The entire family's shaken but no immediate harm was done. The kidnapping wasn't a random act of violence because they took him from his ranch outside of the city my family lives in. The kidnappers were idiots and got all of their faces on a bank surveillance camera because they stole paychecks my uncle had for his ranchworkers. People are thinking it's either one of his ranchworkers or a former one that conducted this.
My dad is the most shaken he's been in years but like
fuck
I know he'll want to see his family now more than ever and I am not blaming him for that, but the fact that this took place outside of the city we visit isn't going to help my case in being like "PLEASE DON'T LET ME GO DOWN THERE"
He doesn't really understand that because he's male and fluent in Spanish he has a much better time surviving anything bad than if I were down there. (and hell, I'm probably the smallest one in my entire family. how does that happen??)
he wants to see his family - I understand. but I don't want to be dragged along on a dangerous trip like that. sigh. hnngnhghgghnhgh.
talking with the bf about his family stressing I spend christmas with them...
