It seems like this guy's uncle and biological father are having a nostalgic episode, reliving their ten-ish-year-old selves, the magical age where rule-breaking feels like a calling and boundaries are just challenges waiting to be ignored. That's probably why they treated this man's apartment like the spooky "no trespassing" area of the neighborhood, jumping the metaphorical fence with all the grace of kids daring each other to explore the abandoned house on the block. Only, instead of finding treasure, they found a family-sized pile of resentment.  

The uncle, who apparently moonlights as an amateur chaos coordinator, ignored a long-standing, very very simple rule, a real easy to follow "don't bring my biological father around" rule. He showed up uninvited, dragging the estranged dad through the front door like a prize he won at a carnival.

  • Predictably, this did not end pretty. The evening ended in frustration, pillow-screaming, and another family member black-booked. Banned the uncle from future visits. 

    The only thing left for us to hope is that these two adventurers enjoyed their little out-of-bounds excursion, because the only thing they achieved was being permanently grounded.

  • father in over a year, recently after my grandmother's funeral he left several messages on my voicemail asking me to call him of which all I deleted because I had nothing to say to him. I already told him straight to his face nearly two years ago that I do not want him in my life.

  • situation even though he could clearly see that I was ped off, shortly after arriving he left so the old man could talk with me one on one.

  • The whole conversation essentially amounted to us talking in circles with him saying how sorry he was for letting his wife ab e me and wanted to come back into my life and me just stonewalling while telling him that I didn't care about the past and wanted him to leave.

  • Eventually he finally got the message that I would not change my mind and left, as soon as he was gone I locked the door behind him and had a mini mental breakdown I threw some stuff around, screamed into my pillow, then just went to sleep.

  • All I know is the next time I call my uncle, I'm gonna tell him to stop visiting me because I no longer believe that I can trust his intentions.

  • Dapper Violinist9631 Cut your uncle off too. That was a complete violation of your wishes and if he can be so casual about and then also leaving without your dad, that's inexcusable. I'm so sorry that happened.

  • You did well sticking to your boundaries and not being sucked back in. Is his wife he's talking about your birther or step?

  • SnooComics3275 I wouldn't even call the uncle after that. Time to move and tell no one if you're able to. Could help you feel more in control. But it sux to feel like you'd have to do that just to feel safe in your own space. Just sux all around. I'm sorry op. What a betrayal of trust!!!
