It's no secret. I hate the holidays. And here's why.....
My cousin has been stealing from me for years. She steals my cllothes, my expensive shoes, my glasses. I even caught her walking out of my house with a La Perla slip in her hand.She tried to hide it when she saw me and I grabbed it from her .She said she didn't know she had it. She doesn't haved the money for high end shit so she would prefer to take my stuff because I "never pay for " my stuff anyway. She denys having my stuff and then posts pics on Myspace of her wearing it and then lies and says her mom bought it for her. Sorry honey, your parents aren't putting out $2000 for a Gucci sweater !!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr
So last year, I had enough. I simply told her I wasn't coming to Thanksgiving ( at her parents) until she gave me clothes back. She insisted that she didn't have anything and I skipped turkey day with my family. Later that night I dropped my phone and broke it but I needed to reach my mother so I called my uncles to ask for my moms #. My uncle and cousin took turns laughing and hanging up on me. I called my grandpa to try to get the number and he starts screaming at me saying I've lost it and how could I say these things about my cousin? He screamed at me calling me a liar, the word Satan was used and he mentioned my job. I NEVER told my grandparents about my job because they are so religious it would kill them. I guess my cousin just threw me under the bus.
Anyway, because she just graduated from lawschool she comes out smelling like a rose and I have not only been robbed by my own family, I've been screamed at and chastized. It's SO painful. When one of my uncles died over the summer, no one even talked to me at the funeral.
What they don't know about my stupid cousin id that she has 2 DUIS , is banging a married partner at her law firm and is a fucking KLEPTO. She has a drug charge.....I have 0 criminal history, I'm honest, I volunteer in Africa for God's sake !
So when the holidays roll around and there's talk of turkey and family, I just want to leave the country. I have been steamrolled by my entire family when I am the victim........
Sorry it's kind of long but I'm stressed out and really, really hurt. MY grandparents are getting older and who knows how long they have left but after the way I was treated , why would I want to even try ? At the very least, I deserve an apology. I spent last X-mas crying about this situation. It was the first time in 32 years I wasn't with my family.![]()
Advice? Cyber hugs ?
