There is something to be said about narcissistic personality of Aiden.
I read MY UNDOING and SORDID TRUTHS. Both are very self-serving.
Truth looks very distorted when there are many narcissistic mirrors around.

GWM, graduate degree, Chicago.

he made a big deal about encouraging gays to acome out to their families, but he did not have the guts to do so, and thus his sister had to do it, and suffer the mother’s tantrums and suicide threats.Where was he when his mother had cancer, when his sister had cancer, when his sister’s husband died?

He says he has no family. his mother was 1 of 10 siblings, his father 1 of 5. He had 16 cousins. he chose to walk away

he inherited large amounts of money, secretly squandered but preferred to whine about living on 20 cents a day. Nonesense!

His sister helped him at every turn, but he turned against her, became heterophobic and accused her of “coming at me with hob-nail boots”, enjoyed many many gracious hostings, returned only with vicious responses, until she had to give up. she tried for years to help. too many things to enumerate, too many insults to forget.

he refused to ever look for a job in priv. industry = “I am not cut out for a 9-5 job” , preferred hand-outs and charity. prized title of “DR.” comes from gov’t money from the bill of rights.

he whined about money; he DEMANDED money from his mother and sister. how else could he buy the house at 5020? He was panicked in 1984 and we bought the house.

I am that sister, and have endured years of insults, and never gratitute. I could easily write a book for that book-store. he did not,; if he did he would would have to leave out a lot of untruths.

I am glad for the good things he has done; he did not have to do them at my expense. Much of what he did was out of egomania, obefssional monomania, and for fame and glory. I would have liked to be proud of him instead of suffering the pain he has inflicted upon me.

I do not deny the good he did, but a lot at my expense, and a lot for his own fame and glory.
