Hello there, it's a long story so I'll try to cut it short as much as possible. Four years ago I found an old vhs tape at a local flee market (in Italy, mind you) that contained and hour or so of home videos recorded by a Czech man, who supposedly lived in Brezina from the 60s (I think?) to the late 90s. I think this man went to live in Germany later on as well. The thing is, inside the vhs cover there were also a bunch of photos, so I know this guy's name and a couple more of his already-then-dead relatives, thanks to a photo of him close to their tombstones. It all felt extremely personal so I decided to convert the tape to HD mp4 and hope to find a relative, in order to send them the file at least. I tried reaching thru Brezina's gov emails, searching the names on genealogy sites, facebook, tombstone sites, asking around the net, etc but I never came to a conclusion.
Recently I've been going thru some newly found family footage of my great uncle- and I remembered of this search of mine. My great uncle loved to film, even when it was an hobby for the few in 50's Italy and I inherited his 8mm camera, which looks good as new still. It made me think that there has to be someone out re who wants to cherish this guy's family videos! So please, if you have any tips for me, I'd love to hear them!
If you want to help directly, I'll send details ONLY in PM, because I don't want to violate anyone's privacy on a public forum. Thank you in advance.

My mother had her facebook account hacked and stolen last year. It happened in the middle of the night so she wasn't able to change her password back in time. Whoever has control of it has been posting in her name since, shilling some sort of financial scam. She has reported it and had others report it, but nothing has happened. She tried to tell as many people as she could what happened, but couldn't reach everyone who followed her old account.
An elderly friend we haven't seen for years just emailed her, asking if it was a scam. He has sunk a significant amount of money into whatever the current account holder told him was a good investment. It's absolutely sickening that this thief can play off my mother's good name to hurt people. It seems to me that this could damage her reputation.
How to get her old account taken down? Is it even possible? I'll spend hours on the phone if I have to. Please let me know if you have any advice.

Hey all. As the name suggests I’m looking for a gaylor pen pal for exchange of the same types of convos, lyrical analysis & ideas shared in this sub as well as other pockets of the internet- but just, well, offline via snail mail. I’ve been a gaylobilor for about 3 years now & im trying to slow my life down a bit and stay off the internet a LOOOT. But I love this pocket of the internet & already do have a lot of penpals. I’d be down if anyone in this thread wanted to be penpals. Context I’m 27 y/o from the US, queer & nonbinary, current fav album is ttpd obvi and yeaaaah. Delete if not allowed - DM or comment if you’d be interested!

So its been a LOOONG LOONG TIME since I have had a crush. The last time I had a crush on someone was like 2018 when I was in college and looking back at it, it just made me laugh because I am gay (closeted) and I had a crush on someone who is straight and I was such a mess at that time because I know I wasnt gonna win anything and I was still too immature to handle those feelings but anyways its over lol. 2020 came, I already have a job but the pandemic happened so we stayed at home to work but even though the world kinda recovered in 2021 with people working back on site, my company decided its best to stay at home and ever since, weve been working at home. Im also very introverted but just recently, I met a guy from a get together with friends as they brought in their other friends as well and I found him attractive but we didnt talk bcs I’m very shy and only talked with the people I know. I did not really care much since I was thinking “Oh he must be straight”, “he probably has a gf” but I still went to Facebook to stalk and searched for him bcs my detective skills in finding out his name is 💯 and to my shock, I found out he is not straight and is also single. I told myself to stop thinking about it but gosh, I just cant stop help it. I want to add him on Facebook but I want to play it cool and I am also very shy. I am afraid that he might reject my friend request because I may not be his type or maybe hes out of my league, I can see he is studying nursing, has lots of friends, very outgoing and Im like here, introverted, stuck at home working and sleeping. Its been like six years since I last felt this way. I know its kinda stupid to crush on someone I dont really know much but I just cant stop thinking abt him. Maybe I should just try dating apps to look for someone else so that I can get distracted idk. I just want to rant bcs I’ve been listening to mellow songs since and I usually listen to upbeat type of songs. 🙈

