Was he the Night Man? That would explain this quite effectively.

What happened to him?

I thought my uncle was cool as hell but it turns out his views support hurting people like me
I don’t really talk to him much anymore 🙁

One of the hardest parts of growing up is getting to know your family as adults

“My uncle was a funny goofy fun guy”
“Oh, he was hammered 24/7”

It is a strange feeling when you finally grow up and realize your hero was actually just the family member who never truly figured out how to be an adult.

I am that uncle now to my brothers kids

You guys had uncles you looked up to? Dang…. I am actually jealous.

I’m probably this uncle tbh with you.

My unc is still my idol. Yes life has nerfed him a bit. But he still is the unc I love. Makes me laugh with his unc jokes and has that “I gotchu mf” energy. That’s a lot of uncs wow.

That you, Charlie?

Never had an uncle as an idol, mainly because I didn’t meet one of them until I was 17 (dad’s side) and the other one has been in and out of prison my whole life (moms side)
pastelorbitx on
Growing up is just a slow realization that your cool uncle was actually the family member with the least amount of life figured out.
Ok_Nectarine2178 on
Always thought my uncle was cool as kid but now I see him for what he’s always been. A pathetic drunk who still thinks he’s a teenager
some_randomK1d on
My unc used to bully me and click naked pictures of me as a kid (i was around 3-5yo) and threatened me that he’d post it on facebook
Edit: grammar
WildPatience9849 on
Yeah, he’s single and always telling me to “stay away from women” he got through alot of heartbreaks and people that betrayed him so that’s sad actually 💔
i_like_atla on
nah, he taught me how to hunt and fought in Fallujah, he’s still pretty cool

T W// attempted unaliving another person; pew pews This post is insane cause my uncle was always fit and a badass. Like he would skin snakes and make boots and shit.
Well, when I was like 18, he went to a neighbor friends house and actually tried killing this dude, and the whole time he monologued the whole thing to the guy. Said he was gunna go inside and kill his wife and steal all their stuff to sell for drugs. He was beating him with a tire iron. The man was able to escape thankfully and get his handgun and shoot my uncle three times.
In the leg, stomach, and head. It grazed over his skull and the bullet is stuck in his head and made him mentally handicapped. If they take it out he could die. Idk how tf he isn’t in prison.

I have a version of this but its sad…
My great uncle was my only real male influence in life. He was a stoner and just always a load of fun to be with. We lived a few hours away from each other and he lived in the boonies. Hed let me invite friends out to stay for like a week at a time and wed all explore rhe woods and shit. Hed play old school Nintendo consoles with us.
Truly a great guy..
He died of stage 4 throat cancer… seeing him wrapped in wires and unable to be himself wrecked me. The man who I saw as a superman growing up…turned a hollow husk because of that fucking disease… RIP BILL

Hope I’ll stay a cool uncle for my nephews

As an uncle I am starting to worry about turning into a raging racist. At what age do the transition usually occurs? I still feel like a reasonable person but I am afraid that’s about to change at any time.
Insane_Fnord on
My uncle robbed my grandma (his own mother) and fucked off. She lived in a tiny 1-room apartment at that time, he left nothing. When she died years later and we tried to contact him, he didn’t care.
I never really looked up to him, but I do have some fond memories together. Playing chess, playing Parodius on the SNES.
Wrong crowd, wrong drugs. It’s a shame.
StoneTown on
Oh, my family is full of a bunch of criminals and drug addicts. I knew pretty quickly they weren’t very smart people when they disappeared for months at a time because “yup, he’s in jail again” lol

Well, my uncle is dying of cancer, so this is kind of accurate.

I keep telling my nephews I’ve always been this way
m1r4nd4k on
Mine died of like all the kinds of hepatitis and liver cancer (lots of drugs and alcohol) and only after his funeral and finding out some ugly truths did I finally understand why his own children hated him.
i_am_maidenless on
My family is just full of emotionally immature adults. Who would rather let their kids go through trauma and pain through their whole life rather just talk like mature people.
RingReasonable on
He is still my idol, even if he isn’t at his peak anymore
Safe-Blueberry-1171 on
my uncle went from being an example to being an example of a how I would not want to be when I grow up
KorolEz on
This would be me but luckily my brother doesn’t want children so no future family members to judge me.

Kiddo – if this is you or you see this, love you very much.
Hope I’m still the cool uncle I was when I was a teen trying my best to raise you while your mom… Well, was being your mom. I tried! I know I’m not as spry, wild, and energetic as I was ~18 years ago, but I’m still just as dumb and goofy! Just working a lot more now.
Let’s have lunch sometime, on me! I’ll always make time for you. Love ya kiddo ♥️

I’m gonna go ahead and not go the route of “he was actually a dumb person, my younger self didn’t realize” and give a fitting quote loosely translated from a German musician;
It starts as Ambition, like a match of chess
You’ll mirror every move I make until you render me second best
The power balance is on my side – for the moment, yes
But your chances keep on climbing while your father fades like the rest
Decline is the nature of all things. Some may say unfortunately, others might say for the better

This is so fucking real tbh.
So many “adults” in my life are soooooooo stupid but I had no context to compare them to so I looked up to them.

Genuinely so true for my uncle.
Used to think he was really cool and fun when I was a kid.
Little did I know he’s a deadbeat dad, narcissistic failure, and overall disgusting human.
In hindsight, OF COURSE he was fun to me as a kid. He still behaves like he’s 8.
I don’t speak to him anymore.
Successful_Sun_6283 on
Let me guess, he came out of his MAGA closet?
