Holidays bring out the worst in some family members why?

We Answered:

I don't think it's the holidays. Your uncle sounds like a year round person with some major issues. You can probably assume he is living for the moment and way beyond his means: buying a new TV was more important that putting that towards solving his money issues? He obviously doesn't want to hear the truth from you or from anyone else. You are from another planet, his wife is stupid...what else can he come up with to explain his misery. I think you should think twice before you try to help him. I know you were trying to help but he apparently has all the answers.

He sounds like many people in this world I encounter...just another miserable person, going around taking it out on others trying to make them miserable, too. I don't think it's you. You've been the best niece you can be. If he yells at you again, try to tell him the next time you talk that you don't have a clue why he chooses to be so mean to you when you are nothing but nice to him. Being related sometimes gives people the impression they can treat you how they want. After all, "you are family". That is SO not the case.

I had a very similar situation with my aunts who I no longer speak to because they treated me so poorly. I was tired of being talked about behind my back, lied to and shown disrespect. Just because their brother is my father doesn't give them the right to upset me the way they did. I guess you are not quite to that point but don't let anyone take advantage of your kindness, even an uncle. You'll be proud of youself.

a reverse mortgage question...?

We Answered:

in my opinion, they are perfect for people over age 50; the
money received monthly is not taxable and after 30 yrs, the
house must be re-financed to pay back the bank; a no brainer.
