Chapter 20 - Where Have You Been?

Deb Oh reflected on the conversation she had with her uncle when listening to Liz's 'Lies Kill.'

The song struck a nerve, recently Deb Oh fought with her Uncle Ay. The two had conflicts in the past which could go on for as a long as 3 months before amicably bringing the fight to an end.

Deb Oh was the one that would apologize first even when the fault may not have been 100% from her side.

"Where have you been? I called you yesterday and even had to call your daughter this morning to find your whereabouts! I thought something happened to you!"

Ever since her mother's demise Deb Oh became consumed by grief and paranoia. Her uncle never went a day without returning her calls, each time they fought it was usually about him not calling her back when he was unavailable.

"You didn't drop a voicemail..."

"Is that why you ignored my call?! Because I refused to leave a voicemail on your phone? Do you know how worried I was? I thought you were sick or that something bad had happened to you?! Wow! I can't believe this!"

Deb Oh flew into a state of rage at the laid back tone of her uncle, the following morning was when she called her cousin Xel when she hadn't heard back from her uncle the previous night.

"How is your sister?"

"I'm not talking about my sister, in fact I don't want to talk to you ever again!"

Deb Oh knew she was acting unreasonable but unable to control her preoccupation about death made her lash out at her uncle.

"Okay then, Good night Deb."

Deb Oh could hear the note of finality in her uncle's voice but she was too angry to stop him from hanging up.

One thing was clear, Deb Oh could possibly be having signs of Dependence Disorder or Borderline Personality disorder secondary to her current mental illnesses that she had uncovered from an online mental health assessment questionnaire.
