So my Douche Bro (who is an abusive narcissist) is in town this weekend (tonight to Sunday night) because he's deemed his birthday as a mandatory family holiday.

(For several years now. He has it catered for the family and a couple friends and it's super weird and narcissistic.)

Anyway. So in March he wrote me this email (mostly unprompted, I was asking for a favor) about how I'm a bully, manipulative, and a toxic presence in his life, so he's cutting me out. Which is hilarious because I've been wanting to cut him out of my life for ages but was trying to avoid the drama. So I'm actually suuuuuuuper happy about it.

(And later had a good laugh because even my parents pointed out that it's total projecting)

So I'm excused from the birthday stupidity. But it also makes his staying in the same house for the weekend (I'm currently living with my parents) super uncomfortable.

Also my parents have two cars. And mine died late last year and I've been casually shopping for a new one, but they've let me use theirs in the interim. My mom told me that it was mine while they were in town. But her memory's shit, so now she's like "THEY'RE GOOD TO BORROW IT TOMORROW MORNING, YES?"

And I can't really say no because it's not my car, but I have a bunch of stuff in the car and I just.. was told it was all mine, so was laboring under the assumption it was mine. And I don't actually mind sharing at all, except that I hate that bro.

(There's a long history of him abusing me, getting kicked out of the house, never apologizing, etc etc too)

And even though I started a new med, my old one still isn't out of my system and everything is awful.

Bleh, I sorry. That sounds really sucky.

Thanks chums.

my mom was like "you go about your life. this is your house and I don't want you to be uncomfortable" and I appreciate the thought but it's pretty impossible to not be uncomfortable
