Wedding Woes

FB can be evil

My mother and my father's sister connected with each other on FB. MinM has a father, you ask? That is because I never mention the alcoholic, crazy SOB who owes my mom a bahzillion dollars in child supprt. (OK, not a bahzillion, but it is in the 6 figure range).

Father's sister remembers us and very much wants to be a part of our lives. And OFFUCKING COURSE, she lives about an hour away from ME (this sh1t never happens to my sisters) This lady doesn't mean anything to me and only serves as a reminder of my father, which as you may have gathered by now, isn't exactly puppies and rainbows for me.

I have no problem saying no to meeting her. What is eating me is that I feel almost betrayed that my mother told this woman where I live. I don't want his sister telling my father ANYTHING about me, especially my location. He failed to provide for us, so I take that as him opting out of our lives.

I know I need to calm down before I talk to my mom about this, so my emotions don't get the best of me. But I'm pissed and a little sad.

    Yeah I'd be angry too if my mom gave out my address to anyone without my permission. But did she know how you felt about your aunt beforehand? Maybe she just thought it would be nice for you 2 to catch up, not thinking about it getting back to your father. I'm not saying she was right, just that she might not have thought the whole thing through.

    ugh. I know how you feel. My sister gave our aunt my address, who gave it to my bio dad. That is in prison.

    Thanks, bitch.

    So has she contacted you. You have every right to be pissed at your mom. Don't censor yourself too much or she may not get that you mean it.

    No, hmo. They just spoke this weekend, because apparently my father's brother passed away. He died of kidney failure. I think my mom was trying to feel me out on the situation. I remained very neutral, so hopefully she got the hint. However, given her previous transgressions, I have a feeling I am going to have to be very explicit.

    That was very wrong of your mom.  I hope she gets your point this time.

    Yeah, mom was wrong on all counts, but maybe aunt is not crazy like her brother.
