In response to your email.
Dear Mom,
Just read the email that you sent to DH. Let me just clarify and then I am done with
you. First, the school pictures were in SS’s
bag for several days. I do not know why
you did not get to see them, I honestly thought that you had. If I am wrong then you have my apologies for
that. None the less, I truly thought
that you had seen them. At any rate,
when you saw me Monday at school, I had dropped off the photos off with Mrs.
Byrd because it was my fault that they were not in SS’s bag on Friday so that
he could turn them in, I didn’t want Mrs. Byrd asking SS for them/money and then
putting undue stress on him. That is
all, nothing more, nothing less, just trying to make things easier for SS, period. No maliciousness involved, simply trying to
do the right thing.
Now, you actually think that I am jealous of you. Seriously, seriously Mom. I am not jealous of you, not one bit. You and I were getting along just fine, until
the other year, (last year? Not checking dates.) When you asked for us to send SS’s
clothes back and you did not reciprocate, that bothered me so being the person
that I am, I asked you about it, then got a lie in reply that you never said
that, both SS and DH said that you asked for the return of the clothes. That angered me, yes, angered me, it was not
about the clothes, not at all, just about reciprocity, do unto others, you’ve
heard of that, yes?
As written before, we were getting along until that, we had
both asked for forgiveness for past wrongs, and forgiveness we received. Only I didn’t receive it, not fully, because
after that incident, you began to bring all past transgressions back, apropos
of nothing. It is my understanding of
the Bible and God based on my upbringing, that once transgressions are
forgiven, truly forgiven, they are not brought up again. Perhaps I am wrong.
Again, after that incident, DH and I both received many an
email from you with much nastiness and name calling. Once they started I was done with you. DONE.
Your emails are mean, nasty, and totally UNCHRISTIAN (walk the walk
honey if you are going to talk the talk).
I find it amusing how you want to be an inspiration to people, how great
you think God is, how we should all be forgiving, etc. Funny, I wonder if those same people read the
nasty, mean, swearing emails that are sent to us (seemingly on a regular basis)
what those same people would think of you.
Jealous, no, I think not.
You are SS’s mother, I respect that, but that is all. That is ALL.
I do not wish to be around you, see you, or hear you. You make my stomach turn and my skin crawl
with the skiviness that is you, that is solely based on your behavior. Your behavior. Your behavior. Own it. Own it. Go back and re-read your emails of the last
year, read them.
I do not wish to be SS’s mother, I have a child that I gave
birth to, so I do know what it is to be a parent, I’ve been one for going on 24
years now, so I get it! I simply love SS,
as if he were my flesh and blood, and try to treat him that way. With so much negativity surrounding being a
stepparent in the media, Disney films etc., I am just trying to be a positive
influence in his life, help him when he needs it, but trying to be his mother,
no way, not a chance. SS loves you more
than life itself, I happen to think that is amazing, and wonderful! SS is a very lucky kid, he is surrounded by
love and I would think that you would be pleased about that. Oh, well, wrong I am.
This is the absolute LAST correspondence from me that you
will receive, if you respond, I will simply file it away with the other
insanity that we have. I am writing now, to ask you to NOT write to
me (you can’t because you are blocked from my account) or about me, call me
(you can’t as you have been blocked from calling my phone) or in any way shape
or form contact me. To do so will
violate this request.
