Just a wild, yet snarky guess here, but maybe he's upset that you didn't give the money to him, instead. My late father pulled something like that once ... made a big deal that I had spent my first paycheck on things that I needed for school, instead of signing my entire paycheck over to him so that he could give back to me what he thought I needed ... and also so that he could spend the rest on beer and cigarettes ...OR: he was angry because she independently solved a problem when he was enjoying seeing her “under his power.” Some fathers are malignantly sadistic. Maybe uncles too.
Nothing a power-tripping "parent" ever does surprises me any more.
@Angnix: I sincerely believe that your life would change for the better if you would only cut your uncle completely out of your life forever -- no ifs, ands, buts, or excuses.
@All: I am sorry if my posts in this thread are inappropriate for The Haven.I have to agree. Better to cut toxic relatives out of your life. Your uncle is not providing anything positive, just the opposite. Love your avatar, you are amazingly talented.
