Keeping up appearances

Jul 13, 2009 11:27

Mommy has been back in Canada for a week. Before coming back she commented that she had tried to call my grandparents a couple of times since daddy (their son) had died, but that every time she did she felt like she was getting the cold shoulder ( Read more... )

mommy, grandparents

I don't think I need to comment much on this except that I agree that respect is not unconditional. That is really unfortunate that they want to hold this against your mom and they should know that you are an adult and your choice to not take their calls is your own and not a function of your mom. Anyway, like you said, it's their own torture. I hope at some point things will be at peace with all of you though. ♥

Thanks Ally. I think there is too much hurt and too much pride for reconciliation, but I guess anything is possible. We'll see!

what a bitch.
anyway, i can't believe i'm letting her come to my reception. ugh! oh well, for mommy.

but yea, i know if mama EVER said that shit while daddy was here, she'd be in SOOO MUCH SHIT! i know daddy knows what mama said now. but oh man, there is NO way he would let mommy take that shit from her lying down.

stand up and beat that shit with a wooden spatula!

I know this post may not be the best place for this (sorry), but Geoff mentioned to me that you were getting married soon. Even though I've never met you, I wanted to say congrats to you & Kurt, and may you have many years of love & happiness together :)

it's a shame how the elderly think they hold the authority to judge family members. I'm surprised you held yourself back. I remember my mom's sister (my aunt) reaming my mom once over something, and we (my brother and I) called and cussed her face off. The family was in shock, and borders were stepped upon, but we made our point. Authorities of age? whatever. It's a crime already that they inherently hold a personal bias for no good reason. The situation places them in a position of fault, and any person with reason and who aren't at fault shouldn't have to stand up for that shit.
Not that I would encourage confrontation, but having this pent up will do you no good. Hopefully, the right time will come with the right lesson, either from you, or from someone else.

I don't even know what to say, but that's just fuckin ridiculous! As Ally said, I hope peace can be made at some point.
Love you! <3
