I was only 5 when I lost my grandfather. Everyone as pappy knew him. My family wasn’t the greatest so when he died it made things a lot worse. My grandmother Judy had walked out on us I guess you could say. It wasn’t the best time in my life. I had gone 10 years wondering why she done that to us. I hated that women for years and I still do. She would come around and try to see us but it never worked I wanted nothing to do with her. When she sent gifts on my birthday I would throw them away. But it really made me mad when she tried to replace a great man. He could never been replaced. But last year I went through so much stuff because of her. No 16 years old should go through it. I was more worried about my brother though. He had no clue what was going on. But like I was saying. This year I had decided I would give her one more chance and that’s how the rest of the family felt. So we started to go around and things were fine but after awhile mainly Christmas time I started to see who she really was. She favored Cole and Gabe. She was treating me and my bother like the third wheel. Eventually things got bad again and we stopped going to her house. So we started to go to my uncles house and come to find out she was telling lies. But one day during last summer my dad and uncle went out on a bike ride and it was I my mom, brother, aunt and gabby that were still at the house. Well my brother had no clue why we stopped talking to them so he wanted to go over and see what was going on so my mom let him. Judy’s words to him were that it was his and my fault that things had gotten so bad and that he needed to get the hell back over on Chris’s side of the yard. My brother came back crying so my mother and me were flipping out. It took everything I had to not go over to her house a smack her so much an all that. My dad finally got home and my dad was trying to hold my mom back because she was trying to get to Judy. Well she made it into her yard and things got crazy and fights almost broke out. But in the end we stopped talking to all of them because we were being played by all of them.
