Hello, for some context, my grandpa is in bad health, and is currently at the care of a few aunts. A few weeks ago they had almost let him die, and out of frustration I did a tiktok talking about the situation without sharing names. A few days later, my sister calls me and tells me to please delete it and does wild accusations against our mom. I deleted the video then. However, then turns out my aunts tried to sue me and my mom for the tiktok video.
This is a letter I wrote to my sister, that was the last chance I gave her before going no contact. Turns out she still insists on believing my aunts lies and we went no contact, and I requested to be completely cut from the family tree.
Iām glad Iāve gone no contact because I donāt care about a āfamilyā that never cared about me in the first place, Iāve always been an outsider. I redacted the personal information and had cut some other parts, but yeah, this is the letter, where it also explains what happened. Warning for too much text.
BTW I can write well in english, but I used a translator for the letter because is too long and I didnāt feel like manually translating, sorry if something got translated literaly or sounds weird.
Hello [SISTER]. This is going to be important.
Yes, this is about MOTHER, [BAD WITCH], [GOOD FOR NOTHING] and me, to tell the truth of what happened with the complaint they put on me and the whole situation. I really wanted to do this in a call, but I donāt feel like I have the energy for it, there is a lot to tell, and I donāt want anything to slip out or be misinterpreted, I also donāt want to risk it being interrupted because the power goes out, the signal or something, so text alert a lot.
First of all, I want to say that I have a huge disappointment with you. When you told me about MOTHER being schizophrenic over the phone, I didnāt say anything, because I knew something didnāt add up, so I looked up the symptoms, I researched, I even asked my psychologist. You know very well that MOTHER does NOT have schizophrenia, it is very difficult for an untreated schizophrenic to hide the most important symptoms, like hallucinations. If she were schizophrenic, I would have known it for years, especially in the conditions as you described, where you say she has psychotic episodes where she threatens to kill children with knives and such.
However, all doubts were cleared up for me when I learned that the source was [EVIL WITCH], you know, who casually tells of hearing voices, who interacts with the voices, even when there are people visiting where she lives, and that aside, coincidentally, the only children my mother has supposedly threatened with knives are hers, but coincidentally none of them have ever mentioned it and there are never any witnesses to corroborate her version of events. Having conspiratorial allusions and paranoia where other people constantly want to hurt you is precisely one of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
I mean, as such I expected [BAD WITCH] to go around telling crazy stories because I remember that once [BAD WITCH] many years ago told me that MADRE wanted to kill [Cousin] because she was in love with [Mister F] (the ex-husband of [BAD WITCH]) even though [Cousin] is not [Mister F]'s son.
But I expected more from you than to believe all the lies of a crazy woman like [BAD WITCH], and on top of that, to go around serving as a megaphone for her even though you know very well that it is a lie, I expected you to be smarter than this, I expected more from a qualified nurse in her 40s. On top of that you know I have an unmedicated schizophrenic uncle on my fatherās side, so I know what someone with that condition looks like. Itās amazing that you thought I was going to believe the lie immediately, like you think Iām an idiot.
Iām disappointed because [BAD WITCH] lies more than she talks, and now Iām going to tell you all the lies she told at the meeting with the prefect where she, [GOOD FOR NOTHING], MOTHER and I were.
The meeting started with them doubting the authority and actively insulting the prefect, because she had not wanted to pass the complaint to the prosecutorās office. They tried to report it again at the [Capital] prefecture, but they were only sent back to [Sector].
The prefect started reading the complaint, it turns out that there is a part where [BAD WITCH] and [GOOD FOR NOTHING] insinuated that I should receive psychological help and that I would have some kind of disability, they did not say it directly but they insinuated it, I said āI do not have any disability and I am 26 years oldā to which they said āWe did not say thatā to which the prefect replied āThis is what they wroteā pointing to the part where they insinuated it. This would be the first of many times where they would say one thing and then try to retract or directly contradict themselves.
Then they were given the right to speak so they could say what they wanted to do, which was essentially to present themselves as the victims, [EVIL WITCH] specifically making up years of alleged harassment by MOTHER. Since the point was the alleged defamation because of my tiktok video, they would then ask questions along the lines of āWhere do you get that I am a santera?ā and āWhere do you get that I gave my mom (my grandmother) something to kill her?ā.
I listened to them patiently to which [BAD WITCH] and [GOOD FOR NOTHING] started to say āWhy donāt you say anything? Could it be because you have something to hide?ā to which the prefect replied āYou are waiting for your right to speakā I mean, they thought I was going to be afraid of a couple of crazy women.
