We got home late afternoon Sunday after a 400 mile drive. The drive was pretty unremarkable and the trip overall was good except for Thanksgiving night. . . .
Hubs and I drove down to So. Cal seperately (he went to his parents and me to my grandma's and he met me at grandma's on friday morning) so Thanksgiving night was going to be a small meal and then friday was going to be our big meal and my grandmother's 80th b-day celebration. Anyway, we get down to grandma's house around 6:30 and my uncle (mom's brother) is there too, which I expected.
I don't hate my uncle but I also don't understand how we are related in anyway, he is one of those "caveman" type men who has very little respect for women he also has NO ettiquite whatsoever. Oh, and he drinks WAY TOO MUCH!
So we are all sitting around after dinner and my step dad and uncle are talking about whatever when all of a sudden my uncle blurts out with "so when are you going to have a baby?". I don't even look at him and don't give him an answer. I'm PISSED! My mom and grandma step in and say that he shouldn't ask that and that it is none of his business.
And then the drama begins. At this point he has had 11 beers and a bottle of wine in the matter of a few hours. He starts to say F*** you to my grandma and mom and then as soon as that happens I step in and tell him that is is unacceptable to swear at his mother and sister and then he says F*** you to me too! Then my grandma starts to cry and my mom and I get really angry and start telling him to apologize. He says he doesn't need to and then he starts calling me a "feminist" because I won't answer his question about having a baby.
Well, this goes on for about half an hour. More yelling from me and my mom. At one point he says he is going to slit my moms throat and then he decides that he is going to drive home (about 60 miles away). We tell him not too because he is obviously drunk but he doesn't listen and goes anyway. He got home safely (phew!) but I really NEVER EVER want to speak to this man again! He has a serious drinking problem and Thanksgiving I really saw how bad it was. He has no regard for his family at all when he is drinking and it is so disgusting.
I saw him one more time before leaving to go to my In-Laws house on saturday evening but I didn't even look at him, I just couldn't. ![]()
Re: Back home with a vent.
My mom threatened to call the cops but it didn't happen. I wish she had.
