Scared Bunny

Once again Sister Grim faced a dilemma. She had been forced to leave one home by a man who felt it was inappropriate for our heroine and Uncle Daddy to break his furniture as part of their fights. The man who had promised to care for her, their child and her other child didn't have a job and also didn't have his own home. While he had arranged for them all to stay at his parents' house, this was not what she had expected. But they were in love, and that was all they needed.

Shortly after moving in to the home, it became clear there were going to have to be some adjustments made. Grandpa Uncle Daddy was a very religious man. He did not approve at all of how Sister Grim lived her life. He knew she had had relations with the husband of her sister, and that was wrong. He also knew those relations had produced a child out of wedlock, and his church taught him that was wrong too. Now she was living with a man out of wedlock! Plus, she had two children by two, so he felt this was a clear sign that this woman was The Antichrist, or at very least a demon of some sort.

This was not the kind of woman he felt his son should be with.

In his opinion his son needed to return to his wife, who he had yet to divorce. It was wrong to cheat, but that was water under the bridge. To add a divorce would be too great a sin to bear. His son needed to be away from this evil woman and her children. His house need to be restored to its previous position as a palace of virtue. And it needed to happen soon.

Now, there are those who are confused by Grandpa Uncle Daddy. Some wonder, if it is wrong to sleep with your sister's husband, is it not equally as wrong to sleep with your wife's sister? And if it is wrong to get pregnant outside of marriage, is it not also wrong to get a woman pregnant if you are not married? It also seemed strange that only the woman was to blame if a couple lived together without having married. This was particularly confusing when it was the man who had begged the woman to come live with him, and had promised to care for her and the children.

But Grandpa Uncle Daddy would hear none of this nonsense. It was his job to maintain a household that was right with the lord. And if to do this he was forced to kick this Jezebel and her children, including his own grandchild, out in to the cold, then that was his duty as a God fearing No one so drenched in sin could live under his roof. And her continued presence was an abomination. So Grandpa Uncle Daddy explained to our young lady that she was a beacon of sin that was corrupting the mind of his innocent young boy. He demanded that she remove herself from his residence at once.

Uncle Daddy sat stone-faced on the couch as his father lambasted the woman he swore he loved. He said nothing as she was told to remove herself from the home. He did not speak up when it was explained that she and the children, aged 2 and 6 months, would need to fend for themselves in the cold. At no point did he budge from the couch or speak a word. Instead he sat with his parents and kept his silence.

So Sister Grim asked to use the phone to contact her family. She new she had a short time to find a place for her and her children. Surely her sisters would take her in once again. Surely she could once again go west to where the sun set. Surely the family would again be willing to pay for her and the children to fly home. Family will keep taking you in no matter how many mistakes you make, won't they?

Won't they?
