I got two e-mails from my sister today. The first:
Sarah,
I can't believe you did that! Wow. What are you thinking out there? Mom said
she didn't care if you got a tattoo, but make sure you can hide it. I had to
tell Dad. I know you are going to be mad, but he would have found out anyway
sooner or later. I keep thinking that you are going to be like suprise! It
rubs off! I don't even know what to say. I'm sorry I told Dad without talking
to you first. I hope you won't be mad at me for long. Let me know what's going
on.

WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
This is the second (the e-mail she sent my dad):
Dad,
I cannot believe that Sarah was this irresponsible. She obviously did not
think about the longterm consequences before she got this hiddeous tattoo. How
will she get a decent job without wearing long sleeves for the rest of her
life? I can't believe she did this. She has also mentioned not going to
classes regularly and being so careless with her money that she is often in
the hole. At least we know how she's spending her money. I wanted you to see
this-I know a lot of kids go kind of crazy when they leave home, but this is
extreme. She's not thinking about the future at all. Maybe you could say
something. I don't think anyone here is getting through to her.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, I just thought you should know.
Love,
Elizabeth

My sister got pregnant for the first time when she was 19 years old, with her student professor. Then she started dating her boss, and he got fired. They moved in together and they now have a baby together. My sister dropped out of college. She and her now-fiance are "in the hole" ALL THE TIME. Oh my god... I am failing to see how anything I do is any of her business. My dad is going to kill me.
I wrote her an e-mail telling her that she has no right to judge me and that she had no right to tell my dad. I think I made her feel really bad, because she IMed me and apologized a whole bunch, and she left a message on my cell phone apologizing, and I think she was crying.
I kind of feel bad, because I have always been my dad's favorite, and I think Liz just wanted to show him that I make mistakes too... She really wants him to love her and be proud of her, I guess. It's really stupid, but I feel bad that I yelled at her. I want my dad to love her, too. I mean, of course he loves her, but I want him to love her as much as he loves me. *sigh*
I'm going to have a freaking panic attack.
