My Evil Aunt - A TV series coming soon
A work of fiction (or is it?). Filmed in the North and South of England, this series centers on one womans narcissistic behaviour within an already troubled family.
Decades of sibling rivalry, bickering, lies, alleged kiddie-fiddling, psychotic breakdowns, and that is just one evil aunt.
Add to the mix; a murderer, a bank robbery, secret marital affairs, Russian Mafia ties, and we have a family!
Prologue
MEA (My Evil Aunt) is a narcissist; Born the youngest of five and given opportunities her siblings did not have. University educated, she began a very short career in the south of England. After marrying well, sat on her arse for the rest of her working age, rarely returning to her roots.
My sister Julia, lived close to MEA and socialised regularly. My mother (Wanda) was the only sibling MEA bothered with, and the two would often meet or talk on the phone.
MEA has an alchohol problem and one night she asked Wanda to visit but not fancying a drinking session Wanda declined and that was when it started, when MEA decided to fuck up a family.
Mea's Siblings
Wanda
Wanda and Mea remained close from childhood. The two would have the odd ‘word’ but had never really fallen out. Wanda was also close with her other siblings; George, Carol and Jane.
Carol
Carol and MEA never seemed to get on much. Mea called her ‘the hypochondriac’ of the family. Mea’s husband bought her parents house at the government discounted rate, which was very close to Carol’s house. When the parents died, the house was sold at a profit and Carol thought her parents would have wanted it to go to her grandson who still lived at home.
Once out of spite, Mea took her other sisters and their daughters on an exotic holiday, leaving Carol behind.
Jane
Mea and Jane never got on, not for decades, and most of that time never even talked too each other. Mea had a nickname for Jane, she would call her “Sister Jane” (not a sibling reference). Mea found Jane’s regular attendance at church amusing. She would say “she is a hypocrite, a member of the ‘God Squad’, she think she is above others when her own house is not without sin”.
Jane did not have much time for Carol and disliked George but was friendly most of her life with Wanda.
George
A decent man and brother, always protected his sisters. George was very protective of MEA when she was young but she never really bothered with him in later life. George spoke on the phone or met Carol and Wanda often.
'Pissy Knickers'
OMG
MEA had a drink problem, she never knew when to stop. When I lived abroad in the 90’s, my mother, sister and MEA visited me, staying at my apartment. On the corner was my local bar and late night club. I was well known in the bar and club. MEA soon got into the wine and by the time we went to the club was very drunk but when we suggested we retire early, MEA got angry, she continued to drink until she just pissed herself, sat at the bar on a stool. People stared, MEA laughed, it was so embaressing.
Not a Time to Party
5 years ago, MEA’s husband became very ill. During this time, Evil Aunt would call my sister (Janice) and our mother (Wanda) constantly, sometimes drunk, angry at the world, rambling, nonsensical. Wanda travelled to Janice’s house to be closer to MEA and provide support. One night, MEA called the house and asked Wanda to come over. Knowing that drink would be involved, Wanda said she would come over and get picked up later to return to her daughters. Wanda did not think it right to be drinking while MEA’s husband was dying in bed.
There was a problem; Wanda had not ended the call on her mobile and whilst relating the call to her daughter, Wanda said “MEA was not happy about me being picked up and not staying over, but I do not want to drink all night”
This was when the shit hit the fan! MEA called the landline, screaming, swearing. Janice tried to explain her mother was not being nasty but was uncomfortable drinking at the house. MEA would not listen to reason and screamed “you fucking bitch!”. Time passed, many phone calls and texts were exchanged. Wanda and Janice became a focal point for MEA’s rage. During one call. MEA threatened to go to her niece’s school and create a scene. Then MEA threatened to call social services and say that Janice’s children were at risk.
Mea’s calls, texts and emails were blocked. Then, one day, at a 5-star hotel spa, MEA acosted Janice pushing her, shouting and screaming. The hotel security were called and the hotel manager told MEA to leave the premises and to never return. It was at this point that I got involved. I had seen first hand what she was prepared to do. A few years earlier she was estranged from her husband and would constanly telephone hos secretary and even turn up at the offices and scream in the foyer.
I emailed MEA, I warned her to leave my my mother, sister and her family alone. it did not go well. This was to be the start of five years (so far) of evil plots, lies and deceit.
