Family issues. .

So I recieved a couple of calls last night regarding extended family issues. .
The first was from my mom concerning a cousin who I barely know that passed away this week. I am not sure how to feel about it cause I didn't know the guy since he lived in Hawaii most of his life and was majorly into drugs and alcohol and then also cause he is part of the family my mom discouraged correspondence with. My mom and her sisters and brothers (13 siblings) have a lotta bad ill will between them over several very silly things!! So I had that on my mind most of the day. .
Then my Mother-n-Law calls to let me know that one of DH's younger siblings wouldn't be joining her until later in the summer because of the kids dad won't allow him to come for some bizarre reason and she is worried that since there is major bad blood between this guy and DH, that DH when he finds out that he might not get to spend any time with his younger brother he is going to hit the roof!! I seriously don't need that added to the stress level. . I wish all of the guys that pretended to be father figures in DH's life would just go away. . they cause so many issues. . but that I guess can't be helped!? My MIL just didn't have good choices in husbands. . or bf's for that matter!!
After that call came in I got a call from my niece telling me that the girls she hangs around are trying to encourage her once again to have sex and she is feeling the pressure. . although I guess anyone would with what all is going on around her. I mean between moving back to Texas after her parents split up and all the fighting that is going on. . then moving out of my sisters house to live with my parents, I imagine the poor girl is needing a break! I am so so glad she is going to be coming to see me for a month this summer. . .
The last call I recieved was from my favorite cousin who is about 5 or 6 years younger than myself who has been ignoring my calls to her for the last couple of months because she has been scared to talk to me for fear I would yell at her. She found out 3 months ago that she is pregnant and she was worried that if I talked to her that I would be disappointed and angry. . .that made me feel so bad . . what did I do to ever instill that type of fear in her that she couldn't talk to me about what was going on . . x-specially something this big?! But at least now she knows that she has my support and knows that she can talk to me about anything now?! And I mean I am kinda shocked cause she wasn't ever the type that I saw getting pregnant so young. . but I asked if she was happy and if the guy that was the father was going to be around . . the answer to both was yes so I told her she had my full support. .
Crazy days. . . I will be so glad when Jon is home. . he adds to the stress sometimes (okay most of the time) but he makes it so much easier to handle by just being around!!
