Petty Record
Several years back my uncle started treating my mom (his sister) so badly. He accused her of stealing with absolutely no justification, would scream at her on the phone almost daily, and threatened to sue her. His behavior was so shocking and seemed to come from out of nowhere that we all thought he’d had some sort of psychotic breakdown.
My grandmother convinced him and my mom to go to family counseling. At their first session he whipped out an old journal in which he had been keeping track of every time he felt slighted by my mom or her family. Thing went back almost 30 years!
One entry, for example, was from when I was 5 (I was in my late 20s when the therapy session took place). Apparently he bought me lunch once in the 80’s and I didn’t say thank you. Story credit: Reddit / want_to_write
