I Really Need To Vent Right Now

Hi, my name is Christine. I used to be known as sungyeolbaekhyun87 but I decided to make a new account mostly for my stories which I'm hoping will be up sometime soon. Anyways if you don't know me I'll try to explain things as best as I can.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy and in the last three or four years I have had on going seizures, some would be a month apart and others would be a couple of months apart. I have been put on lots of medication for it, but I am happy to say that I have not had a seizure in six months and am doing very well on the medication that I am on right now, but I do get really bad mood swings which can be a pain sometimes.

Another thing that has been going on in my life is that my childhood best friend, Emory's current boyfriend is being very disrespectful towards my family lately. I currently hate his guts. Anyways, this will be a long story to explain so bare with me. Three years ago Emory had a little boy named Dorian who I love to peices with her first boyfriend Markus but he ended up leaving a couple of years ago because Emory had started talking to a friend of his online and they started dating. (I honestly don't blame Markus for leaving and frankly, I like him a million times more than I like her current boyfriend.) This new boyfriend's name is Keith, he's from America and he came here to Canada to be with Emory. He isn't a Canadian citizen yet and I honestly doubt that he'll ever try to become a citizen, but that's a different story. At first my family all seemed to like him, but recently he's been acting like a complete . It all started when my family was helping them move to a new house. This was in June or July I think, but anyway, there had been a few days when we couldn't help them with things because the one day we had to take my younger brother Matthew to the hospital because he was having chest pains, and we also had some days where we had appointments in the city that we had to go to. (We live in a small town.) Every year my older sister, Amanda volunteers with some family friends at the exhibition in Regina Saskatchewan, (It's basically like an amusement park) and it was the day before Amanda was going to leave to the city to help with the parade that they hold and we had gotten a text from Emory asking if we could babysit Dorian for them but my Mom had a really bad headache so we couldn't watch him and my sister texted that to her and ended up getting a text back saying something along the lines that we are unreliable and always making excuses. You see, Amanda was in a car accident back in 2011 and was later diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and she has a really hard time dealing with stress so she got really upset and felt kinda betrayed, but she texted back saying that we had done alot for them and then got a text back that saying that it was Keith who had texted. To say that my sister was mad would be an understatement. She would tell us that she basically wanted to go over to their house and beat the crap out of him. Amanda and I don't really have the best relationship so I pretty much got the brunt of her anger, which hurt me because I had been going through alot of at the time as well. Anyways, back to Keith, I think it was a couple of days later my Mom and younger sister Stephanie went over there to try and talk to them about what was going on. She started telling Keith that he needed to talk to Amanda and try and fix things between them, but he just says that there's nothing to fix and muttered something about excuses and broken promises and leaves the room like the little that he is, so my Mom talked to Emory about it and just before my Mom and Stephanie decided to leave, my Mom went to Keith and again tried to talk to him about what was going on and once again said something about excuses and when my Mom asked what the excuses were, he has the gull to tell my Mother to just leave and that there was nothing to talk about. When I found out what he did, I was beyond pissed. Something that you will learn about me is that NO ONE and I mean NO ONE, disrespects my Mother. This was the thing that pretty much made me lose it. I suffer from depression and I was already having a hard time because my cat had gone missing and it was tearing me up inside, not to mention the mood swings caused by the new medication I was put on. I think it was like a month later and my Mom and Stephanie had decided that we would invite Emory, Keith and Dorian over so that we could again try and sort things out and we even got a friend that my Mom works with to be there to be a mediator I guess. When the day finally came, Amanda had prepared a letter to read to them explaining how she felt and her concerns, but anyways when they came I was surprised because it wasn't Amanda who snapped at him, it was me. I'm not normally the type to do things like that so I think it surprised everyone there, but that comes later so as I was saying. They had all sat down and Amanda had started talking and reading some of her letter and Keith started acting the way he did that day when my Mom went over to talk and was saying that there was nothing to talk about and he gets up to leave I spoke up and said, "What, so you're just gonna leave?" I can't really remember what he said after that because I was already getting extremely angry, so as he was leaving I said, "Fine good riddence." and he comes back in and I knew he was going to say something so I had given him this look basically daring him to say something else that was stupid, but I guess he got the message and left. Again, I couldn't believe that I had actually done that, but after he left I couldn't hold in the tears and anger anymore so I left the room and went to my bedroom to try and calm down. Eventually after balling for God only knows how long and went back out there and sat at the computer to watch some Kpop while everyon else talked to Emory. I did eventually apologize to Emory for the way that I acted, (I wasn't really sorry about it, I just wanted to let Emory know that I wasn't mad at her.) and they eventually all left.

I was mad for days afterwards and whenever I saw Keith I would avoid him at all costs and vice versa. It's been a quite a few months now and he pretty much acts like none of this ever happened, but now every time he tries to talk to me I shoot him down and act cold towards him because I'm still mad that he never apologized for being an to my Mother and sister, but I'm really trying to work on it.He still does and says stupid things and I'm not sure if he realizes it but we still don't trust him and there will always be tension between us. I honestly wish that he would get deported but stupidly Emory got pregnant before all of this happened and considering that Dorian's Dad isn't in his life I don't want Delilah (The new baby.) to have to go through that too. 

Holy crap, that was alot longer than I intended it to be, but I really needed to vent about this or I might've gone crazy. Thanks to everyone who actually reads through this entire rant.

I really hope that this Keith person isn't treating your best friend terribly, seeing as how ty his personality seems to be when he doesn't get his way. Emory good luck, ahh!! I hope things get better for everyone and that the kids wont be living in a toxic household in the future..

Hello! It sounds like this boyfriend is terrible!!! And sadly it sounds like he won't change. What does your friend say about her boyfriend's behavior? It sounds like a lot fighting!
