She's attempted to contact me three times over the Easter weekend, and I've ignored each attempt. So, I get my updates from my mother.
Uncle is out of jail, and drunken aunt and uncle are going to marriage counseling and AA meetings. They also recently bought my cousin a "big boy bed" and are going to clean out his bedroom.
Aside - their five year old (will be six in June) has slept with them, in their bed, since he was diagnosed with his immune disorder at 6 months old. Her defense of this is that he was always scared to be left alone in his crib because he spent lots of time in hospital cribs, with nurses and doctors poking him and whatnot. Subsequently, his bedroom has become a hoarded mess - but apparently they are going to "fix this," together.
I don't believe that just because she and my uncle will be going to marriage counseling, that she will give up her boyfriend. She loves the drama of it all way too much.
I also don't believe that because they are going to AA meetings that it will fix their chronic problems with alcohol. Bitch needs some serious detox and to be in rehab, but, ooooooooh well.
