What does her son being a dumbass have anything to do with why you don't want to talk to your aunt?
I don't mind talking to her. I just don't want to talk about her son. She doesn't want to accept that multiple people in my family don't want anything to do with him. So she is causing a rift when it doesn't have to be that way.

Print out what you just told us and mail it to her before the holiday.

How about be a man and tell her that her son is a frickup. She already knows, that’s why she shipped him off

Just tell her straight up he needs help and until he changes for the better, I want no part of it.

He really needs to do something about that popcorn ceiling.

Just tell her he’s a piece of shite
She needs to be told that

My own Dad has not and will not speak to me in 16 years. Soon he will be dead and not a single blood relative will attend his funeral. We all like him but he drew a line and now he lives with it. He never met his grandkids. I also have a niece who won’t return my calls.
On the other hand, my in-laws are like my family. I have a Mom who would walk through a wall for me. I have been a best man four times and I love my bros as much as family.
The point is, some times you are estranged from family. It might not “ look right “ from the outside, but it is what it is. Sometimes it’s just for self- growth or preservation. Tell your aunt you love her and you hope her son has a great life, but that you don’t feel that being bound by her rules is good for your development as a person. And let her deal with it.

Can you just say you are a grown man, and dont really have time for foolishness?

I can, but I typically come across as an a-hole, so I try to avoid conflicts.

Cousins drift apart over time naturally in most cases. This isn't even an issue. My cousins are awesome guys. We grew up together. Love seeing them at family functions now and then. The relationship doesn't go much further than that.
How many people later in life have even seen or heard from their cousins frequently once they've started a family of their own?
Life runs its course.

Being truthful the first time would have allowed you to avoid all of this drama.

Seems simple. Tell her how you feel and that you do not want him in your life anymore because he is a bad apple. She can respect it or not. That isnt on you.
It’s obvious he doesn’t want to do this because he’s worried about his gangster cousin with neck tats beating him up for sayin that shite
Otherwise, he would have handled this shite like a man instead of coming to the OT for advice

I see that he has added a neck tat from his most recent mugshot.

Every 6 months she hits me or my brother up on social media asking why we don't talk to her son anymore.
So she kicks him out of her life but then asks you why you don't keep in touch with him? Sounds odd.

She knows he is garbage and doesn't need you telling her so. If she brings any of this bullshite up, give her a short answer, and cut her off. The last thing you want is a long drawn-out conversation about it.
Just say something like "Because his life and mine have gone in different directions. Hey mom, that pie looks great! can I get a taste now?". Then walk away.

This is where you are brutally honest way before the trip, and then make other plans that don't include aunty because she gon' be pissed.

Send her your op.
Should handle it.
