Well I finally figured out why I hate my cousin so much, other than the self-destructive jackassery that is.
The other day I was talking to my brother about what's been going on and I realized that my cousin treats her son just like my father treated me. And at about the same age too.
When I was five my father started cheating on my mom and treated me like I was just some inconvenience to him so of course my parents got divorced. On the few occasions he came to see me when I was still a kid half the time you could smell weed on him and I remember my mom ripping into him about it. Well last year I finally told him I didn't want to see or hear from him anymore and after I put "return to sender" on a card I got last Christmas he hasn't tried to contact me again.
So anyway I see how my cousin treats her son and he acts the exact same way I did way back when. He wants to see his mother but she wont even talk to him on the phone let alone stop by for a bit. The last time our aunt talked to her after she took her car she flat out said she "didn't want him to see her like this." Well at least she has some clue that what she's doing is wrong even if she wont do anything about it.
Really I feel sorry for the kid since while I know what he's going through I really can't help him with it. He'll have to sort out his anger and whatnot over the years to come. I just hope when the time comes he'll have the resolve to tell her to fuck off once and for all.
