What is family for?

You know how everyone says family will always be on your side and always be understanding? It's a lie!!!

I have always been really close with my cousin. I was her wedding planner and we were best friends. She is the one I helped plan a surprise birthday party for her fiance'. I spent the night with her on Saturday night. I got my hair highlighted and the next morning her mom was going to cut it for me. Well, I got up early Sunday morning and left. I came home and went to bed because I hadn't been sleeping good and I was tired. Well...

She called me at like noon and I was still sleep so I ignored her call. Then my boyfriend called at like 1 and woke me up and I talked to him. While I was on the phone with him she called me 16 times. Finally I gave up on ignoring her call and answered it. She said first thing "I want my money back!" Well... to make a long story short... She accused me of stealing $100 from her.

Ok... I told her I have already been to jail once and I don't want to go back so why would I do something that stupid? She said "How do I know you didn't like it and don't want to go back?" I told her she doesn't know the hell I went through everyday that I was there.

Later, she called and said my dad took her $100 and told her to keep it and if they find thier money bring it back. I confronted my dad and he said he did it to get her to leave me alone and to get her to shut up.

I went to church and of course my phone was on vibrate. She called me 4 times while I was in church. I took my phone off of vibrate and checked my voice mails... I had 2... one from her and one from her fiance'. I was talking with one of the other church members and she called again. I picked up the phone and asked her what was so important that she had to call me 4 times while I was at church? She hung up on me!!

Well... I got to my car and I called back and her finace' answered. I said, "You called me what do you want." He said "We're sorry about accusing you for taking the money and your dad is going to get his money back. We were wondering if you wanted to go to Denny's and get a cup of coffee and talk about this?" I told him," After the things she [my cousin] said and did to me I don't think so. I have tried so hard to get my life back on track and it is people like her who make me want to go and get drunk all over again. I needed a friend, and what she said and did wasn't very friend-like. You guys really hurt me and if all I had to worry about was if you guys were mad at me or not, I would be pretty well off. I have washed my hands of the whole thing and I have washed my hands of you both. I love you and I hope you have a good life."

I think I did pretty good at keeping my cool. I can't believe someone I am so close to would accuse me of stealing money from her. If I needed money she would be the last person on earth I would go to. I would never think of stealing money especially from her. I would go to my parents if I ever needed money.

What is family? Just to cut you down and claim they love you? If so... I never want to be part of anyones family.

Time to go....
