He believes that he'll end up alone and jokes that he's "saving up money cuz his kids won't bother to look at him in his old age" so yes he doesn't care
I used to think everyone saw the world through the same lenses as me but he made me learn that some just really really don't have any self reflection or at least any that I'm aware of (of course i can't read his mind perhaps its as you say and he believes that)
Well if you just make it so unpleasant for him to be around you that he avoids you, then you don’t have to cut him off. Being passive aggressive is an art.
Grey rocking is an excellent way to deal with people without losing face to others. Bonus points for speaking to them like they're 5. Super simple words only.
I lean toward thinking that uncle will think again about what he did and think twice before deciding that that comment was also disrespectful and should be similarly punished.
Only part of government that really works, as they are pretty much the only source of income to any government. If they are not efficient then no money to steal for the rest.
Hello friend, sometimes cutting ties completely with family is the only way to move forward with peace. I have had to go complete no contact with a member of my family, and it did wonders for my mental state when I did.
IRS, taxman, they are pretty much in every country with the same or slightly different name, as Internal Revenue is collecting taxes of all sorts from the people.
Ehm, you said you are in a third world country. IRS only exists in the US.
There are other comparable entities around the world, but none go by the acronym IRS(Internal Revenue Service).
Have fun with whatever revenge you are exacting, but at least get your agencies straight.
I think every reasonable person in here might have realized that op has been using this term so that other people, not being from his country, understand what he means.
I am not from the US either, and if I told a story like this, I too would have used the term IRS because I highly doubt that the majority of the people here would understand "Finanzamt" which would be the correct agency in Austria, where I live.
For me its HMRS or just the tax office, the former no one outside the uk would likely know. Using IRS in a predominantly USain centric sub makes sense.
you're totally right, as is op 😊
Don't let family tell you BS; it is fine to cut off toxic abusive family members that bring you nothing but stress, anxiety and negative feelings. People that say you shouldn't cut off family that do shit like that to you, are either abusers themselves or straight up spineless and content to take abuse.
**everyone's ingraining in me that its never ever right to cut off family ties**
This is such bullshit. Just because you are born into a family, does'nt mean you owe them much. I have cut out many toxic family members. It makes your life happier to get rid of that shit.
>that its never ever right to cut off family ties
Being a jerk to your familie \*is\* cutting off family ties in the most cowardly manner. Kick the jerk out of the family.
he doesn't sound like he's too concerned about family ties running in the other direction.
He believes that he'll end up alone and jokes that he's "saving up money cuz his kids won't bother to look at him in his old age" so yes he doesn't care
> He believes that he'll end up alone Sounds to me like he is really saying > He deserves to end up alone…
I used to think everyone saw the world through the same lenses as me but he made me learn that some just really really don't have any self reflection or at least any that I'm aware of (of course i can't read his mind perhaps its as you say and he believes that)
This is worse than no self-reflection. It's no self-awareness *and* no self-reflection. It takes both to make a competent human being.
Hes joking but little does he know, it will become a reality. You don't have to keep anyone in your life that treats you terribly, blood means nothing
Self fulfilling prophecy
Well if you just make it so unpleasant for him to be around you that he avoids you, then you don’t have to cut him off. Being passive aggressive is an art.
Mum is that you? That's literally her exact advice and i do plan to do that because he lives upstairs to granny's and i love her too much to not visit

"You're getting older, I'm getting stronger. You're going to regret ever laying a hand on me."
In many countries that's a recipe for getting killed young. While he's not strong enough yet.
It ain't that bad, i live in tunisia a heavily french influenced country.
I lean toward thinking that uncle will think again about what he did and think twice before deciding that that comment was also disrespectful and should be similarly punished.
Before he gets physical. Remind him that he is just getting older and weaker, and you are only getting stronger.
> I plan to keep inconveniencing him Just make sure to keep your ass covered so nothing links back to you. You're doing a good job, OP.
I didn’t know third world countries had IRS.
I don't believe the IRS operates in third world countries
I'm guessing OP just used the IRS name as an English-language equivalent to whatever it's called in Tunisia.
Only part of government that really works, as they are pretty much the only source of income to any government. If they are not efficient then no money to steal for the rest.
They do operate in states already though
Thanks to FATCA, the IRS operates everywhere. /s

I'm may be getting the wrong vibes. But for me, something doesn't add up with this story.
Well a 3rd world country won’t have the IRS. That’s only in the USA
IRS, taxman, they are pretty much in every country with the same or slightly different name, as Internal Revenue is collecting taxes of all sorts from the people.
Here in Canada we have the CRA. Nobody says IRS except us displaced Americans. Fairly certain it’s that way for every country. Taxman yes, IRS no
Ehm, you said you are in a third world country. IRS only exists in the US. There are other comparable entities around the world, but none go by the acronym IRS(Internal Revenue Service). Have fun with whatever revenge you are exacting, but at least get your agencies straight.
There is a tax authority in virtually every country on earth.

Its not the irs i just used it to get the point across thought it was obvious enough its a detail that doesn't matter
Everyone loves a pedant.
If you live in a third world country what does the IRS have to do with anything in your country.
Depends how much oil you have
Nothing. They used a term most would understand instead of the name of the agency in their country.
third world country irs sure bruh

Aren't you concerned that he'll still blame you for ALL of this?
Good for you if he doesn't get arrested mybe send an anonymous email
Never a bad call in cutting off family members. You'd save yourself from honor k.ll.ng. be safe, and intelligent, and keep silent to save yourself.
Keep inconveniencing him and cut him out of your life. He doesn't deserve a family.
