Any of you whom know me know that me and my aunt have had words recently.
I am adopted by one parent - my dad.
My aunt, my mother's sister, is angry for two reasons 1. I studied other religions besides "christianity". and 2. I am making a LIFE PLAN (adoption) for one of my children with my beloved sister and friend.
I wrote my aunt a letter - defending myself and my family - I no longer study "other religions" and have a wonderful relationship with my Lord and those I call "family".
My aunt retaliated by saying, "Your mother didn't sell you."
And this was my response:
Now am amused and instead of trying to be patient and nice.. I will be cruel like you. The only difference I see is I am choosing to be cruel.. you seem to make a habit of it.
Sell indeed. Let me get my "bill of sale" out of my cabinet.... so you can see it... oh, what's this?? I cannot find it.... hrm... That is because there NEVER WAS ONE! Interesting.. did Tim get a bill of sale for me when MY ADOPTION was finalized? Or did you think I didn't know about that little gem?
*ROLLS WITH LAUGHTER AT A THOUGHT*
I am going to make him one -- why? Because I would rather have him have a "bill of sale" on my adoption then for YOU to have it!
By the way, where is Vicky in all of this? Does she know now too? Or have you kept "the silence" so that she won't "be hurt"? Or is it that she does know and is doing her usual silent treatment for punishment? I think I would rather have the silent treatment -- it is by the way the thing I am now so well accustomed too. And it's a blessing too .......... I would rather have dead silence from her than the cruelty you've been blessing me with.
Cruel... so very very cruel you are to pass judgment on me. Cruel the words you write in your blinded anger and sanctimony. Cruel the words you used in your statements about me and MY family on the phone.
Did you forget you make mistakes? Did you forget you sin too? hrm.... I know of a few now .. and one of them YOU yourself told me about accounts as MURDER! Last I checked adoption isn't such a thing.
Take your sanctimony and your cruelty and use it on YOUR FAMILY! Not mine. I am sure that Nat with child, her husband and Andrew with any girlfriend or wife would be completely BLESSED AND LOVED to hear how LOVELY YOU SOUND!
Heather - whom thinks your life isn't so blessed after all... since you don't use words of love and understanding but those of bitterness and hatred.
PS I am no longer afraid of "loosing you" as family. Because.. well... you haven't been family as I have come to know and love anyway.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear of supposed family being so cruel. Getting her out of your life will only be good for you. Hugs.
