I have a cousin who was like a best friend to me growing up. The last several times that I have seen him, he was not in a good place. He is a recovering addict now. He was in such a great place when I saw him last month. It was like I got that person back… except he legally changed his name to a woman’s name because he is fucked. That’s besides the point.
He got clean. He just started a new job, and moved into a condo with a friend. He is a frontline worker like me. He works with kids up north. He travels. Our uncle passed away a few weeks ago. He tried to fly in to visit him on his deathbed but couldn’t make it. His grandfather passed away a week later. Again, he was stuck up north. He raced back to see him but missed him by an hour.
His roommate turns out to be an actual narcissist. Probably BDP which is just a failed narcissist. These creeple can’t even do that right. He removed her from his Facebook and she called the cops on him. He called me to come support him when that happened, while the police were there. I work with kids, I’m not getting involved in anything. His roommate vowed to tarnish his name so he can’t work with kids as punishment for removing him from Facebook.
Now he broke his ankle. He slipped on some ice and had to call an ambulance. They had to do surgery on him. He’s not going to be back to work for months. I don’t think he even gets to keep his job. I lowkey get mad just thinking about how stupid everything is for him right now. When he flew in last, he hopped on the wrong plane. He missed his grandfathers funeral. Some people are just too in the moment. Think a few steps ahead please. Think something through. Think before you speak. He’s a dumb Aries. We complement each other pretty well. I ground him, and he pulls me out of my comfort zones.
Anyway, I take him, them? to a little famers market out of town tomorrow. I want to get him out of the house for a bit. If he starts using again, however, he will be dead to me which is just my default setting with addicts. They’re sociopaths, they don’t care who they use and hurt to get their fix. I will always prioritize myself.
