Estranged Relationships

 

Back in December, I had a blow-out with my mother and brother in Manitoba. This had been leading up for years. And without getting into many details, it was an unavoidable situation. I had to call my mother a few weeks ago because she phoned police on me again, for a "safety check". I call this criminal harassment.

The sad part is, she didn't remember the argument I had with her last December. She had hung up on me, completely enraged and indignant. My so-called brother gloated in an e-mail to me, saying 'You better get your things out of your apartment before they get thrown away'. Well guess what, they DID get thrown away - and they stole $60-80K in belongings I had. I guess he forgot I gave him $360 last October, when he said, and I quote: "Hey, I bought a door for mom, it cost 600, can you help me out?" And so I did like a complete moron. He spent the money on alcohol and scratch tickets. And he laughed about it. This door on her trailer needed to be replaced for the winter time. He never did fix it. I told him to fuck-off in an e-mail. I haven't heard a word since.

After that phone call with my mom, I cried for a little bit. I remember how lonely I felt after Marion and Bernice died in 2012. My God was that an awful set of months. We would leave Nova Scotia not 7 months later. 

It sucks.
