Hello. The only reason I e-mailed her is because if I call or talk to her in person, she either hangs up on me, or yells over my talking. It's hard for me not to tell her about my health issues, because my insurance is still through her and she pays for it. But, if I say anything, or correct her when she states something about the big N that isn't true, I'll correct her. I do it in a kind way, and the only reason I am correcting her is because I don't want her to make herself look stupid. Here is the letter I e-mailed to them:
Please read it and then tell me what you think about considering the previous story:
(((((((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)))))))))))

Thanks for reading, Starr
