My maternal aunt is a nutcase. She has kicked her youngest (21yo) son out of the house- again- this time, for being gay.
Not that it matters, but AFAIK, he isn't.
He gets kicked out several times a year, usually for stupid stuff he did (or had absolutely nothing to do with- he just said something at the wrong time), and often winds up staying with us. Right now, he's at the apartment of one of his HS friends.
It's a combination of alcohol + a ferocious, binary temper. Her mom's demeanor was like that, too. My mom has a similar temperament as well, but to a much lesser extent, so I suspect there is something hereditary going on.
I'd tell her she needs help, but she'd probably take a swing at me. There is talk that several of us in the family may still try to talk to her about this. As a group- safety in numbers, y'know?
...I needed to vent.
