LovetoCauseMayhem Some Badass Name Maybe we can... But don't turn this around on me stare >.> Sorry, just telling you how I felt when you decided to actually have a life, lol -sadface- It wasn't that, just that I had to move out of my mom's and on my own and eventually lost my internet and computer. I missed you and Azra and Amgeo... and I feel totally responsible for the demise of our little group and suddenlt abandoning you guys, and my own guild.

Well, baby, the Azra and Amego thing wasn't your fault. Azra wasn't coming around anymore and Amego had already told us he had wanted to quit. It wasn't your fault. D: I'm sorry life was hard for you, honey. But you've returned to us, empowered and in love, and ready to start anew. biggrin The guild is still here, its members still active - you really haven't lost anything. In fact, you may have gained a bunch more than what you had when you left. biggrin *lovehuggles*

Okay, so I need to rant or something like that. Now, this family issue is the reason why I've disappeared off of Gaia for ages, going on and off again. Sheesh, hard to believe last time I was here, I was only thirteen. Now I'm gonna be sixteen in a couple of months-- not the point. Okay.
So.. not sure where to begin. Er.. back in eighth grade--so around the time I was back on here, thirteen years old, I was super close with my father's side of the family. I had my aunts, Hope, Diane, and Heather, and Uncle Don. Hope and Diane were married, Heather and Don were engaged. Things were as perfect as can be. We saw each other as much as we could, had an amazing summer together, and in the fall of my eighth grade year, we went to Disney World together. I think that trip was what started things, because Don and Hope got into an argument, and after that, everything went all downhill. That following summer, I discovered that Don and Heather had broken up, because Heather wasn't happy because Don refused to allow the both of them to speak with Hope and Diane. Also, he broke his promise to Heather that they would have kids, and then he took her money to buy merchandise for his book, that he was supposed to sell if his book was famous enough--but it didn't get famous. So.. yeah. They broke up, and Heather was with Hope and Diane, but she didn't visit us at all. That summer, instead, we hung out with Hope and Diane.. they took us to a soccer game, to the theaters, and to an amusement park. After bringing us home from the amusement park, Diane turned to Hope on their way home and said that it wasn't working.. and they separated. Diane left our lives, and for a man, no less. Hope, distraught, decided to start anew and had plans on moving all the way to California, which is across the country. Heather, meanwhile, found another boyfriend.
It's almost been a year since the trouble really escalated. Hope left for California. We discovered that Heather's boyfriend, Bret, lived in a trailer and had no job, so she was supporting him by herself. Then, we discovered that he was abusive. He drank, and then hit her. Apparently, it happened every night, and I've seen the bruises to prove it. In early spring time, she tried to commit suicide for the first time. She took a mix of alcohol and pills, but while she was drunk and high, she called her ex-boyfriend (apparently they were still friends) and told her that she was doing this. Don called an ambulance and they saved her. My parents decided to take her in, and so Heather stayed with us for a bit. However, she left her things at the trailer.. so she went back to get them, and my dad went with her in order to make sure she would actually get her things and leave. Thing is, Heather tried to leave, but then Bret would break down, cry, and apologize, and Heather would feel too guilty to leave. After Dad was waiting in his car for a half hour without Heather getting out, I guess Bret was trying to throw things at Heather, so Dad called the police, and they arrived. Dad had gone in to grab Heather, and Bret looked at my dad and said that he had fun beating up Heather, my dad's sister. The police threatened to take them both downtown, but didn't do anything about Bret--they just escorted Dad and Heather out and that was that. Dad encouraged Heather to get a restraining order, and she went her own way to do that.
Under the impression that she had gotten the restraining order on Bret, we made sure Heather returned home, which she did, and we had all her things inside the house, and I thought everything would be okay.. but then that night, Bret had found our number and called our house. I was terrified. My parents called the police, but it turned out that they couldn't arrest Bret because Heather had not filed for a restraining order after all. My parents were upset. In the end, we told her that she could not stay and endanger the family if she wasn't going to file for a restraining order. Heather couldn't bring herself to do it; so she left--and went right back to his house.
That was about the last we'd had to get ourselves involve until a couple months later, when she called my father in tears and told her goodbye and she loved him. Another suicide attempt. We called the police, we freaked out, and a few hours later the police found her parked outside of Dunks. Now, there's an officer in town who was actually once Heather's husband. They divorced, but now they also remain friends, because Heather's the sort of person to want to keep in contact with her more important exes. So the ex talked to her, she came back here to talk with my dad, and the next morning she was on her way.
A month later, she visited with Chinese food. We talked, we hung out, things seemed alright. I thought she was happier, but as it turned out, she wasn't. I saw more bruises, and I found out that she had quit every job she applied for. She'd get a new job, but she would never show up, and then eventually, she would quit. It was a repeated pattern. Then, just last month, she called yet again, making another threat to commit suicide, but that was thwarted. I found out that night that the reason why she never showed up to work was because she was constantly in the hospital, because Bret was still beating her.
That was the last we heard from her until just last week, when she called Dad, but I didn't know why she called. Just today, I found out that she had asked Dad that if she was to get married, would we support her. My dad replied that if she was truly, truly happy, then we would always be there for her. And that was that.
My grandmother, later on, snooped around on Bret's facebook, and saw this status: "Just married my best friend."
I don't know what to think... I can't believe Heather would marry the man who has ruined her life. I don't want to believe it, but Bret hasn't been hanging with anyone else and unless it was some sort of joke, he wouldn't marry some girl while being in a "relationship" with Heather. I don't know what to do.

Jesus, honey. That's a lot to be dealing with.
I'm sorry that things are so hard right now. I hope for your family's sake and for your aunt's that she realizes that this man is no good for her and gets out. But sometimes things like this happen and there's nothing you can do - I have an aunt that I will never meet because her husband completely destroyed all her relationships with all her family members.
If you ever need to talk about anything, you know where to find me.

Some Badass Name Alright, alright.... I'll stop being emo... Thanks for that. -huggles back- Now... are we technically in a three some with Silent or wha~ Haha, mebe. If she consents. razz But then again, it's not rape if you yell surprise first. >.> @ Tended: I'm sorry for that, honey. D: But we women are all pretty patient and easy to talk to, so I'm sure if you need help, there's gonna be at least one of us who's there for you, if not two or three or all. Yeah, I have an ex-aunt that was abused by my uncle. He's an a*****e and she was just the sweetest thing. I never get to see her anymore. I just hope she's found happiness somewhere else with a man that actually treats her right.
