Too Personal?

A friend of my brother’s mother’s nephew’s cousin’s mother asked me for advice. I thought I might, or might not pass it on to those of you who don’t read this post.

My sister’s aunt’s daughter’s older brother has behavioral problems that are similar to those of my dead uncle’s wife’s niece’s mother’s second-youngest grandchild.

I think I may have already said too much, but . . . it isn’t a generational problem, because one of the aforementioned belongs to the generation before X and the other the third generation after boomer.

What are their issues? Well, rather than not say no when help is needed, one tends to look out for his sister’s uncle’s sister’s son, and the other for his cousin’s grandmother’s daughter’s daughter’s cousin’s cousin.

What would your mother’s sister’s niece’s sister do in this situation? If she might, or might not say this isn’t okay, or not, when taking a stance that isn’t . . . soft, isn’t there is a feeling that might plague her, one intrinsically the opposite of peace of mind?

These are difficult hypothetical units of time for the entire imaginary family I may or may not have alluded to in this post.

Thank you for letting me vent. Now it’s time for me to change the vent filter on my ac/furnace unit.
