You know something must be wrong when I'd rather clean my room (which hasn't been touched in MONTHS) than hang out with them.

I find the whole situation very stressful. He is an alcoholic and is very unpleasant to be around. I wasn't asked about this, I was told I'd be doing it. It's ridiculous.

I've been putting it off as long as possible, but today I had to speak to him. He of course was drunk. He offered me $3000 in exchange for certain control over my financial and educational choices. I turned him down flat, but he won't take no for an answer. I will never allow myself to be indebted to this man.

He uses his money as a way to control people. He assumes if he buys us things that we'll like him and ignore the fact that he's a raging alcoholic.

I'm trying very hard to be nice and not cause trouble, because I know my mom would get caught in the middle and my aunt would have a fit. But believe me, it's taking every ounce of will power I have when he keeps telling me "just think about it... the offer's out there."

If I could tell him what I really thought. Now that would be nice.