He's been my FIL for 5+ years... Definitely drank the Q Kool Aid, and moved from Facebook to TruthSocial after he decided he was "being silenced" on Facebook. The typical Alt Right 65+ Boomer.
Fast forward to yesterday when we were out fishing. He usually is a great talker and we can talk about everything except sex, religion, and politics.
All of a sudden, he starts going off about this "Asian doctor Yang" and "OF COURSE ITS AN ASIAN! CAN'T HAVE A WHITE DOCTOR THESE DAYS!!"
It spiraled from there. "The son of a bitch thinks he's so smart but can barely speak our language!! His accent is horrible. How is he supposed to be a doctor like that?!"
Then he starts going off about about a new and different woman doctor, with the last name of Liu. He then mocked the name by calling her "Loo Loo" or "Loony Toons." Never met the woman in his life and his appointment was scheduled for today.
I challenged him both times saying that this isn't okay and is pretty racist. Que the "It's not racist because insert reasons here"
Today he texted me: "Guess what!? Dr Liu wasn't Asian! She's a tall white lady. I bet she still married one of those Asian Types though! That's not a white woman's last name!!!"
I'm shocked... and needless to say won't be fishing with him again anytime soon. I knew he's been crazy for a while, but now pretty blatantly racist on top of it.
I'm sick to my stomach and so is my wife. Has anybody else watched a formerly normal and loving Boomer spiral into conspiracies and racism? It's so sad...

My first Rep. Here are my thoughts.

1. Dealer name: Steve - The One Watches
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster 300 SS/SS VSF V2 A8800
4. Price Paid: $428
5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/60xDcaW
6. Index alignment: The 12:00 bothers me a little. The two "teeth" don't seem to align with the tick mark above it. Am I being too picky? The rest appear good enough
7. Dial Printing: Looks good
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good, but I want to ask for a picture with a 1-9 on the date just to be sure.
9. Hand Alignment: Looks good
10. Bezel: Looks good
11. Solid End Links (SELs): From what I can tell looks good.
12. Timegrapher numbers: Within acceptable limits: +7s, 272 degrees, 0.1ms err
13. Anything else you notice: Do I need to ask for a picture showing the lume?

Thanks for any input.

