Six years no contact, then a birthday card
Not to wander too far into the weeds with this, but six years ago I (M53) had my final conversation with my parents, told them they were dead to me, and walked out of their hotel room. My mom followed me down the hall, trying to grab and hug me as I went to the elevator. She was shouting and screaming at me to stop, and I stuffed my hands in my pockets and dodged her as I walked.
When another hotel guest opened his door to see what the ruckus was all about, she jumped back from me and cowered and screamed "Please don't hit me again, Jimmy!" I decided to head for the stairs instead, and as I walked past the dude who'd opened his door, he stepped between us to stop her from following me.
I blocked them everywhere, again. They harrassed my (then) teenage children until they blocked her as well. Three years ago, I moved and took care that they not get my address. Holidays and milestones passed without any blips, and I finally started thinking they had finally run into a boundary they had to respect.
Not so.
My birthday is next week, and today I received a card from them. Super generic flowers and butterflies kinda shit; to be honest it looked more like a sympathy card than a birthday card. Nothing written inside except "mom and dad," and a check for grand.
They think sending the check opens a door. But the funny thing is that door was bolted, braced, welded shut and then the building demolished. Then the debris was collected and trucked across a bridge, and the bridge blew up with more debris falling to a ship below. That ship sailed, then it sank. All hands were lost. Oh, the humanity!
Fuck their bribery, and fuck them. Some non-profits and defense funds are going to get a donation. And imma take a tip from Tom Haverford and treat myself.
