Subject: Did I do him wrong?
Hi Folks, today I'm in need of advice concerning someone whom I dearly love.Six yrs. ago I rec"d a frantic call from Ed, my closest male cousin. He said he had no where else to turn and needed a loan of $3,00 to forstall eviction and pay other bills.He had 35cents and a can of soup in his ap't. (He also had knowledge that my husband had been killed in an auto accident & I had gotten unsur. money.) He had been laid off from work 3 mo's. before. He told me how he would kill himself. I got the $ to him immediately In the interim, I took him to dinners, plays,etc.He got a job 2 months later.He said he would pay $100. a month, when that didn't work I said,"pay $50." Bottom line is he has paid $900 in 6 yrs In the last 2 yrs.I've gotten $150. I've never verbally harrassed, just dropped a line saying Cuz I think you've forgotten me or sent addressed stamped envelopes. He's gone on vacations and has aquired 400 vcr library in the last 2 yrs. I wrote a letter stating my intention to sue him, and that the papers will be forthcoming. The one relative who knows says I shouldn't sue, I will break up the family It is obvious he cares not one iota for me.Now I hear he's done this to others. Sorry This is so long. Did I do him wrong? Please advise. Slainte Mickey191