​

It’s gunna be a long one so I suggest getting your self a drink get comfy and I’ll try to make it the easiest read I can. As the title suggests this is what happened to me, my wife and our 2 year old son. The lord as my witness everything written is 100 percent true and accurate with many witnesses.
I don’t even know where to start this so I’ll just go from where I feel is relevant, I 31 male moved to Cornwall uk in 2018 then 24 coming up to 25. I moved into a beautiful one bedroom flat with sea views with nothing but a motorbike 1 bag on my back and a starting date for work 18th February 2018.
All was fine everything was going good life was finally looking up I moved from a city to rural countryside breathtaking beaches, beautiful people and I was ready to finally start adulthood. When I moved into my flat I had nothing, absolutely nothing apart from 7 days worth of clean boxers and socks a guitar and some chef whites. The flat was unfurnished apart from a bed frame and a chest of drawers so naturally I would have to buy everything I needed while I was there, I didn’t even have a mattress for my bed. 2018 was a big year for Cornwall as we had the beast of the east, heavy snow (now I like snow and being a northern boy I was used to it but this stuff came down thick and heavy)! As I said I had a motorbike for transport and I was in work when the beast of the east hit and obviously couldn’t ride back home as the snow was about 2 ft deep by the time I left.
So I walk home and as soon as you entered my flat my bedroom was to the right of the front door a cubard directly in front of you my bathroom just to the left and my living room just down the hallway to the left also. In my hall way I had a shoe rack where I always used to put my shoes, now given I had just walked 3 miles in the snow I could swear I put my bike boots on said shoe rack when I got home. Any way I carried on with my evening as normal and played guitar drank a few beers and just generally chilled before getting my head down. I was sleeping on my couch as my mattress hadn’t arrived yet, but the next morning when I woke up my bike boots was in-front of the couch like some one had jumped on them walked up to where I was sleeping and jumped out. Not only that my heater had been pulled out of the alcove it was in and turned on. I passed this off as nothing it was probably just me and I didn’t remember.
Fast forward a few months nearly a year and I’m all settled my flat is great, my work is great life is good. I met a beautiful young lady (that’s now my wife) although we just started as friends. I’m so happy.
How ever I worked on a holiday park as a chef, one day I get a knock on the back door to the kitchen. There was a man that I had been serving all week and he said sorry to bother you but my wife would like a word with you. Now I’m thinking great what have I done now. But she was smiling and happy and said to me is your gf or wife pregnant I had neither at the time, so I responded nope why do you ask? She told me her name it was carrol (forget her second name) she was a head at a spiritual church in wales. She proceeded to tell me I had a little boys spirit following me around and she could see him. I didn’t know how to react, so I just said oh ok really! And took her details added her on Facebook etc etc, now a few months go by things in the flat was getting weird not that I recognised at the time but like things moving / going missing and I just played it off like it was me being tired from work.
Again fast forward a little bit I’m dating my now wife and mother to my children, she’s staying over but she worked evenings till early hours in the morning when i would wait to go pick her up, at this point I had sold my motorbike to buy a car (more practical and I needed one as per the condition where I worked was I had to have a car to collect stock of a morning).
One night she was in work I was sat at my table designing her tattoo for the back of her leg as I love to draw, I used to have lanterns on my table that where on like a metal frame but they could swing. That night I was drawing both lanterns where swinging in unison so I FaceTimed I will call her red (as I don’t wish to identify her by name). While on face time I showed her the lanterns and I stepped away from the table thinking my shading was moving them and the second I did I swear to the almighty lord they stoped dead! Dead centre like they hadn’t even moved. She witnessed this and was like what the ****.
But once again we put it to the back of our minds and fast forward a few days / maybe a week. I used to have a picture of red and her best friend one of them stupid long ones that you get from a photo machine at an arcade, locked behind my intercoms phone. One day we was stood in the living room and i promise no one was near it but this picture came from behind the phone and landed in the middle of the living room floor. We laughed about it at the time and was like oooooo spooky but we was stupid!
So strange things kept happening red hated being in the flat on her own and hated being in my room as I had a built in wardrobe and she would always say she felt uneasy. The strange things never stopped but we always just brushed it off. Until …….
Our son is born now there’s a 2 year gap where my little lad I’ll refer to him as A, the happings never stopped or eased but we would always just pass it off, how ever when A was about 2 he would always talk to him self in the kitchen and say brother, look daddy brother but not a second later he would scream. Any one whos a parent knows there kids sounds and this sound instantly got my back up am talking as a father hearing my son make this noise I was ready to kill, the anger and rage that I felt inside was something I can’t even put into words, my baby boy was terrified of something and fatherly instincts kicked in.
Every morning while at this flat I would wake up with little bumps or marks across my body, but I always thought it was where I slept or how I slept, but red noticed the same time my lad was doing what he was in the kitchen I was waking up with what looked like chain marks around my wrists and arms and sometimes I awoke with scratches not 4 or 5 like a human hand but 3, just 3 linear scratches across my body.
Covid 2.0 come along, we all get locked down now hear I am with a young family so I did my door badge, I got night work as a security guard and red would refuse to sleep with A until I got home she would always say it felt like something / some one was watching her.
Now red had family down, and said family is a medium (at the time I would have laughed at this as I was very much so on the fence). But one night reds auntie was at her mums house and was doing a reading. During this reading she said she become overtaken by an entity she started pulling this horrible smile that my little lad used to do. (I wasn’t there to confirm this). But the next morning red and I and A are out and about in the car just been for hot chocolate when red gets a phone call from her mum.
Are you with T (me) red says yeah why? Her mum says get T and A to mine right now they both need to be saged with a white feather. So at this point I’m like *** off laughing but then I thought **** it I’ll ride the bus to the next stop. I walk into reds mums and her aunt (who I’ve never ever met doesn’t even know my second name) says to me you would have had a little boy, he would have been around 5 now and his birthday is in July.
Truth be told before I moved to Cornwall I had relations with a lady they should have been forbidden and she fell pregnant, but unfortunately lost the baby. How ever she was pulled to one side by a stranger in the street whom said 10th of July he would have been here.
So this lady reds aunt doesn’t know a thing about me but knew this, knew what faces / smirks A used to do and knew about him screaming from the kitchen and climbing up me in panic. She hadn’t seen or heard any of this no one had.
She proceeded to tell me I had a evil entity attached to my back and that’s why i suffer with back pain, this entity was hiding behind the spirit of my unborn and when A seen him or tried to interact with him he would come out from behind my unborn to scare him. He would use A•s fear and trauma as energy to try and make its self stronger as its end goal was me. It was terrorising my son to get to me.
I went white what the actual **** is going on, I spent the next few weeks thinking I was going insane. But things at the flat was getting worse I contacted Carrol and she said go into every room every storage room / cubard every dark space and say if you are not here with love and light then I command you too leave
A was getting more and more anxious in the flat, around this time we had been accepted for a house and one day he was in the hall way, I was getting the hoover out and he kept slamming the door on the cubard shut saying no daddy I thought he was being cute. I was wrong.
As things started to escalate we tried to reach out for help I’ve gone from a sceptic to a full on believer. We went to a witch shop a couple of towns over, the sell crystals candles etc etc. but when we walked in the woman wouldn’t even look at me, I tried to explain my story but A started messing around so I took him out side and this lady said to red no candles or crystals are going to help him with what he’s got she gave red two business cards for 2 white witches.
So let’s fast forward again at this point reds had enough A is unhappy! But we have a new house to move into so we said we would stay in the flat one last night before we go to the new house the next day. Our last night in the flat didn’t last from the second we walked in it felt so cold so unwelcoming just horrible atmosphere. So we packed up and went and slept on the couch in our new house. That was the last time red or A would step foot in that flat.
I had given my notice to my landlord about moving so I was there cleaning with L that’s reds sister and as we are cleaning we are both in separate rooms, she is in the kitchen I’m in the bedroom I hear her scream and then she ran into the room I was cleaning. Turns out this thing was not happy not happy at all. She was cleaning the cubard under the sink and as she tried to close the door she said it felt like something was pushing against it. She let go of it and it slammed shut. I did actually hear it from the bedroom, I told her to calm down it will be ok and we will work together.
I walked into the bathroom now this flats been empty all day I had had a wee when I first got there but other than that, nothing no one had used the bathroom. But when we walked in there was water everywhere sink was soaking wet, shower tray was soaking and the black and glitter tiles where soaked. We just wanted to get the **** done and get out. That night she left and swore she would never go back. Any who
I get reds mum over to sage the flat and she said she hated being in there, and I have 3 friends they are all into the paranormal, and wanted to explore the flat. I allowed them in as they where down on holiday and I’ll call him S is just like me emotionally dead only had two but after he left that flat he got in our friends car, he broke down in full blows tears and said he’s never felt so empty unloved and lonely. Another of our friends said he saw a long thin figure in the living room all in black with no eyes and was not of this world. He said the reason it had no eyes is because the eyes are a portal to the soul and things not of this plain can’t copy the eyes.
Any way let’s move on I left that flat and every time I left I had to say you are not welcome to follow me or attach to me, you are not welcome in my home or around my family you must stay here or go back to where you belong
Me red and A have lived in our new place a couple of years he’s happy no more screaming and running up me, red is comfortable and I haven’t awoke with chain marks since we started living here.
Red has crystals on all entry and exit points, she had the house saged, but on a whole she is happy and content, I am just never allowed to talk about these events infront of her. Last I heard that thing is still at the flat with my little unborn boy and my A•s grandad who did well to protect A.
This is my story that changed me from a sceptical to a firm believer in paranormal entity’s.

