Meanwhile on Planet Crazy

[newlifeinstpaul]

B's mother sent her an email.

I think it was supposed to break her heart and make her feel ashamed of herself and quote-unquote settle this. Especially before the holidays. When people would ask about B and it would embarrass her folks to have to admit they don't know how she's doing.

CLEARLY they have no idea who they're talking to.

And her mum would make a great Trump backer. B let me read it. Her skills at composition woulda got her held back in the 10^th grade in a school system as broken as Detroit. Seriously. They wouldn't have given her a diploma. Not even in the 'Hood.

Even Brenda's starting to say Years May Pass before they speak again. And this was the mum she used to talk to every week for hours at a time.

It isn't even about Trump any more. That would have been easier. At worst, they simply wouldn't have seen ME.

But then they had to get Really Stupid. Even I had no idea 'bout That Much Dumb. It's like seeing what you thought was an oil drip on the ground...? That becomes a Boomtime Texas Gusher.

More later, I guess.

ugh. It's hard to realize your parental units are jerks.
I feel for B.

All so messy and painful. Ugh.

Ugh, that is so stressful. My family blew up four years ago and it has been a lot to get my mind around. I can kind of imagine what B feels like.

that really sucks. you'd hope instead of attacking they would actually try to talk with their daughter. it seems people have a hard time apologizing or even acknowledging what complete assholes they are.

I really hope that I'll never be like that to my kids.

I'm so sorry :(

Ugh. Poor Brenda - I mean, it sounds like they're not much loss, but all the same.

*hugs* to both of you.

Sorry for all that.
Been there and it isn't fun.

Life is hard enough w/o having family members make it worse. I'm glad Brenda has you.
