The Hate Spreads...
Imagine my surprise when I get a call from the cousin's father...chewing me out. Complaining that I had found and posted this document. I explained to him that it was private, and he finally got it. Apparently X and X's mom BOTH think that I posted it on a public domain, expressed that to him and GAVE HIM MY FLIPPING PHONE NUMBER to appeal to me! Nevermind the fact that I took the document down last night... I've been sitting here fighting back tears/crying since he called. I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. And all because X refused to read and understand my emails. So now I'm basically the black sheep of the family, except to the cousins who think I'm G-d himself (herself?). But at least he listened to what I had to say and said he would pass on the message to X and her mom, since they obviously won't listen to me. And by the end of our conversation he understood why I did what I did and how it wasn't as catastrophic as X made it out to be...although apparently I've now "created a maelstrom" in the family, to use his own words. What a disaster. I seriously want to crawl into my room and not come out for a month...

Geez, how bad could it be? It's history, we all have bad stuff in our past that's how we learn to do better.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? You know your family should feel lucky they have enough history to ignore. I have close to zero information about my father's side of the family because they fled Hitler and IT WAS NOT TALKED ABOUT. However that means I have no medical history for that side of the family, and no relatives on that side except a few cousins. Even our last name was made up when they came here.
ReplyDeleteJeez! I just finished reading this post and the previous one.
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible. Even though the father understands, I think he will have a tough time with the women folk himself, and just thinks you caused the unnecessary commotion.
And what kind of an idiot is X who refuses to understand that you posted the document as private, and that it took you just 30 minutes to find it on the net initially.
I am so sorry.