Trying to find my parents I’ve lost contact with for +10 years.
Grew up with just my older brother and me. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2020 and I’ve been his primary caregiver.
Want to reconnect with my family who were already living apart before we lost contact.
Tried extended family, facebooking their english and chinese names but no luck.
Closest I found was my dad’s old friend who has also lost contact with him.
Wondering if anyone here knows of some sort of directory/yellow pages I can try in HK.
I’ve thought about the possibility that they also may have passed by now and am wondering if theres a directory for the deceased.

I saw this on Facebook Reels earlier but now I can't remember the name of it. I remember it was about a girl who was sent to this all-girls school for troubled teens. I think this was a boarding school? Anyways, the reason why she was going to a there was because she was doing bad things in school and got suspended, so her parents decided to look for ways to make her stop acting rebellious.
The main character notices throughout the tour that most of the girls have very similar haircuts and wore uniforms. Her parents saw that the students there acted well behaved, so they decided to enroll her. The main character meets this other girl who doesn't act like the rest of the students, and apparently the girl tells MC that the reason why everyone acts so well-behaved is because when they get their hair cut, they go down into this sketchy basement the school has and this thing goes on their head and it affects their brain to make them act good. The reason why it didn't affect the girl who knew this is because she had a metal plate put into her skull or something as a kid so it didn't mess with her head.
The MC also finds out that if she played music, then it would take away the affects of what the machine did. I think she finds this out when she tried playing music in front of her roommate and the effects wore off and she didn't remember how she got there. At the end, I think the MC and the girl mentioned earlier with the metal plate in her head manage to get the entire school to listen to the music and the effects wore off of them as well.

