My boomer uncle is a lifelong raging alcoholic.
Lived with my grandma, his mom, unemployed, for 15 ish years, as a 40ish to 50ish year old.
...Untill he threatened the neighbor with a gun, fled to the other side of the state, still living on a stipend from his mom.
Last time I talked to him was when he called me out of nowhere, saying he needed my social security number so that he could... put me in his will.
Mhm. Yep. Not like he's got charges for identity theft and fraud or anything.
Tell my family this and they gasp, no, he wouldn't do that!
sigh
It's ok. Just tell ME your SSN and I'll sort this all out.
(god I mess the days where I could say this, without ending it with /joke)
