I stopped supporting my brother’s family after he said, “No place for losers.” That’s why I wasn’t invited to Christmas. Now he’s losing it. In fact, I was excited for Christmas this year.
I wasn’t rushing to finish everything at the last minute for once. I had purchased gifts for my parents, my brother Jacob, his wife Kelly, and their children before the first week of December. I even purchased extra presents in case there were any unannounced visitors.
I have no idea why, but I had the impression that this year would be successful. I was really taken aback when my mom opened the door and said, “We don’t want you here this year,” as I was standing on my parents’ front porch, holding a bag of wrapped gifts in each hand. At first I assumed it was a strange joke.
I began to chuckle, but Jacob’s voice interrupted her from behind. His words. “This is no place for losers.
You’re really starting to wear on all of us.”
I simply stood there and gazed at her. My dad was in the background, staring nervously everywhere except at me, without saying a word. Despite her uneasy appearance, my mother didn’t retreat, and Jacob… Jacob was utterly arrogant.
I had a flurry of feelings, including humiliation, rage, and perplexity. However, I managed to remain composed. “Fine.
If that’s how you feel,” I said, nodding, and then I made my way back to my car. Something inside of me changed as I sat in the driveway and gazed at the bags of gifts in the passenger seat. No place for losers.
Tired of me. From where did this originate? I suspected Jacob was responsible, but I was unable to determine why.
What happened next changed everything… FULL STORY on the next page.
