Loser of a Nephew

So as we were attending the Re-union I see my nephew. He was sprawled in a lawn chair ordering the kids around like his little servants.

A short while later he comes over to where I'm sitting eating and starts telling me about his life lately. I look up at him and can just smile.

He explains to me how hard his life is and how he's misunderstood. He informs me the police up there are out to get him and every time he turns around they're hounding him. They even went so far as to trump up charges against him and get him fired from his last job. (The trumped up charges were for Assault with a deadly weapon, Assault with intent and resisting arrest. The entire thing was caught on tape from multiple angles.) (He got fired from his last job, commercial fisherman, for using drugs on board the boat.) He then tells me he needs to get out of the area and wants me to allow him to move in with us. I start laughing and flatly refuse telling him he would be dead within a month. He turned and stalked off to complain to his mother.

A short time later my sister comes over madder than a pissed on cat. She demands to know why I wouldn't take him in. I pointed at him and explained.

Yes he was a big boy. He stands at six feet and weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. He is also covered with Tats. Unfortunately his tatts are a joke. The tear drops coming from the outside of his eye. The Spiderweb on his elbow. The Maltese Cross on his back, all are meaningless if you don't know what they mean. Couple them with the fact that his shaved head is because of lice and not conviction. Couple these with the fact that his weight is just that, weight and not muscle.

What makes it worse is his language. Everyone is a Nigger or a Spick or a Kike or whatever racial epithet you can think of. Every other word is a curse.

What is sad is how he and his mother see nothing wrong with this.

It makes me happy that he doesn't share my last name.

I feel for you Cat...I have a stepson that is almost the same. He feels that his life is not his fault, that every time something in his life goes bad everyone else is at fault. Although he has stayed out of jail, it amazes me how, every time the police pull him over is because they have a grudge against him or because his hair is too long or some other bullshit...never because he did anything wrong.

Oh well, that life and there's not much you can do about that.
 
I, too, feel for you, SeaCat. My stepson has been 9 kinds of idiot so far. I am pleased to say that he seems to have started straightening his life out and being more adult lately. Oddly enough, it seems to be coincident with his stopping drinking--imagine that!

One of his cousins has not been quite so bright and is back in prison for a 10-year stretch for a variety of counts of armed robbery, hostages, and so on. He didn't learn the first time he was there. :(
 
Well, since your sister wouldn't say it, I'll say it: Good for you for refusing to take him in! Not only do you need to protect yourself and your family from the trouble this guy would cause, but he'll never turn his life around if he's protected from the consequences of his actions.
 
Yes, I'm sorry, I should've said so as well. Corylea's right: I think you made a good decision.
 
LOLOL

No need for being sorry.

Hell I'm still laughing about it and my wife is shaking her head.

This isn't the first time I have been asked to take him in and I'm sure it wont be the last. Each time I turn them down and my sister refuses to talk with me for several years. For some reason I don't mind this in the least.

Hey, Cat:

Not that you'd ever need this, but should the subject come up again in a few years, you might tell the nephew (and your sister) that he needs to have his optical rectitis successfully treated first.

(O.R., of course, is the medical condition where he's got his head so far up his ass that it's given him a shitty outlook on life...)

Just a thought...
 
I think I saw him on an episode of Cops. He was drunk and his wife-beater got tore off.
