Oh yes thank you step-mother for reminding me how I loathe you. I sent her 2 e-mails yesterday. One about her mother and one saying I wasn't going to Christmas. She responded only to the one saying I wasn't going to Christmas to tell me I didn't have the full story.

Let me see, last year my brother made a mistake, a human mistake. He was engaged, he made out with someone else, relaized that clearly the engagement wasn't right, broke it off. Couldn't afford to drive home so our father could yell at him for being a horrible person, was told not to come to family gathering until he did. Also was told his grandfather would be ashamed of him and that he never should have been named after him. I talked to my brother the other day, he's evidently got a list of things he's supposed to do before he's un-disowned. He doesn't seem to concerned with getting them done. I don't feel to concerned about missing a gathering of my step-mothers family. If she e-mails me again I'm going to respond with what ever is appropriate to the contents of the e-mail and then throw in something about, plus I don't know which boyfriend I'd bring with me anyway. Then they could be equally horrified at me and then I wouldn't have to worry about it any way.
