newlifeinstpaulB'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 10th 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.

LaserDad's an old-school, belt-whuppin' Bible-shaker and even HE knows not to bring that shit around.
OH and they even came at her with this 'gave you life and took care of you when you were sick (with cancer)' thing. I was all Chris Rock--and I quote--Whaddaya want a COOKIE? That's what you're SPOSED to do, ya low-expectation-having MUTHA you get the idea.

B should print a copy, mark it up with red pen and Post-Its and mail it back.
