Abusive cousin Zathyn screamed “Schizoid Girl Andrea” at me for 60 minutes this week. I have never had a schizophrenia diagnosis I had PTSD therapy years ago. (After I was raped in the military.) This is why I have been sensitive about my past lately it is because my cousin has been insulting me while yelling imagined problems all week. In addition he has been using my vehicle so much I can’t use it for work. My mother insists I share computers, food, and transportation with this family relative. The situation is getting worse daily. It is a vicious cycle because it is hard to save up money for a replacement car to drive on the open road if he is demanding car time the same hours I work. He describes me loudly on the phone as unemployed, only donating plasma, but I work as a teacher. He says he is better than me, but is using my family car to work. If he is doing so great he should get his own nice car, computer, and house by himself maybe? My Facebook got hacked right when he used my computer to watch “work videos” suspiciously. I see him as we share a vehicle. I live in an area with no bus service. Uber and Lyft are flaky and expensive. The roads have no bike lanes. It is hard to even try to bike to work in freezing ice during winter. Transportation problems become work issues really fast.
