Still in abit of Shock...

What is Family? To me Family is there for you no matter what, they will defend you, and stand up for you no matter what happens. I am just appauled of what accured last night, and my heart goes out to Joe...This is what happened.

So yesterday was Liz's (Joe's sister) stag and doe...more like a bbq outside asking for money from everyone. This was taking place in Monkton, about an hour and a half from London. Joe worked all day but he left early so we could go, we also brought our boom box like they requested so they would have music at this thing. This event was at Chris's (Liz's fiance) dad's carney house, and as soon as we got there we got very weird vibes...Chris's sisters were all giving me and Kaity (Joe's sis) dirty looks for no reason...but at the time we thought nothing of it. We then had the pleasure of meeting Chris's mom...who was already very drunk at 4 pm. The first thing she says to Joe is " Oh you have been the talk of many of our dinner conversations" What the hell does that mean?? He just met this women...Which means Liz and Chris have been talking shit about Joe...not much of a surprise. But what a strange this to say to someone when you first meet them. But at the time we again thought nothing of it.

It was pouring the whole time, however we made the best of it. We went around talking to all of Joe's family, everyone apparently knew we bought a house so that was what most people were asking of about. We then ate, it was a pig roast... and we were sitting down at our picnic table minding our own business, we were achually talking to Joe's little cousin who is 9 and he was telling us about his soccer game that he played in earlier that day. All of a sudden Chris's crazy, drunken, bitch of a mom comes over to our table and starts screaming in our faces...At first we all thought it was a joke, but she didn't stop...We all looked at each other puzzled...and didn't know what was going on...This women was literally screaming in our faces, attacking us verbally. She was so wasted it was achually scary. You should have seen our faces....we didn't even know what to think. She was screaming that we said the salad was bad, and that we complained there were too many little kids, and that we hated the pork....and all this other bullshit...I couldn't believe it...Iam seriously still in shock. We were all calm with her, and made her look like a fucking idiot, stating we didn't say any of that stuff and asked her what she was on about....She said her aunt and cousins came up to her and were listening to our conversations and said that we said all that...She wouldn't stop though...this 50 year old lady screaming at us, like right in our faces...I could tell Joe was biting his lip and he was doing a good job at staying calm. Joe's cousin Jacinta then got up to get Eddy out of there because he is only 9 and she didn't think he should hear the nasty stuff coming out of her mouth...and when she got up the bitch started shit with her for getting up and leaving. She then started getting in Kaity's face saying things like " How dare you" for no reason...This was all out of no where. The whole day we were minding our business talking to family, we achually hung out with Liz most of the day. Kaity then got very upset, she said to the witch " How dare you" And she got up and left, she was basically in tears.

That was the breaking point for Joe...He stood up and handled it very well. I don't remember his exact words, however he shut her up, and said he wasn't going to sit there and listen to her verbally attack his family and himself. Liz then started screaming at Joe to shut up, and Joe's dad told Joe to shut it and grabbed him and said for him to leave. At this point it was complete silence at the bbq....Joe asked Wayne to take his hands off him and then he would leave...and Wayne didnt let him go...Joe asked him again very calmly to get his hands off of him, and he finally let him go. Liz was screaming to Joe to stop...where I then yelled back to her to leave him alone, and that he did nothing wrong. We then went around front to leave and Wayne was walking with Joe...me trailing behind. We both just wanted to get the hell out of there...and Wayne was being just awful. Telling Joe to shut up, when he was trying to tell his dad what happened and that he wasn't at wrong. You see ever since Joe was young both of his parents have sided against him for whatever reason...They are never on his side, Joe has been affected by this in some way...but he wont admit it. I honestly couldn't believe how his dad handled it...It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. He was so unfair. He told Joe he should be a man for go say sorry....WHAT!!?!

Joe, myself, Kaity and Brandon all left after this happened. It's just ridiculous to think, but as soon as we left Wayne and Vickey were probably going over to that bitch and saying how sorry they were for Joe. They were probably kissing her ass and that makes me want to vomit. I'm sorry but if you hear you son and your daughter getting yelled at by some drunken women for no reason at all you put that bitch back in her place and defend your children the best you can. Not one person....not one bloody person stood up for us. Out of all the adults there, not one had the balls to stand up and tell her to shut up. Joe's whole family were sitting right near us, and clearly heard this women verbally attack us.....and no one stood up for us. This 50 year old lady is standing there screaming in our faces.. 18 year olds, 9 year old, 22 years old....Like common!!!

At now what...Joe looks like the bad guy, why?? Because Joe's dad, Liz, all made him look like a bloody idiot...He is out right furious. He has been affected by this huge and he will not be attending the wedding or speaking to any of them until they apologize to him. I just can't seem to stop thinking about what happened...I feel so bad for Joe, and he is the kind of guy that will try and hide that it is bothering him, but I know inside he is hurting really bad.

As if his own sister sided with Chris's mom over Joe. That's like saying if Vickey started bitching out Martin I would side with her....It's just mind boggling to me. She was screaming at Joe for him to shut up and she said nothing....not one thing to Chris's mom. It's just sad...Because Joe would never, never ever leave one of his siblings out to dry....no matter what, no matter where.

About 10 mins after leaving Joe called his dad. He said that If you and mom go over there and say sorry to that crazy bitch I will not be in contact with you for a long time, and what did Wayne do...He hung up on Joe. They haven't called or anything. This morning before Joe went to work he wrote an email to his mom, dad and Liz. He wanted them to know how he feels and how disappointed he is with all of them.

Were both still in shock really, I can't believe this women. She needs to go back to the loony bin.
As if that is Liz's mother in law....woah, no matter how good a guy is I wouldn't never marry him if he had a mother like that. I thought I had it shitty....but holy shit, god help Liz.

I can't say our lifes are boring....however this is just sad. Joe doesn't deserve any of this, and that is what makes me the most upset. However Iam a great believer of things happen for a reason, so we will see what happens next...I'll keep you posted. Poor little Joey baby :(