That was definitely the name of the track. with numbers for letters aswell, but i can't find anything myself... The male singer voice(i think he was black, or even the whole band was, but not sure, might just be my delusions) sounded sorta like https://youtu.be/5V6Kefs2xNI (I think there was actually the track "Holdin' on" track on that album aswell, but not sure )but with modern sound and musical arrangement. The track definitely had many repeats of that same phrase "Im a space ship. I am a space ship" but in different cadence and robot voice intonations(male/female??), but there was also some male singing at the start. I was 100% remembering the band was called "The Antennas" but googling seems to say thats definitely not the case.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: actually the track name was just Sp4c3 Ship, without the "i am a"

Shared this on the Weird NJ Facebook group and figured I'd share here too.
So I'm 22, and my mom grew up in the Watchung/Summit/Chatham Borough area. She horseback rode for most of her life, and mostly there. She had her horse at the Watchung Stables, and would go as she described "trailblazing" into the Watchung Reservation. She remembered that the trails had names, but can't remember them. She would ride up on remains of satanic things all the time, but one of note were the charred remains of a pentagram star. She said it wasn't large, but the size of a circular carpet. She said after entering the reserve, it would come up on her left side.
The one that stuck with her though was when she was riding, she got turned around and ended up getting lost. Meanwhile she's in her early to mid teens, and this was sometime in the 80s. In a blind panic, she ended up riding into someone's backyard. The owner of the house was a woman that it turned out went to the same church as my mom, and knew my grandmother who helped out with the Sunday School at the Lutheran Church. The woman said that so many people who had gotten lost ended up in her backyard that she had printed maps for people to find their way out. Since this woman knew my grandmother, she went the extra mile and called my grandmother for my mom to help out. My mom said for years after she was easily panicked getting lost, even in the car.
Unrelated, but she was also there when the Snowbird Acres Farm burned down in Long Valley back in 1985.

I'm curious, How badly did Aubrey bully Basil? Did she bully Basil for the full 4 years, or did she just call him names and then everyone else at school jumped in, then she just backed off? Also what was the timeline for her stealing the album? Did she just take it when she first went over and Basil was just asking for it ever since?

