Uncle John

I was with my family discussing our old childhood memories of family gatherings we had (holidays, reunions, birthday parties, etc) mind you, I do not remember much of my childhood and I can only piece together certain things that have happened to me. I remember one of my uncles that I had not seen in years and I asked my family, "hey you guys remember how funny Uncle John used to be?" as I spoke those words everyone suddenly went quiet and my mother's face was white and she shook with fear. I didn't understand what had just happened but I felt uneasy. I asked why they were acting strange. My mother begins to tell me how my Uncle John had died years and years before I was on born. My uncle John was very heavily into drugs and became extremely violent and psychotic.

When I turned four years old she noticed I had an imaginary friend and I told her his name was John. At the time she had thought nothing of it but then I started to act strangely. I hissed at my siblings and growled when I became angry, I was in my room alone a lot and she heard me talking to "John", I became worse and worse. I would go into my sister's room in the middle of the night as she slept and stare at her with a knife in my hand and my mom would find me there, whenever she asked me about it I would tell her "John told me to" I began to abuse my siblings and they feared me and I always told my mother that "it was John, he made me do it" she began to fear that I needed to go to a mental hospital and when I was examined by doctors they had told her nothing was wrong with me and my behavior seemed completely normal. She said afterward everything went normal and I never spoke of "Uncle John" again...

The reason I had brought him up is because I just saw him yesterday.
