A touching story Robin. I'm just speculating here, but I think that since your uncle was a victim of child abuse, he created a little world all his own. A way of coping with the trauma and that was better than his reality.
Oh yes, I quite agree. The abuse in that side of the family is quite the collection of stories, all terrible. But there was some aspect of my uncle that survived and thrived despite that abuse. Perhaps if he'd grown up with a loving family, he might have been a notable author or actor or something else entirely. I wish he'd gotten that chance.
