I'm off from work and home in Toronto for the holidays. I'd be enjoying myself a lot more if I didn't still have a bad case of bronchitis, which I'm sure I contracted from one of my students. I'm just hoping that I start to feel a bit better, because I have things to do and people to see.
My favourite Aunty and Uncle forced me to come over for dinner at their place last night. They wouldn't take no for an answer when I told them that my cough sounds like death and that I felt like shit. They WANTED me there. Aside from my immediate family, my other family members were there. It was nice to see a slew of young cousins that have grown immensely since I last saw them.
What irked me beyond words was the fact that my fifteen year old cousin, who once thought the world of me and who I treated like a younger sister has totally changed. Everything about her is different. Her look, her attitude, EVERYTHING. She's turned into the type of person I loathed in high school and I don't know what caused this change. She used to tell me everything and come to me with all of her problems, but it seems like she thinks that she's more evolved than I am now.
Most of the time when I'd look in her direction, she'd look away with her nose up in the air. I felt like hitting her over the head with a pillow and asking her "What the hell is wrong with you?" but clearly, it wasn't the place or the time.
I went through phases when I younger where I just wanted to be alone when I was trying to "find" myself. But I was never, ever rude to anyone- especially those that were always nice to me. I have a feeling that her mother (my uncle's crazy wife) has been brain washing her with false ideas regarding moi.. My aunt hasn't been too fond of me since I told her off during my last visit. She was being her usual annoying, miserable self and was attempting to yell at my mom for no apparent reason. Obviously, being my mother's keeper, I verbally fought back and my Aunt has been "against" me ever since.
Seriously, it's all such middle school drama. My aunt is a shit disturber who really can't stand anyone around her to be happy. She always has something negative to say and is continuously gossiping and attempting to bring people down. I'm not even going to get into all the things that she has done to my poor uncle (her husband, my mom's brother).
It's just unfortunate that my cousin is allowing her crazy mother to impede her thought process. This is not the girl I knew a year ago. She has changed immensely. So much so, that I don't think that I have ever known anyone to make such a drastic change in behaviour in such a short period of time.
I'm so over the both of them. All I can do is *hope that my cousin has some kind of epiphany and realizes that she's being a brat. Until then, I'm keeping my distance.
