And so he aged out, you know, like they're not getting financial support for him anymore, and he also is 18, so he can live on his own if he wanted to. And so we lived in a tiny two bedroom home. My brother and I shared it with my older cousin and her daughter. And we lived there for about a year. So I didn't like living at my aunt's house. My uncle reminded me a lot of my mom's stalker.

He was an alcoholic and he would often sit outside at this and he would just drink, and I hated it. I didn't like it at all. It brought so much back for me. And I don't remember that being the deciding factor, but eventually I do move in with my grandma. I never got to really ask my grandma, like, why did I move in with you? I remember I asked her once.

I said something like, oh, so how come I did leave? Aunt Bonnie's house. And she's like, oh, you didn't like Sid. And I was like, oh, okay. That was my uncle. And I was like, okay. And then, you know, as time went on, I kind of realized more about it, like the depths of like watching his behavior and it being so close to my mom's stalker.

Even though it wasn't like I was around my mom stalker a lot, it just, as a kid, it's a trigger, right? And I didn't like it. My brother, though, had to stay there. And I move in with my grandma. And she lived just around the corner. My younger brother and I still went to the same elementary school and everything.

And I mean, I don't know. I've been 18, too. And, you know, my younger brother wasn't exactly my priority either to be around. And so when I did get to see my older brother, it was like it was always that same feeling when I first saw him at the hospital. It was that same feeling every time because it just like it was nice to have him.

around it's just comfort and safety and happiness yeah so when i got to see him i feel like i was like i was probably that really annoying overbearing little sister because i just wanted to be with him and i remember like hugging him and kissing him and and him just being like oh my gosh like get off me but like i literally just wanted him glued to him yeah yeah Yeah.

And so any time I could spend with him, I absolutely wanted to. And my younger brother and I, we would fight like normal siblings. Like, our life went to, you know, normalcy. I had that. But I always was, always wanted to go home to Manitoba. And so I'm so grateful because, you know, my grandma always made it a priority for me to be able to go back. And I would spend every summer back in Manitoba.
