I (J) have a cousin that I grew up with and we have been tight since we were kids sliding down the stairs in sleeping bags. He is a 4 years older than me, and, in many ways, I looked up to him. Four years ago, he fathered two children, a boy and a girl, with a woman he was dating. He asked me to be their Godfather. Being honored, of course I accepted. Well, he has probably seen his kids probably 3 or 4 times in their lives, pays no child support and sleeps with a different, new woman every few nights. He has absolutely no regard for his kids. I have tried to talk with him about it countless times. I have lost countless hours of sleep over this. He always has a new excuse. Over the years, his behavior has really pissed me off, so a few months ago, I cut his black ass off. Stopped taking his calls, emails and text messages. But I told him why–that it’s he’s a deadbeat Dad, and I don’t associate with deadbeat NIGGAS. I owed him an explanation.
Well, the other day, he starts blowing my up via text message: “I thought love was unconditional? No one is perfect! Love covers a multitude of sin.”
TheStateOf . . . Love. Am I wrong for cutting this negro off? Or do I have to fake like his behavior doesn’t bother me and continue to hang out with him in the name of “unconditional love?”
