Now his mom has turned to the web to ask if that was ajerkmove.
Apparently, her son had been asked by her flaky-at-best sister to take photos at her wedding.
Two weeks later, despite not paying yet, the guys aunt wanted to know where her pictures were.
Her nephew explained that thepictureswere ready to hand over, but only once he got paid.
The aunt replied that shed get back to him.
About 8 months later she still hadnt paid but asked for her photos again.
The nephew doubled down with a firm No money, no pictures reply.
The aunt went off in a huff, but still didnt make any arrangements for payment.
Thats when her nephews mom told her the bad news: all the pics had been deleted.
Well, the aunt lost it, acting completely shocked and appalled.
Her sister then asked her if she wouldve left a professional photographer hanging for nearly a year.
Still, OP said, they would never be as good as the shots her son took.
OPs son has since admitted that he feels kind of guilty about it.
Although they might be better off without her, there are ways to deal with a toxic family member.
Toxic behaviors initiate the gamut, says Sharon Martin, a licensedclinical social workerin San Jose, CA.
Truly toxic behaviors are part of a pattern of maltreatment or lack of regard for others.
They arent isolated incidents.
Toxic people rarely change their behavior, or want to.
They may lack self-awareness or respond with denial when confronted with their poor treatment of others, adds Martin.
Even for a family member.
She meant to take advantage of him.
We asked McQueen whether or not she though the nephew acted too drastically.
In this scenario, the aunt is probably very skilled at getting her way and stringing people along.