So this is a long one. Like, I'm going back over it and damn. This is longer than I thought it would be. Throwaway account, I've only made one other post to this relating to what's going on. Instead of updating the other post, I figured I'd make a separate one about the whole shit show I experienced, and the shit circus I uncovered and avoided. I'll try to keep this in as chronological an order as I can.
As the title says, my abusive/narc mom and pos/delusional/golden child brother started trying to reach out to me a few months ago wanting to make amends and build bridges with me again. There were a few people that commented on my previous post in another subreddit that may be a little disappointed in me for how I handled this, and a few that might enjoy that I handled it the way I did. Someone commented to not let them use my good nature. My nature is dependent on who I'm dealing with, and when it comes to that side of my family, I'm more stick than carrot. So their attempts did not go ignored, and did not go unpunished.
Growing up, I was always closer with my Dad than my mom. My brother was the epitome of "pampered mamma's boy". He started having seizures as a child and was diagnosed with epilepsy, which I thought was why my mom babied the absolute fuck out of him long into adulthood. He would go a year or 2 without any seizures, and then there would be a few months where he'd be having them every other day. At Anytime he got in trouble at home or school, my mom would find a way to blame me, for not making sure he knew whatever he was doing would get him in trouble, or she would blame my dad for not being "involved enough in their baby's life." My dad was in the Navy and I remember any time he'd deploy, I'd dread every day until he came back. My brother would taunt me that he knew whatever he did, I'd be the one to get in trouble for it. My dad would always make things up for me when he got back from his deployments though. We'd often have weekend trips just the 2 of us. And then around my 12th birthday, my mom insisted on sitting us all down and explain to that she and my dad were getting a divorce. We got the whole talk about how they still love us and they just can't be together anymore, etc. my dad told us both that he still loved us and he would be there for us whenever we needed him. He explained that he would be moving out, but he would be by to pick us up to spend the weekends with us. I was nervous and honestly scared of what it would be like without him. But I was looking forward to the weekend when I got to see him again. That never happened though, and that was the last time I ever got to see him.
Right before his weekend with us, my mom explained to us that my dad didn't want anything to do with us anymore. There was some news story about a father that killed his kids when he had custody of them and she used that to terrify my brother and convince him that our dad wanted to kill us to start his life over. We left damn near everything behind and moved in with my mom's brother in Florida (from Virginia) a couple days before my dad was supposed to come get us. After that, she went to great lengths to make sure we had no contact from him.
Years went on, my mom seemed more indifferent towards me than ever. She never seemed interested in anything I did unless my brother also seemed interested in it. She didn't show any interest in my wanting to learn guitar until my brother also showed interest in it. Then we got one guitar that we had to share, I'd take lessons on the condition that I taught my brother whatever I learned in them. My brother eventually wound up breaking the guitar and I was blamed for not storing it in the case it came with. I had to share my N64 with him whenever he wanted to play it. I was playing perfect dark one day and having a hard time killing the skedar leader at the end of the game. My brother burst into the room saying he wanted to play his MegaMan game, to which I just replied "give me a minute, this boss fight is hard, once I'm done you can have your turn" He didn't like that. He left the room and came back with a hammer and smashed the console while I was still playing. My fault for not letting him play it. The only thing I had that he could not use was a pair of roller blades my aunt got me for my 14th birthday. I specifically asked for roller blades to get around instead of a bike because my brother and I had different shoe sizes, so he couldn't wear them Because of constant shit like that, I never really put much value in having things growing up. I didnt want to buy something or get something as a gift just to have it fucked up in a few weeks or months. At some point, my "little" brother became the larger one, so my clothes all became "hand-me-ups" as he outgrew everything. So, because I didn't really have any distractions at home, I turned into a high achieving student, rarely got in trouble. made the honor roll all throughout school. But that wasn't something to celebrate as it was expected of me. I had long since decided that I was moving out as soon as I could once I turn 18. I got a job working at a Walgreens as soon as I could and started saving up for a car. My mom however took issue with this and would never agree to take me looking for one and absolutely refused to ever have it put on her insurance. This is where my Aunt comes in. She and her son are the only 2 on my mom's side that aren't some sort of degenerate. She had her son young, but put herself through college while raising him alone and eventually got her MBA and a cushy upper corporate job. She told me to tell my mom I had to go in to work on one of my days off, that she would pick me up and she would take me car shopping. So that's what we did. I couldn't quite afford a cash car, but she helped me with the financing. I put down what I had as the down payment, the arrangement she made with me was that 1- as long as I was in school, she would cover the insurance and payments for me, however, if I got into an accident, I was responsible for paying the deductable. And 2- as long as i was living with my mom, the car remained in her (Aunt's) name. And if anything happened to it, to let her know so she could get the appropriate authorities involved. My mom was PISSED when she found out I now had a car. Her reasoning (that she said in front of my aunt) was that she didn't think it was fair for one of us-either me or my brother- to have something the other couldn't use. Due to him being 13 and having epilepsy, he couldn't drive, so why should i have a car if my brother doesn't? That turned into a long shouting match between my mom and Aunt that basically ended with my aunt explaining that since it was her car, and all paperwork on her name, I was just on the insurance for it so I could drive it. But if anything at all happened to it while I was living at my Mom's, that the police and insurance companies would get involved. My mom still kept track of all the miles on the car to "make sure I was only going to work and school and wherever she told me I could go". Most of the time, when I hung out with friends, I wasn't the one driving. From that that point though, my mindset was very much "keep my head down and nose clean until I can leave." I graduated a month before my 18th birthday. After graduation, my mom and i got into an argument about me contributing to her bills. I eventually dropped the ball that I planned on getting back in touch with my Dad and leaving. She started laughing. Something about that laugh made me really uncomfortable. She then said "well, you can certainly meet up with him whenever you want! I'll supply the gun if you buy the bullet!" And told me my dad had died when I was 15. That. Fucking. Broke. Me. Later that night, i called my best friend and vented everything to him. He was in the DEP program for the Navy and would be shipping out in a few months, he told me to come by first thing in the morning and talk with him and his parents about the whole situation. I basically packed up all of my clothes and left the day after my 18th birthday. I just left my house key and a note that said "I'm not your problem anymore." I couch surfed for a little while until after my best friend left for boot camp, then I was able to move in and live with his parents (chosen parents basically). My only real rules were keep the house and my space clean and make sure I had a job and/or going to school. I spent a few months mourning my dad and kind of in a haze. Since he was in the Navy though, that meant I was reliable for financial aid for school. My second dad helped me get everything put together to start receiving that so I could start college.
