30 Days of Truth (Day Four): Something You Have to Forgive Someone For

Eww...this one is not going to be fun. So I'm going to make it short. LOL. I know...whine whine whine blah blah blah wah wah wah.
Ok here goes...

My uncle on my mother's side (who is actually her half brother too b/c she is also a child of wedlock. My grandma was a little slutty and liked to have affairs with gringos all the time. Lol. Soo..my mother was one of those love childs.) has always been in our lives since I can remember. In and out anyway. He's the youngest so I guess my mom felt a certain need to lend a hand when it was needed. That usually included a place to stay and/or finding a job. Money. You get the drift.
Unfortunately, he is also the black sheep of the family. The rotten apple. Etc...
Always been involved with drugs, alcohol and gangs. He got my brothers into all that crap, as well as my sister. What a freaking bastard. He tried to get me too. I honestly don't know why I didn't take that venue as well. God knows it was the easiest route and probably the one everyone assumed I would take. But that stuff jsut didn't appeal to me. It never did. They thought it was cool and that being a bad ass (like carrying a gun and selling drugs) was the best thing. I kinda just saw douches.
Anywho...
So yeah. My uncle in a nutshell: Drinks too much, always high, has a WRETCHED temper, trigger happy...paints a pretty picture don't it? *eyeroll*
Well, in my early twenties (hee hee cuz I'm so much older now!) There was a lot of crap going on with my family. My mother took off to Peru to get married and start herself a whole new life with a whole new family. My dad was in Texas, still not over the divorce. And my sibs and I (plus my husband at the time and my newborn) all were left struggling to pay the bills. We all lived together. Yeah. Trouble.
Long story short, my Uncle kinda screwed us over. Ok so he totally did. Years went by, we moved out and he made it seem as though I was ditching my sibs. Um, ok. He threatened to kill me. Molested my sister. And pretty much anything awful you can think of.
I have yet to forgive him.
Not sure I want to.
That's pretty much it.
