, them being shepherds for the masses and all. I also vote to disown.

And a therapist.