When it was finally my time to speak, I told everything I had to tell, the story of how the famous video was born, specifying that it was only one video on my Tiktok account where I never talk about family issues. That I considered everything I said to be true, and that with my grandfatherās neglectful situation, I had recited what MOTHER had told me and then MOTHER told her version of events. Then to answer the questions of these 2 crazy women, I told the prefect that I know perfectly well that [BAD WITCH] is a santera, not only because she has a long history of doing rituals and forcing people in the family to participate in them, as she did in her previous apartment, but also that during my grandmotherās funeral, the body was still warm when precisely, [BAD WITCH], suggested doing a ritual, putting grandma on the floor, lowering her from her clinical bed, surrounding her with candles, and praying something weird. I objected to that ritual, but they did it anyway. When the father arrived for the wake that was done right there in grandmaās room, it turned out that the father was an exorcist, and without us talking to him, he said āthere are witches hereā while looking at [BAD WITCH] and [GOOD FOR NOTHING].
I also could not fail to tell him the undeniable fact that there is a mound of earth where they buried the animals they sacrificed in the santero rituals they performed in the house, they dug so deep that part of the construction they have at street level began to sink. Coincidentally they were silent while I was telling this story.
Of course I suspect they had something to do with my grandmotherās stroke, at the very least they made her angry. They had the audacity to tell the prefect that MOTHER never took care of grandma, even, that when she died she hadnāt seen grandma for a year and only arrived when she had already died, when you know very well, that my mother was taking care of my grandmother, as often as she was there 4 days a week, that she fixed the house, painted, planted, cut trees, put the house in order, and that not only my mother and I went to be with my grandmother as soon as they had the decency to notify her that she was having a stroke, but on top of that, my grandmother died in my motherās arms. I was the one who told this to the prefect to disprove them. Also [GOOD FOR NOTHING] wanted to ask me questions, about āWhere do you get that I never did anything at momās house?ā And I told the prefect, that for as long as I can remember, grandma, even though she was disabled, washed, cooked, tidied, tidied, cooked, etc. Even when she complained about everything hurting her, she did everything, while [GOOD FOR NOTHING] was always doing nothing, sitting, watching TV, sleeping, etc. Grandma herself complained that [GOOD FOR NOTHING] was doing nothing. Nobody told me about it, I saw it.
While I was talking, [GOOD FOR NOTHING] said if she could lower āmy tone of voiceā because āshe had a headacheā and I told her thatās not my problem, Iām talking. Then the 2 locals tried to LEAVE the prefectās office, the prefect stopped them and said āWHERE ARE YOU GOING?ā she stopped them and said āSit down, we are here because you filed this complaint, because you wanted thisā and they had to sit down like scolded girls.
I submitted a visiting regime to the prefect, specifying the days of the month where we would go to visit my grandfather. What we asked was that [GOOD FOR NOTHING] and [BAD WITCH] not be there while we were visiting, and that we have accompaniment either by police or prefect staff to go and see him, because otherwise the 2 crazy women could make up anything, say that my mother threw my grandfather down the stairs or something like that, and then the family will believe the 2 crazy women without questioning them and proceed to lynch her internationally, citing again when they said that the grandfatherās fracture did not originate in my motherās house, but while he was in their care.
The prefect wanted to negotiate because she felt it was going too far, until [GOOD FOR NOTHING] started saying that MOTHER had stolen things from the house. According to [GOOD FOR NOTHING], my mother had stolen grandmaās clothes, a blender, a microwave, etc. Then MOTHER explained that after grandma died ,YOU [SISTER]! sent for the things to give to her. Then [GOOD FOR NOTHING] said that YOU! [SISTER]! could support her to confirm that MOTHER did steal things from the house.
After we told how the story really went, the prefect was fed up with the story and said āIf she wants to āstealā things from the house, then let her do it, she is her mom tooā there [GOOD FOR NOTHING] started to say that MOTHER also stole personal things from HER, that MOTHER many times tried to enter [GOOD FOR NOTHING]'s room and went through her things. MOTHER asked her what need she had to go through his things and what things she claimed she stole, [GOOD FOR NOTHING] could not mention anything specific and was trying to explain herself, because the lie was not getting through.
