I need to vent....

Man, my uncle used to disappear every Winter. He battled seasonal depression, and when Winter time rolled around, he would have these bouts where he would hole up in a hotel room, without telling anyone, and just drink like a mofo. My aunt would call up my old man, after my uncle would be gone for a few days, and my pops would try and track him down.

He battled it for years, and kicked it for a while, but ultimately, after smoking like a mofo for years, he got prostate cancer, ignored it, and then ultimately had one of his binges in a hotel. My cousin rolled up trying to help him out, but my uncle wouldn't open the door, claiming he was in there w a woman. Another day went by, and my other cousin, his oldest daughter, got access to the room, and when she rolled in, he was laid out on the floor dead.

I know where Beardo is coming from, and it sucks, but sometimes you gotta let go...let it sort itself out (to an extent). Either they bottom out and snap out, or meet the maker. Its taxing as fuck on all those around.
