My ex would always yell at me for pointless stuff and make me cry in front of his friends. They didn’t even like him, they just tolerated him.

My sister’s friend would blame my sister for stupid things and try to say it’s my sister’s fault, not hers. She would yell at her too and try to pass it off as a joke.

I have an aunt who I knew drank a lot but I never personally experienced anything other than the occasional late night "Love you soooo much!!!" when she'd be drinking. She is single with two kids who I get along with nicely and I've always wondered why she was single. Then I saw that I got the clean end of a really long stick of shit. She'd text her sisters, my other aunts, telling them they were dead to her, her kids don't stay home much with her anymore, and she started to tell my mom, who is staying with me, that she should leave. She even tried to attack my sister when she visited me.

I had no idea. Now, I don't see much of her anymore.
