Last night at a pub I met with my youngest brother (29 years old) John and his wife Cheryl (33 years old). Neither one of them knows about my Trans nature. Emotionally John and I are quite the same. He is a very sensitive person and takes personal issues to the core. I'm not sure what the outcome will be when I eventually break the Transnews to him. He looks up to me so much and even though he is a manly-man he loves and he always shows affection to me (and only me) in public.
So we discussed our mom situation. My brother's wife doesn't want to deal with it. Understandable...but too bad. She at first implied it was more my problem than John's since mom lives with me. I disassembled that argument in record time. I blindsided them with the fact that I will eventually be moving far away. So it WILL be their problem later on. I informed them they could either work with me now or try to deal with The Mom alone later. Oddly enough they are seeing things differently now. We discussed how to handle our Mother for about an hour. Some good ideas were exchanged and plans were made, it was very productive. Until.......
Eventually the topics of conversations strayed into dangerous territory. John's Dad. The wife had something on her mind and so she attempted to subtly manipulate me into talking about "alleged" abuse by my step dad. This is the exact question she asked me.
"Is it true that your Dad paddled your butt when you were bad?"
she continued...
"Because my Dad did it to me a few times when I was being a little brat."
John wanted to stop her, but he was to busy choking on his beer.
I looked up from my glass without lifting my head. I glared at her with a look that could kill. The temperature around our table dropped to the freezing level. She *gulped* and attempted a brave face.
I didn't move a muscle, except my mouth.
I said
"Paddled? Are you implying that the abuse I suffered at the hands of your father in law is exaggerated?"
I was to the point so quickly, she didn't know how to reply. So she replied in kind, she was direct in her response to counter me.
"Where you ever hospitalized? Did anyone ever see bruises or marks? I find it hard to believe that my father-in-law could be capable of doing what you claim."
At this point John cuts her off with a loud
"shut your mouth! What are you talking about!and is so mad he turns red. He looks at me and I can tell by his voice he is in shock.
He pleads with me:
"I never ever said anything like this, I know how dad was with you and Jason. I have no idea where this is coming from!"
My eyes never waver from her when he is talking and she is getting nervous. Her husband isn't running to her aid, this isn't working like she had hoped.
While staring at her I replied to John
"I believe you little brother, I think she has been listening to your daddy tell too many revised history stories. Isn't that right Cheryl?"
Her poker face fell apart. I said
" Yeah, I figured as much. You listen to me woman, that kindly old man you worship, was a sadistic monster. But now he is too tired and old to be that monster. If you know what's good for you, you will never broach this subject again."
She gave a fearful nod and attempted an apology, but I stopped her from speaking with a hateful glare. At that point the evening turned too complicated for my brother John. I hugged him goodbye and left the restaurant. I could tell he wanted to follow me and make everything better.
I figure in the end it's better this way. After he discovers my Transness there will be massive amounts of pressure for him to give me up. I will just make it easier for him, I won't come around him or his bitch wife anymore.
I hate family.