Later, it occurred to [GOOD FOR NOTHING] to say that āWhen I say, she stole, I mean that she [MOTHER] is a hoarderā There you can tell that the prefect was running out of patience, because she replied āNo, you specifically used the word STEAL, I am a lawyer, and if you tell me that she stole, I will assume that she stole, and on top of that you explained what MOTHER supposedly stoleā She almost āthrows the book at themā as the gringos say.
Then the conciliation was reached and we agreed that MOTHER and I would notify the prefecture before visiting the grandfather so that there would be an accompaniment, but that those 2 crazy women could not deny us a visit. Also among the agreements was that no one would speak ill of relatives in public places until the 3rd degree of familiarity. The prefect wanted to take the route of āyou are familyā to which I said āHave you heard the phrase āBlood is thicker than waterā? The phrase is incomplete, itās actually The blood of the horde is thicker than the water of the womb, and thatās the philosophy I go by because my family has never treated me like family.ā
The āfamilyā I have is one that thinks that and I donāt breathe if my mother doesnāt tell me to, the fact that Iām the one who made the video but they also dragged my mother into the complaint is proof of that. They think I have severe cognitive abilities, they still talk to me like a child and they will never stop. Here I include you, the fact that they thought I would be such an idiot to believe at the first time that my mother is schizophrenic is proof of that, but you also talk to me as if I were 10 years old, as if I didnāt have a job in an important company, as if I didnāt pay taxes, as if I wasnāt in the process of registering my company, as if I didnāt have a lot of people who hold me in good esteem.
[BAD WITCH] Is lying so much, that Iām sure, in complete lack of doubt or hesitation, to absolute certainty, that sheās faking her Parkinsonās or whatever the shaking is, because she could go a long time without shaking, and she would start shaking her hands when the prefect would address her exactly. Sheās not even faking it right, itās not even a cold shiver because it was really hot that day and we were getting cooked, a super re contra fake shiver. Sheās faking it so much, that she, when we had all signed the final agreement and she went to sign it, SHE SIGNED WITH HER RIGHT HAND! You know she is LEFT HANDED! I called her out when I saw her, and I said āHey, arenāt you left-handed? Why do you write with your right hand?ā and do you know what they answered me? āWhat do you care?ā thatās what they answered me, and on top of that they answered me angrily.
As my mother and I have nothing to hide, I offered to send a psychological report to my mother, to refute the defamation that [BAD WITCH] makes about her being schizophrenic, and I still maintain it, I send that report, to demonstrate to those who believe [BAD WITCH], you the first one, that it is completely false.
This is not all that happened, but this is already getting longer and this was the most remarkable and important thing that happened in the prefecture.
Now to get back on topic with you, as I said, I expected you to be smarter than blindly believing [BAD WITCH], but my anger with you is something that is building up, not only because you still treat me as if I were a child as I said, but because you have effectively been turning into the Venezuelan equivalent of a āwhitexicanā and specifically because you have this attitude of pretending you are better than us to the point of not believing when we say we are doing well. Yes, Venezuela in general is fucked up, but it has been getting better and we particularly are doing well. Itās as if you take it as a personal offense when the answer to How are you? is something other than utter and complete misery. Youād rather believe some bodegas with instagram who are clearly ripping you off than us, even the dentist you paid my mom has ripped you off, because they put in teeth for my mom that didnāt cost the hundreds and hundreds of dollars you paid them for at all, and they ended up falling out recently. But no, they are the businesses that the other venecos-miameros recommend and therefore they canāt go wrong with anything.
I canāt trust you if you have such poor judgment, and of refusing to see other peopleās realities if they are further than your nose, but you do believe [BAD WITCH] so much at the first time. If you care so much about [BAD WITCH], then letās see if she adopts you. Maybe at this point you think I have my mother supervising what Iām writing, instead of writing it with my own hands, under my own free will, in my boyfriendās house, without MOTHER knowing anything at all. Overall, itās completely up to you if we have a relationship in the future, but I donāt shake my pulse when it comes to cutting off relationships no matter who it is, and I donāt lose anything, because this āfamilyā has never been family with me, I canāt pretend to care about people who have never cared about me at all, and after my grandfather is dead and buried, they cut me completely from the family tree, never even think about me again, and pretend I donāt exist, moreover, they may say Iām dead.
That is all. Now it is up to you, and if you wish, that this be a final goodbye and that we never speak again. I wish you a good life with success and that your current and potentially future children, and possible future grandchildren have a wonderful life. Good night to you.
Toxic people donāt deserve your time!
