house of mirrors prayer

 (This will make more sense once I finish up with my other post, but for now, I have to get this out.) My uncle is one more thing away from me cussing him the fuck out. Because I am working on self, I am leaning on my religion in this moment. My prayer right now is that our house becomes a house of mirrors for him. The entire time he's been staying with us, all of three fucking months, he has: ignored all advice but continuously ask for help taken full advantage of my family lied to cover up lies to cover up lies sneaking around in our stuff pretended to know all of everything about the world been manipulative been disrespectful completely disregarded our rules to how we cohabitate I'm honestly sick of his shit and I don't know how I've managed to hold my tongue for so long.

I am not telling anyone what they should and shouldn't put into their bodies because I'm not a doctor (duh) but also, NAC's intended use is not for hair pulling...
