what a stressful weekend...

[illusion_is_mine]

     This past weekend was really crazy.  My grandfather threatened my grandmother again.  About a month or so ago he threatened her over him accusing her of spending his money.  She has control over the money he gets from the VA, because they deemed him incompetent to handle his own finances.  This *money* he's talking about was stolen by some douche-bag that he let in his house.  The guy ended up getting murdered, and it was a huge mess.  But I need to point out that this happened years ago.  I'll also say that my grandfather was involved with some extremely shady people, and they stole money from him because he let them in his house.  From what I understand he has dementia, and is not thinking rationally.  So that brings us to Saturday when he threatened my grandmother, my dad, my aunt, and my uncle claiming that "they needed to get out of his house!!!"  and called the police on them.  Ironically enough after the police realized what was going on they were going to take him to jail if my dad hadn't stopped them. It was a huge mess, and my grandmother ended up staying with us from Saturday until today.  

     She left a few hours ago to stay at my aunt's house.  He has been abusive,  and mistreating my grandmother for many many years, but yet and still she's constantly defending him, and worrying about his well being.  It's extremely frustrating.  We tried to talk some sense into her, but it's up to her to make a decision so we're hoping she makes the right one.  For now I can't really say how it will turn out.  Also my brother has been being a total jerk about the whole situation.  I'd rather not get into that though because honestly I'm more concerned about my grandmother.  

 

     Also we think our neighbors are partaking in some illegal activity.  I don't want to be too specific about it, but most of the people in the neighborhood are pretty sure that is what's happening.  They were in front of their house at 2AM yesterday yelling and screaming at each other.  Apparently one of the women was screaming hysterically like someone was trying to hurt her.  My mom got up and saw that they were dragging her so she called the police.  They came out and put a someone in the police car, and the woman screaming in the ambulance so I have no idea what's going on.  Needless to say the people next door are assholes, and are really bringing down our once really quiet neighborhood.  My dad came home from work and realized that since they'd put their trash in our previously empty trash bin.  I know it was them because I saw a guy walking around the house shortly before my dad came home.  He was furious, and rightfully so.  These people have been doing shit constantly since they moved over here.  We're sort of afraid to confront them due to the type of illegal activity we think they're involved in, and we don't want any retaliation towards us since my mom is home alone a lot during the day when me, and my dad are at work.
 

    I just don't understand why people have to be so shitty to each other.  This world is so fucked up these days.
