My cousin Lena, who I posted about and removed a while back is driving me batty.

Slight backstory-Lena is my paternal cousin. Uncle Jackass is my maternal uncle. They are together. Engaged to be exact.

Uncle Jackass has been married 3 times prior. His 2nd marriage yielded 3 (now adult) children and his 3rd marriage 2 children ages 10 and 13.

The 10 & 13 year olds have visitation with Uncle Jackass 49/50 in favor of ex #3. They reside with my cousin Lena and her two children ages 5 and 12.

Their home is hell on earth 90% of the time and Uncle Jackass is a totally disengaged from his own children's needs and is Disney Dad to his boys (10 & 13) and an evil tyrant to Lena's girls (ages 5 and 12).

I personally have disengaged from the Drama with them, despite Lena and I having a close relationship, because quite frankly she falls into the "ask hole" category and it really harshs my mellow.

Things have gotten to the point where she has dragged my whole family (mom, gram, my (paternal) aunt and my uncle) into their relationship. I literally can't even.

Then last night she calls me at 10:57pm asking if I know where my other Uncle-Uncle Buck is (now this is my youngest maternal uncle who is 47 years old).

He's a 47 year old man. I was asleep. I work. I can hear Uncle Jackass in the background telling her what to ask me-Have I seen him, do I know where he is (he's my neighbor)-he hasn't let his dogs out yatayata.

I get a call from Uncle Buck this morning telling me he's grown and he doesn't need people keeping tabs on him. I told him that Lena and Uncle Jackass were looking for him and called me. I called my mom in the morning to make sure Uncle Buck was found and is okay.

WTF I have enough drama starters in my life. Why the constant attention seeking? No one flung any plates at each other in a week so you need to stir the pot? Like seriously? GROW UP.

Sorry I had to vent it out.
