#8: Family Feud

A lot of us can see good intentions gone bad in our own lives. One person shared how his uncle’s attempt to help him and his brother resulted in the whole family dynamic changing for the worse. Our storyteller and his brother went to live with their aunt and uncle because they could get a better education in their neighborhood. Everything would have been fine if it weren’t for the uncle’s wife.    

Our storyteller shared that his aunt made their lives awful and almost unbearable. For whatever reason, she mistreated the two boys and made it very difficult to live in their home. Their uncle, for whatever reason, didn’t do anything about it and sat idly by. As a result, the rest of our storyteller’s family doesn’t see this uncle the same way. His wife is, obviously, disliked by our storyteller’s parents and other relatives. While they know their uncle was only trying to help, things didn’t turn out the way he intended.