Well, after a couple years of this, my brother, who had spent his time at school more as "forced socializing" instead of learning, was expelled from public schools for allegedly setting off a fire extinguisher in a classroom. He had to enroll at an alternative school called "the drop back-in academy" that was specifically for dropouts or anyone that got the boot from the public school system. My mom reached out to me and asked me if I would drive him to this school in the mornings, she'd pick him up in the afternoons, and she'd pay me $20 a week.I agreed to it thinking this was out of character for her, but she surprisingly held up to that agreement. I drove him for a couple years until I was ready to start my bachelor program. My second parents were getting ready to move back to their hometown and I was going to start school on the other side of the city. So, I was moving to that side of town and couldn't really drive out of my way to pick up and drop off my brother anymore. He continued his enrollment at this place for another 3 years (5 years total) and it turned out, he was never attending. I would drop his ass off there every day and he'd just walk home immediately after I pulled out of the parking lot. He'd just tell my mom that he finished his work early and decided to walk home instead of wait around for her. One afternoon, I'm coming home early from work and my brother is just sitting on the steps to my studio apartment. He tells me that he and our mom got into a really big argument and he needs a place to stay. I (reluctantly) let him in. I'm stuck thinking he must be really desperate if he's coming to me for help. But I start thinking at this point, he's 24, jobless, and probably needs to learn some self discipline and responsibility, and our mom just never did that for him. So I try to help. I ask him what their fight was about and he tells me that he started dating this girl at his alternative school. She was 21 and got the boot from the school system for being too old to attend (we actually have several relatives that were kicked out of the school system for the same reason) and that he accidentally got her pregnant and our mom did not take kindly to that. I called my landlord and explained the situation to him. He was okay with it, so I let him crash on my couch for a little bit (until the end of my lease, then I'd be moving) and just told him to clean up after himself, take care of himself, etc until we could all work this out. He crashed there for a few months and did Jack shit. He would complain that I didn't have a computer for him to use (I only had a laptop I bought for school) and I didn't have any video game consoles for him to entertain himself with. So he was stuck there bored all day. I got tired of the complaining and lack of effort and told him he had to go back to our mom's if he wasn't going to be an adult. We started shouting at each other until he dropped this little bombshell. He yelled "I can't go back to Mom's!" And when I asked why, he just blurted out "because it's to close to that elementary school!" That stopped the whole thing. "And why is that a big deal now?" I asked him. I already knew why that would be the problem, but 1% of me was holding onto the hope that he was got jumped by a gang of 5th graders and the trauma was too much for him to bear. I told him he could either tell me what's going on, or I could make a phone call and get every last detail I needed. He confessed that he had been leaving that school and going over to his "girlfriend's" house and waiting for her to get home. And that one day, her mom ended up catching them in the act. I explained to him that he was leaving out important details if that was the reason he couldn't be near a school.
He told me she was 14, not 21. I. Lost. My. Shit. Everything after that is kinda fuzzy, but he was arrested, mom posted bail, and since she lived right around the corner from an elementary school, he couldn't stay there. So they told his parole officer that he'd be staying at my address until his court date.. his PO had swung by a couple times, but I was always either at work or school or out somewhere. At this point, I told him the lease was up in 6 weeks, I couldn't stand to be around him. I packed my stuff early, moved out into a storage unit, and I stayed at an extended stay hotel until it was time for me to move. Called my landlord and told him what was going on, and if my brother was still there the last week of the lease, nail him for trespassing. My landlord was a good guy. I never had any problems with him. I paid up the last 6 weeks and threw him since extra cash for his troubles as I knew I wouldn't be getting my deposit back. That was the last time I saw my brother. After I moved out of state, I cut all contact with everyone in that family except my Aunt who was the only one that ever helped me out or even had my back. But even then, it was just through email. We'd mainly email birthday and holiday wishes to each other. Updates from my side on how life and career are going.
I never had a myspace or a Facebook growing up. I either never had a computer to check it on, or I was just so accustomed to not having any online distractions that I just never got around to making one. I did finally make a Facebook and I did get in touch with my dad's side of the family and reconnected with them. I hadn't seem most of them since I was 4 or 5. Some of them had been in contact with my brother (he fucking knew our dad died) and was spinning some sort of web about how he graduated high school early, had gone to college for pre-med and then got some sort of full ride scholarship to some prestigious medical school in Florida. He told them I wasn't on social media because I had been arrested for selling drugs and that he was taking me in after I got released. He was also using my senior portrait as a profile pic. They were surprised when they saw me and how I "looked just like my brother!" I had set the record straight. They looked dumbfounded when I told them that he couldn't get himself out of the 9th grade in 10 years, and now would likely never complete his high school journey due to the fact he can't be within 100 yards of a school.
So, fast forward to last week. I checked my email for the first time since late January (for my aunt's birthday) and noticed a few from her saying my mom wanted to reach out, then several emails from a new address. It was my mom's first initial and last name. Subject lines usually read "please respond" and "let me know you're okay" and stuff like that. I'd copy some of them over, but holy shit this is already a novella. Basically she got my email address from sneaking my aunt's phone (aunt did not sell me out). She's trying to apologize for how she treated me growing up and trying to excuse it by saying I reminded her of my dad and then she was going through menopause and just any excuse to dishes full accountability it seems. She acknowledges that it was wrong to hold me accountable for my brother's fuck-ups but dismisses that by saying he didn't know any better and she needed me to be a good role model for him. Things have been hard for her since I left, since she "had" to take my brother back in (I would've left him on the street or in jail), she had to sell her house (she was only 10 years into her mortgage) and buy another smaller one further from a school for him. He never did get a hs diploma or GED because how can he? And she's been going through breast cancer treatment for the last several months and just doesn't have the energy to take care of her 33yo baby anymore. She asked me if I lived close enough to them to take him in for a little bit while she focuses on her health. I left Florida 8 years ago and haven't even lived in the same time zone in 6 years. She can only check her email at work since she no longer has Internet at home. She had to cancel her home Internet service because of him. So, I decided to just put my brother's name into a search bar and the first thing that pops up is a FDLE sex offender's page. And holy shit has he gone downhill. He had a second arrest when he was 27 for the same thing, and then was caught in communications with another girl (like Chris Hansen sting) and was released from prison at the beginning of the year. And the mugshot.... You know the pale lady from the scary stories to tell in the dark movie? Think that, but with a patchy beard. Beady eyes, bad skin and all. According to the sheriff's office inmate search, he's been arrested 5 times in the last 10 years. Twice for lewd and lascivious battery of a minor (aged 12-15), once for solicitation of a minor, and twice for probation violations.
The TL/DR: abusive mom took all her frustrations out on me, blamed me for everything my brother did, hid my father's death from me until I was almost 18, and reaches out after 8 years of no contact and wants me to take care of her pedophile son while she's in poor health.
I'm attaching my response to her below.
Hi. I'm alive. I'm well. I'm also not okay with you contacting me, especially under the circumstances that you violated the privacy of your own sister to get my contact information. I have read your apologies and excuses and I do not accept either. You say I reminded you of Dad? He spent more time with me and showed more interest in my well-being than you ever did, and that's including the 6 years he was absent from my life by your own selfish design. Menopause? I find that hard to believe as this went on for the better part of half a decade and not once in that time did your attitude towards brother change. You always treated him with the same coddling infantile obsession and patience that one would show a toddler. It was and is clear that you have a preferred child as that adult-sized pile of shit is still living comfortably with dear old mama. I'm guessing no one else is willing to take him in? Are Uncle and Cousins afraid of him doing something to their daughters or grandchildren? I do believe you when you say you want to rebuild the bridge that you nuked from orbit years ago, but I can't believe it's not for your own selfish desires. And I can't find any reason or way my quality of life could be improved with your presence. The reality is, my life has been far better without you than it could be with you. I've never said this to anyone, but if there is a sense of karma and balance in the universe, your current situation is proof of that. The next time I see your name on my computer screen, had better be for your obituary. But since you and the monster you raised both decided to keep Dad's death a secret from me, and remove any choice I had to mourn or pay my respects, I'll return that kindness to you.
Please die away from me.

