If any of you remember waaaayyy back in November, all my sister-in-laws deleted me from FB without a word of why. I figured it was because I made indirect comments about my in-laws...(no names - and except for my sister-in-laws none of my FB friends know who these people are)
Thanks to the wonderful advice I got here, I got over it. Detachment is a great thing.
Then today, in my in-box was the following email:
Hi Mom2oddson, sorry it has taken me so long to write u. Life is out of control with three kids! I wanted to tell u why I deleted u from FB. I was upset about the things you were posting on fb about my parents. I know u were upset and I get that but I did not feel like it was everyone's business and I did not want to read about it anymore. Yes I should have talked to you about it but I felt like if you want to post that kind of stuff you are going to and who am I to say u can't. So I though it was just easier to not be able to read it anymore. I know you guys are having a hard time with them and I can tell you they have not told me anything and I like it that way. At the end of the day they are still my parents I was a fended by your post. I hope you guys are doing good and I think about you guys all the time. Tell my brother I said hi!
There is nothing bad in there. Nothing that I didn't figure out all by myself when I was deleted..... but why e-mail this six months later?? What am I supposed to do with this?
Am I supposed to respond? ignore? Think everything is okay between us now? I don't get it. Why did it take six months for something that should of been said in November?
My gut reaction is to just ignore it. Too much water has gone under the bridge for me to really care anymore. But then, maybe not responding would be the wrong thing to do?
This is all my fault!! I made the comment to a friend on Sunday that I'm really enjoying my life with my biggest drama being "What do I want to make for dinner?" I tempted fate. That's all there is to it and now I have new drama....if this could really be called drama. It's just more family garbage being thrown my way.
So, any words of wisdom? Advice? Suggestions? Opinions? (I'm getting too old for this!)
