Yesterday, the boy came over for lunch. His phone call had awaken Maw from her usual mid-morning to past noontime nap. Food was served and ranting ensued. Maw remained calmed and continued to remind the boy of his selfish ways. He briefly mentioned that he should just shoot himself. I didn’t hear that and wasn’t bothered by that statement after the fact as per Maw. People unhappy in their fleshy bodies are better off in heaven anyway. So it’s less of them ruining the lives of others while on the earth plane.
For you see, cousin Shill’s Paw, my paternal Uncle Ver, also threatened suicide in front of his family. The jerk still lives to get arrested for domestic violence, a threat upon the life of the second wife long ago. Like Uncle Ver, the boy owns SEVERAL guns and out of unfounded paranoia, like my paternal Uncle Dead, whose only daughter Marianne cannot do anything about her insane dad, who has fought with family and strangers (including neighbors) alike. These two uncles smoke and drink. The boy claimed to have stopped drinking but never smoked in his life (thank goodness).
Now, you know why any mother can get VERY loud at family members. It’s not because of the lack of love. Nope. It’s because guys can be jerks, emotional, gifted or not. In all species, males just don’t get it.
