    My Boomer aunt two weeks ago lol.

    I’d say funny not fun.

    Never communicates till she needs something from me.

    Very triggering like my Brother was R.I.P, like no, I am not your pro-bono rock bottom drunk/drug emergency crisis therapist hotline#. Only leaving voicemails to make sure I’m thinking of her.

    Lives in my Mother’s house to boot.

    /endrant

      My boomer uncle is a lifelong raging alcoholic.

      Lived with my grandma, his mom, unemployed, for 15 ish years, as a 40ish to 50ish year old.

      …Untill he threatened the neighbor with a gun, fled to the other side of the state, still living on a stipend from his mom.

      Last time I talked to him was when he called me out of nowhere, saying he needed my social security number so that he could… put me in his will.

      Mhm. Yep. Not like he’s got charges for identity theft and fraud or anything.

      Tell my family this and they gasp, no, he wouldn’t do that!

      sigh

      I’m not proud at how long I spend trying to figure out what a “house/endrant” was.

      I was like “…what is that? Like a guest house?”
