You never need to be sorry for sharing your life with me. I know how to disengage when I need to, and short of that, I like having people infodump, rant, and brain-dump at me.

It is super shitty that you got harassment and prejudice for being related to someone, and especially someone who has a constitutional right to sass the police for being the way they are. They were proving your uncle right by treating you unjustly.
