An Uncomfortable Situation

 And perhaps even a little scary!

 

Today I stopped at Walmart on the way home from work and who should I meet there but an ex bil. Well, I did see him coming and tried to avoid him, but he saw me and stopped me and asked me point blank if I was trying to avoid him. He made it sound like a joke though, I told him I hadn't seen him (yep, I lied!)

 

Anyway, the break-up between him and my sister was bad and though it was years ago now, he is still very bitter. We weren't two minutes into the conversation and he was calling her every name in the book and spewing filth. Anyway I told him, that I wasn't going there and that what happened was between the two of them and no one else. He's very scary in the way he blames her for everything....and I mean everything bad that is happening to him right now. He's been off work for a year, he's mortgaged to the hilt on a house they built and should have been paid for ages ago, he got beat up quite bad by someone with an ax (yes, an ax!!) and all of this, all of it...is my sisters fault because she left him. When I say he was spewing...I mean he really, really was. It was almost a volcanic force that he shot these words out.

 

What really scared me the most, was when he said that if he ends up losing that house that he built with his own hands, that heads were gonna roll. And you know what, I believe he meant it!

 

Just wondering though, if any of you have come across an uncomfortable situation like that. I tried to excuse myself but he just kept on spewing. I didn't feel threatened myself at all, but that it was just very uncomfortable listening to him talk about my family like that.
