Last Monday put me over the edge.
I truly hate my aunt, one of my cousins and his wife.
There are those who have read some of my posts here and there about my "family" and the emotional abuse and neglect I have put up with because they have been all I have.
Even if my mobile postpaid was disconnected I was alone.
I could do the illustration story about this.
I never heard from my uncle from my mom's side,[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] my cousin, his wife (my cousin-in-law), my niece, and my nephew[/font] by phone call or anything on my birthday. Apparently they and my aunt forgot I was part of our family and I've devoted most of my life to take care of them and help them around the house.
I'm called on every favor and crisis.
I can't even count on two hands how many hugs or a "thank you" in 36 years of my life.
Never a FB friend request - forget that.
When my aunt was hospitalized my male cousin made me choose between work and family and yet I get the calls or texts when help and favors are needed.
I could write the illustration story.
I'm already dead to them except being the slave - born to be the caretaker for life.
Absolutely reprehensible.. they don't sound much like a family other than the fact they share genetic material with you-- and I take it you can't fully cut them out of your life since they're part of your immediate family and you may be sharing living space with them?

Hearing about what Blizzard did to censor any support for the Hong Kong protesters because they're afraid of losing China's invested money really boils my blood, so I'm going to have fun turning Mei into a HK protest symbol like the rest of the internet. They're not getting a cent from me anymore
