My grandmother passed away in August and I had to sit at the post-burial reception and listen to my aunt endlessly tell me what an incredibly good, decent, kind and wonderful man my uncle is.
Why I did not finally snap and go completely, utterly batsh*t is still a miracle to me.
So, no, I’m not really dealing with this most recent, spectacularly egregious public child molester scandal very well.
I haven’t even talked to my mom in weeks because if *she* makes any comments about “how horrible all this is”, I might not be able to avert the emotional snapping, this time.
Suffice to say that I personally think he *and* everyone who knew should be summarily taken out, gut shot and left to die in a cold, lonely place.
Some times this sort of babbling is the result of a subconscious inkling the the opposite may be true.
Why don’t you turn your uncle in? If you don’t he might be hitting on some other kid right now.
I don’t understand your post: is your uncle not the man his wife thinks he is?
I agree with you 100%, Salamander.
I’m guessing your grandmother wasn’t of the same opinion as your aunt.
I’m sorry you had to listen to your aunt babble. Some people don’t like looking at terrible truths. It sounds like your aunt is one of them.
You mentioned you have a doberman. Dogs tend to be good judges of character, in my opinion. :-)
