If you insist on involving me in family drama from 2500 miles away, we're going to have to set some ground rules.
1. Don't make shit up that involves me. You didn't read it on my facebook page because you don't have access to my facebook page. But, just so we're clear, this blog is very public and you can get this straight from the source.
2. If you have something to say, sack up and say it to me directly. I don't care to hear rumors through other family members.
3. Grow up. I graduated from high school about fifteen years ago (ouch, that hurt to write). Hell, I got out of law school three years ago. Life isn't like Mean Girls or Heathers (depending on your generation) anymore. I am not going to be forced into your little circle of hate. You are sad and pathetic if this is how you thrive. Perhaps a more productive hobby, like knitting perhaps, would be appropriate. (I had something other than knitting down and The Boy suggested I censor myself. Grr.)
4. If you do stupid shit and broadcast it to the entire family, then don't be surprised when people make comments about it. Again, sack up and deal with the fact that you have drama in your life. If YOU have drama, it is YOUR fault. I am not the one causing YOUR drama. YOU ARE. Get over yourself.
5. Leave me out of it. Have I made that clear? If I don't talk to you at family events, it's because I don't want to be involved in your drama. If I don't stay in touch, that's another clue. I would like to live a happy drama free existence. I do not enjoy getting phone calls from my mother or emails from other family members saying that I have done something to offend you. Honestly, the way you've chosen to live your life is typically embarrassing for the rest of us and we are the ones who should be offended.
Okay so... I completely COMPLETELY relate to this. I have a cousin who I do not speak to. She is the family embarrassment. I can't even begin to list the loads and loads of crazy things and behaviors she has exhibited over the years. about 11 years ago we had a HUGE fallout and I called her out on everything and cut her out of my life. Over the years everyone else did the same thing while she spent those years blaming her outsing on ME. I feel like if she is the one acting like a lunatic it isn't MY fault that almost no one speaks to her anymore.
I can only imagine what is going on. I admire you for standing by your convictions and having the balls to say what you think. Go YOU!
