Dear Lilea's Blog

I decided to share this letter. I've been dealing with them privately but decided to share this one because the only thing I feel like doing is to give the sender a brain resetting slap

Dear Lilea's blog,

My mum's last sister is fifty six years old and she's my best friend.

She was in a very bad marriage and nearly lost her life. After my mother and her other sisters forcefully took her away from her estranged husband she had a nervous breakdown and has lived with us since then.

While she was being treated in a psychiatric hospital for depression her young doctor took an interest in her.

She fully recovered and started to date her doctor who is obviously in love with her.

My aunty quickly got back to shape and is now living the life she never lived.  She got married at eighteen and had five children in quick succession. 

She recently went back to school to get a degree with the support of her doctor boyfriend.

She has never been this happy in her life and tells me everything about her relationship and how excited she is. 

The problem is that  I realised that instead of being happy for my aunty I always get upset when she talks about this doctor.

She's four years older than him but this poses no threat so far. 

She doesn't see her children as much as she would want to; this used to bother her but not anymore. 

A few weeks ago her boyfriend proposed to her. He has never been married and I'm angey that my aunty has accepted to marry him. Why would he make such a good looking young man a step father to five grown up children?

I can't even be happy for her; I know now what jealousy feels like. 

My aunty's fiance is good looking and I would be a better match. I'm a thirty two year old graduate and I have my own business. I had hoped I'd be married by now and so I'm a bit disappointed that my aunty may get married a second time while I'm yet to marry for the first time.

I'm ashamed to say that I have a crush on my aunty's fiance and I'm looking for a right time to tell him just so I don't regret later in life that I never tried to get the man I love. I deserve him more

Please talk to me Lilea before I make a fool of myself.

From, The Chii.

Me: the Chii, all I can tell you is that your aunty deserves to be happy. Learn to be happy for her and please do not make a fool of yourself. From the little information you provided of your aunty's fiance, he loves her and will make your stupidity known to her if you don't control yourself. Trust me, you do not love him, you are just desperate.
