I went over to my Dad’s house yesterday to give him and my uncle some art i made and just see how he was doing. My cousin, who has some undiagnosed mental health issues, has been living there for a long time. I wasn’t expecting him to be there though, the last time i talked to him he said he was moving to another city with his girlfriend. He’s one of those gamers who gets aggravated super easy, and the last time i had talked to him he was trying to throw shade at me, but like i said before, he’s got some unchecked mental health issues so i just let it go. I feel bad for people who play victim their whole life, especially of their own choices.

Anyways, as i walk up to the front door, he walks out, and he starts saying “whoa bro whoa bro, just calm down” thing is, i was calm. Why wouldn’t i be? I told him i am just here to talk to my dad, and he said “cool man cool”.

As i entered the house, his whole demeanor changed from trying to calm me down to yelling “you need to talk to your dad on the back porch, you’re not allowed in my house!”

Night and fucking day. It was absolutely insane to witness. I was deeply embarrassed to be related to this guy, which is crazy because he was one of the funniest guys i knew.

As i start talking to my dad, i asked him what jakes problem was? He avoids the question to tell me that my uncle is dead. Jakes dad died 2 years ago. One of the dudes i thought would be there wasn’t, and the dude i expected to be somewhere else was there.

Then my cousin comes out, and starts talking to us, acting as if he didn’t just go dr Jekyll and mr Hide on me 5 minutes ago. He was apologizing, trying to convince me he’s not one of my “opps” (which he literally said) going on and on and on about the craziest shit. This whole time im trying to process that my uncle is dead, while simultaneously processing the fact that my cousin is definitely my “opp”, he’s basically been admitting it since i came to the door and now he is trying to act like he is my brother and sucking my dick over my paintings. His girlfriend demanded i apologize for calling her a bitch, but i never called her a bitch! I just came to drop off something i thought my dad and uncle would enjoy and now i was living bi-polar fever dream. In the past I have called her a “known hooker” but that’s beside the point! This bitch, come to find out has been following my legal troubles. These people are deeply sick little stalkers. Obsession is so fascinating and horrifying to see people suffer from.

This little fuck not only shows no remorse he dad is gone, he even took over his dads room and moved my dad to the basement. His girlfriend lives there now too, which i know his dad wouldn’t have liked at all!!! They have some kid running around the house that they “take care of” for one of the girlfriend’s family members. They spent most of the time yelling at the kid to go to its room and watch it’s movie while trying to chastise me for my language. It was an absolute mad house.

Im deeply embarrassed for these two, and im seriously worried about my dad’s happiness. I feel bad that they have a gaggle of friends who are just as insane and incapable of telling them that they need therapy. Which is crazy, because this bitch works at the YWCA. I dont think an insane stalker person should be working with battered women.

I know exactly what happened after i left that whirlwind of emotion that started at “please dont hurt me” went to “this is my house and you’re not welcome” to “we are brothers” with me barely saying anything in between: he went right back to talking shit. Absolutely embarrassing. Get therapy
