I know that I’ve never put up an announcement but I think it’s vital that I do today. I’m 23 years old and I just found out some life changing stuff. To start, I hate my mother. It’s not irrational, she singlehandedly ruined my life and my dad’s, the reason I hate my mother is actually because she’s a horrible person, ever since I was little, she had been saying these awful things about my dad’s relatives. I found out today that my mother slept with my dad’s uncle. Correction, favourite uncle. I’ve heard a lot of stories through my life about this uncle but I’ve never actually met him. So, I was hanging out with my mom and she started saying that my grandma had done something really bad. I asked her what and she said nothing. So, when I saw my grandma tonight she told me the real story. My mom was sleeping with my father’s uncle and the uncle told my dad and it broke him into pieces. The uncle’s daughter was getting married that weekend apparently and the uncle called her to tell her that my dad was going to see her and my aunt (my dad’s sister) worked with her. So she turns to her and says, I guess we’re not going to that shag. So, after that, the first thing you hear come out of my mother’s mouth is that she was raped by the uncle. Most people knew it was a lie, but some didn’t. My grandmother hated her for it too. When I mentioned it to my grandma tonight, she expressed that my mother was a trouble maker and was always trying to cause trouble within our family. The worst part of it all is that my dad stayed with her and believed the lie that she spewed. I only wish that my dad made the right decision and left her. I just need you guys to know that lying about a crime that didn’t happen is wrong.
