Thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day

I love you too

Thanks for your support. I love you.

We can talk on the phone if you want my life has just been overwhelming

And to be honest talking about it, just makes it worse

How are you doing?

I’m doing better thank you. Everyday I get a little more checked off my list.

I have a rental and I’m staying very far from you. but maybe

I have a rental from enterprise.

We will I have the girls this weekend.

I was calling to see if you wanted Erin, the girls and I to come by and visit around 4 o’clock. We will be heading into town to go to an immersive light exhibit.

Ok I will text you when we leave. It will be around 3:00 and we will be there around 4:00

Love you to.

We are leaving now. ETA is 4:34 PM

15 minute warning.

The girls don’t know about the separation or anything so please don’t mention anything about Erin and I.

I said 15 minute warning 😁

We are here

We called on the gate

Good morning. I don’t know if I ever told you but grandpa/your Dad had a pocket watch that I think he wanted me to have. 🤷🏻‍♂️ that was a long time ago when I went up there though.

I’m sorry.

She told me.

I don’t think shaming her was appropriate.

You constantly guilt and shame others.

But I love you.

And now you are being defensive and passive aggressive.

Did you say the words “Shame on you?”

I’m in a dentist chair numbed up getting 2 crowns put on. You can’t just say yes? You need to explain? Erin and I aren’t upset. I’m just telling you it wasn’t appropriate. She is an estate planning attorney. She does this stuff all day everyday for years

We all have crazy days.

Yeah see spinning it to defend yourself. Reframing to make everyone else the asshole. Did you consider Erin’s workload or life when you dumped that on her?

You can’t ever just acknowledge and move on. You always have to defend your reputation. This is why Jamie doesn’t talk to you. She doesn’t like you. She never did.

She didn’t like the way you criticize our daughters and call the fat or criticize me every time I show up. That’s why she never visited. She didn’t want to deal with your drama.

Like I said I’m not upset we just all recognize your patterns and try to talk to you calmly but you get defensive.

You shit talk all your friends when they aren’t around. You do what everyone call the rounds. You get lonely or bored and call everyone who will listen and gossip. My entire youth you would sit in church and judge everyone. He’s fat, she’s too slow, look at her hair, she’s dressed like a whore. Think about how 45 years of that rubs off on me. Especially while my brain is developing.

I have BPD. The cause of that is your parents not caring for you from 0-3 and just letting you cry. It’s not something that can be fixed it’s a developmental issue with my brain.

So I have permanent damage to the way I perceive relationships and love and it causes me to have self hatred and push people away. That’s why I lash out because my brain didn’t for correctly so I have attachment issues.

Again I love you. I’m not upset. Erin isn’t upset. You just don’t realize everything that is going on.

I said you were dead to me because you told me you couldn’t afford to have me in an apartment and you got a credit card and said it was our credit card but then just charged it a bunch of stuff for you and then used it to buy $200 in pastries from the French Gourmet Bakery and said it was for me when I told you, I just wanted peanut butter and jelly then you drove me to a homeless shelter and told me that that’s where I had to live because you couldn’t afford for me to live there and then you moved into a one bedroom that cost even more than the two bedroom we were in. The after I spent a year looking for a job I finally found one for V&E and you wouldn’t give me $20 to get my car out so that I could go home and shower and sleep.

Did you intend to message me?

I guess your feelings were hurt so you’re not responding?

You called Erin and I both assholes behind our back and we didn’t treat you any different.

I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I don’t want to ignore you I just want common respect for the rest of the family and I.

Happy Easter 🐣🐰🐇

I love you too.

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎈🎂

Happy Mother’s Day!

You too!

Thank you.

Mom,

I want to clear something up, and then ask you for something.

The reason you haven’t been able to reach us is that life has been relentless. Erin’s father passed away, and we were with him to take him off life support. Since then it’s been back and forth without a break, planning his celebration of life, traveling to Dallas, handling his remains, and keeping Erin’s business running through all of it. On top of that I lost my job and my truck was totaled. We’ve been completely underwater. It had nothing to do with anyone being told not to talk to you. No one was.

What I do need to raise: calling Erin’s office, leaving messages with her receptionist, and getting into our relationship with her staff isn’t okay. Those are coworkers who don’t know our family, and it puts personal things in front of people they don’t belong in front of. Same with calling her family and trying to reach the girls through their phones. Please stop.

The calls to everyone around us have to stop. They’re not fair to the people on the receiving end. When things settle down we’ll be back in touch, but right now we need some room.

I know you care about us. Right now the way to show it is to give us that room.
