Family landed us here
What can I say ? When we moved to Redmond for this Repo job I never knew it would be this hard. We moved in with my Aunt and Uncle at first because they allowed us to, they wanted to help us get on our feet. When we first moved in to their house, it was nice to be about family I haven't seen since I was a freshman in high school (2001). In the beginning we would all talk, laugh, and they would help me though the hard times of Brandon being gone. Over the course of a month we all became distant and angry. My aunt was missing her daughter who moved to cali. my uncle ignored the problems that were visible even to a blind person, and my cousin Nicole was the only I could find my self talking to. Problems became so bad that I started to go to my mom's house just to avoid the dirty looks, and hurtful texted comments from my aunts phone about me and my daughter. People need other people to vent to and so I vented to Nicole, Dustin, Brandon, My sister, Sam, pretty much anyone who would listen. I had and still have so much anger towards my aunt and my uncle that I wish that I can just get over. We lived there for about three months (maybe less) before both my Aunt's, Grandma, and Cousin Nicole took a trip to Cali to visit my aunt's daughter and there is when hell broke lose. My dear, caring brother asked my grandma why my Aunt say's thing's about his niece and me, and like always, my grandma blew everything out of per portion. To this day I do not know what was all said, only what my brother told me. I was in Washington visiting my sister when my husband called me and told me that my own uncle kicked us out... My thought was, "What the hell just happened?" How can a family member kick another family member out? To be honest, I did everything for them; I cooked, tidied up after the kids, did the dishes and most of all bought all the food that needed to be bought for the whole house. I have to say, it wasn't a surprise that they kicked us out, my aunt and uncle always pined me and my cousin against each other ever since we were little, now they seen me living there as me trying to take her place...So far from the truth. But through them kicking us out we ended up living with Brandon's bosses and let me tell you, these people mean the world to us both. All three of them. L, M, and T took us in when we had no where to go, they love us as one of there own, and most of all they don't hide how they feel from us. If we get on their nerves they tell us, if they need us to pitch in a bit more in the house, they tell us. This repo job might be a stressful one and at times depressing but it is worth getting to know these three amazing people and their families. Brandon and I have our up's and down's about this job but that is for another post. Until then, keep car payments paid and we will never go your way.
