Wow, that sucks that your family member lost their job there. So they took your uncle's word that they knew over her? I'd try to fight that if that were me, so I suppose in that situation, that's how I'd deal.

I've had lots of bad stuff happen to me tbh I don't know exactly what I did to deal, I just did. I've had people ask me how on earth I've coped with things but at times you have the choice to either give up or just plow through the shit... and that's what I did. Not saying it was an easy ride or anything but you do what you gotta do. I've also found that the ones who claim to hate drama the most (in my life) are generally the ones who create it the most.

With those people I gradually cut them out of my life.
