Woke up angry today. Now I'm somewhere that isn't angry, but it doesn't seem very pleasant either.

Apparently, after I defeated Jealousy the other night, Self-Hate planned and executed a massive counter-attack while I was sleeping. I woke up and could only provide minor resistance to the occupying forces. :/

I really wanted to go to this lunch thing for a new juvenile court judge, but cannot. There would've presumably been food involved and a chance to get to know what I may potentially be dealing with. I have no idea. Would've been nice all the same.

I usually hate talking shop (law) but seeing as this was more of a work thing than that....

Good news about my sister, she's recovering at a rate even I find hard to believe. They're saying that she'll still be in the hospital for at least two weeks, though.

Unfortunately, some idiot family member told her about her boyfriend and baby in a way that they assumed we already told her. Can't imagine her taking that very well.
Holy shit, I obviously missed this story.

Jesus....my condolences and thoughts to your and your family.

My sister had a bank account, that she closed, and canceled all automatic payments coming out of, but an automatic payment still hit it so the bank reopened the account, so they could bounce the payment twice and charge two bounced check fees. And since my sister has no money left at all, their automatic system figured out that we are related and took money from my fucking account.

My mother has accepted that the only way that they can make ends meet, even with me paying all their rent and utilities, is for my sister to declare bankruptcy. Now all we need to do is convince my sister to do that without becoming more depressed/suicidal/dysfunctional.

I've already put myself at great risk and dramatically increased my monthly bills by taking them in. I can't afford to bail them out any more.

And to top it all off, they do nothing but sit around the house all day, sleep or watch tv. My mother keeps telling me I should exercise, but they wont move their fucking huge ass piles of worthless shit in the garage so that one might walk through it, much less allow me to get my bicycle out. She has it in her head that I am the dysfunctional one because I can't work 8 to 12 hours a day, and then come home and deal with anything when all she can do is spew empty christian rhetoric at me, ignorant baseless political positions and the latest news of her unending suffering for hours every day.

There is a reason I moved the fuck out when I was 17. This shit is twerking my last nerve.

^Tell her the church frowns upon those who do nothing to help themselves or others.^

In the more politically important ones (like the one I stopped attending and now may have to again) they judge you on a lot more than your ethic, which you seem to think she might improve.

Depression or no you need to remind her that as a presumed grown woman she has obligations to herself, her community, her church, and God.  The church believes selfless deeds are in fact a key part of piritual health, or at least the christian ones around my part do...  I do hope this kind of helps...

*brofist*

My mother sounds very similar (useless, broke, piles of junk everywhere). Went up to visit her last week and realized that the reason I don't visit more often is the same reason I don't go to the doctor very often: I know shit's broken, I just don't want to know how badly broken. She cancelled her health insurance because it was too expensive, then lost her Medicaid coverage because she had too much assets, thanks to a $10,000 CD she inherited that we didn't know about. So she spent a chunk of that to get below the threshhold, then lost her coverage anyways because she failed to show up for a meeting she claims she wasn't notified of.

She had two friends move in with her, to "help pay utilities and rent and keep the place fixed up". They're in as poor physical shape as she is. Lawn hadn't been mown in months, place is slowly deteriorating. Did I mention that I'm her landlord, and the only "rent" I charge is asking her to pay the property taxes on the place? *sigh*

And I didn't even move out when I was a teenage, she had custody removed when I was 6 because she had fucked up her life so bad. I literally owe this woman nothing but some DNA. She's little more than a distant relative in my eyes.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Won't help. After we got out of the shitstorm that was my fathers religion, she returned to her southern baptist roots but was rejected by them for the unforgivable sin of divorcing a brutal psychopathic madman, then she went methodist for a while and now she is "non-denominational" because they rejected her for being poor. And besides that, I am very much an theologically literate atheist, an appeal the the church is worse than an appeal to faith, which is worse than pretty much everything else that I could do say short of intentionally pushing all of her emotional buttons.

My mother is disabled, she has legitimate reasons she can't do much. But my step father isn't. And my sister isn't disabled in a way that would keep her from doing occasional housework in the times when she isn't suffering a migraine.

What I need is for my mother to stop spewing shit that I am going to feel obligated to defend against and refute. And for my stepfather and sister to occasionally get off their asses and be productive, because they are relying on me or my crippled mother to take care of them both financially and in every other way.

My sister had a bank account, that she closed, and canceled all automatic payments coming out of, but an automatic payment still hit it so the bank reopened the account, so they could bounce the payment twice and charge two bounced check fees. And since my sister has no money left at all, their automatic system figured out that we are related and took money from my fucking account.
This seems incredibly, incredibly illegal.

The bank assures me that it isn't. I'm looking for a new bank.

Unless it was a shared account, or you count as their caretaker, it isn't. Being related isn't enough. I would strongly consider talking to a lawyer about this. Also, which bank was this? I want to make sure to never, ever bank with them.

The bank is Regions. My sister was never on my account. Even though we share the same last name and now the same address.

That is illegal, hands down. Unless you have a shared account, (either her on yours, or you on hers. In the second case, it could reasonable be assumed the bill was for you), they have zero legal justification for this. They stole from you. Talk to a lawyer, or at the very least take them to petty court.

COME AT ME BRO. *hug*

Saddest part is, I'm basically waiting for her to die so we can sell the house (after we rent a bulldozer to push the piles of junk out of the house...seriously, it's borderline to an episode of Hoarders) and split the money three ways to go for college funds for our two kids and my half-brother's daughter. Meanwhile, he's fucking up his life by cheating on his girlfriend while still working out the divorce from his ex-wife and trying to get custody of their daughter because an unmarried Army grunt with a live-in girlfriend is STILL a better home environment that his ex-wife would provide. *headdesk*

When other extended family members would tell me how proud they were of me, I always thought they were just being nice. Now I realize it was a polite way of saying "Good job on NOT being a fuck-up, considering what the rest of your branch of the tree looks like".

No question about it, if you weren't connected to her account, it's illegal. As Glyph said, talk to a lawyer.