I hate to use a term a meme word like “culture vulture” but watching the new music video for Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s new song I Had Some Help, I struggle to find a more apt description. Being a decrepit, aging millennial, I remember Post Malone emerging on the scene with White Iverson. His cornrows and “grill” aesthetic already seemed dated at its debut. This was a signature look of the mid to late 2000s. Looking back, it seems too early in the cultural zeitgeist (I invite you to roll your eyes at the term “cultural zeitgeist”) to be parodied but what do I know? What is the angle, other than a “I am a wigger!”?
Hip hop is the last new form of art in music. I will not entertain EDM. It’s not that the genre is unable to create meaningful art. The medium has simply failed to strike the delicate balance of being culturally relevant and popular. This may seem reductive but see if your normie friends can name a Burial album.
Drunk, listening to Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song”, I have concluded that hip hop is in its death throes (before you ask, yes, because a black person is involved this is a hip hop song). With no new ground to till, popular artists like Post, Beyoncé and Lil durk have turned to country music. Why is country music seeing a resurgence? Hauntology. “I Had Some Help”references the idea of what country “is.” Trucks, ten gallon hats, American flag and a run down bar? This is not country, this is referencing country and the worst part is this is implied. This “reference” is not subtle, it is abject. Post Malone is the Valkyrie of western culture.
