Thanks for writing. It's not like she started all of this when the N came on, she's been doing this since I was 12. The only reason I know is because I recently found my diaries from when I was young, and as I read over them, I thought to myself, I am still this sad, and she is still this mean. I don't know. I guess I just set myself up for disappointment. I should know better but something insaide says "go ahead, she'll be nice this time", Just so you know what the e-mail said that sent her, here it goes:
((((Kimber & Mom,
Hi there!! I was just writing you to let you know a couple of things.. You know, if you were sick and had a migraine, I would NEVER expect you to go somewhere with me. In addition, I would probably call you to see if you felt any better. I do not understand why you and mom would make me feel even worse, rather than saying something like, "I hope you feel better". Instead when I call and talk to mom, I said, "well, I'm sure the party will still be fun", and mom replies by saying, "I doubt it". Okay, is this not supposed to make me feel bad???? You know as well as I do that I always have fun at your parties and of course I want to go. But, I would think that you (kimber) would know how it feels to have a migraine. The whole night you both made me feel like crap. Do you treat people you love like they are a piece of crap? I doubt it. But for some reason you and mom, whenever I do not do what you want me to, you will both purposely make me feel bad, and act as if I had ruined your entire life. I seriously doubt that by me not coming to your party that your life is ruined now. My main point is that this happens all of the time, and I cannot handle much more of it. You both know that I have problems of my own, (no mom I am not "crazy"), and I do not need the trouble of wondering if you two are mad at me because of something that I cannot control. You know, another thing that I want to talk about is, Brian, I know that during the holiday when I was there visiting you guys, when Brian would say, "don't you have to go to sleep or something?", I'm sure he meant it as a joke, however, it hurts my feelings, I hardly think that my narcolepsy is something to be made fun of, especially when there are lots of people around. It was humiliating. I find that every time I call you guys and just want to talk, you either, #1. Blow me off, #2. Talk to someone else while I am on the phone, #3. Act as if I am "bothering" you. Sometimes when I am feeling down, for some reason I always call you, and without a doubt, you always seem to make me feel worse. I am not writing you guys to start a fight or anything, it's just I honestly think that you guys do not realize how mean you really are. Starr)))))))))
Please write me and let me know if this letter deserved the response I got from my mom. Thanks, Starr
