Shit hits the Fan...

Well, Stepspawn called the Hub last night, she's been really angry since reading my email to her grandparents and mother...

Back the fuck up. They let her read my email? Nice, drag a 16 year old into it, that's mature. The Hub set her straight about a lot of things, and she was basically calling to be grandpa's mouthpiece, and to try and get info to take back to grandpa. The Hub figured this out right quick, and gave her things he wanted BTIL to know. She's still got some feistiness left in her, so I'm thinking she'll smarten up quicker than we thought. I sent her a letter, they actually let her have it, so we'll see if she writes back, doubtful, but here it is:

Dear Stepspawn,
Hello, just wanted to drop you a letter since you will be moving soon and we aren't going to be able to visit with you before you go. I hear you are excited about moving to Arkansas, and I hope that you will find whatever fulfillment you are seeking there. If by chance you get there and decide it's not the place for you, I hope you know that your Dad and I would love to have you back here with us, and if that is something you think you might want to do in the near future, do not hesitate to call us. We have talked to Martin about getting Butters (the dog) back, so if you should want to move back, we can and will get her for you.

I know that things have been strained between us since you moved to La Puke, and I wanted to apologize to you. I heard that you were angry with me, even hated me, that's why I haven't made an effort to call you. I wanted to give you some time and space, and let you contact me if that was something you wanted to do. Your Dad and I wanted you to visit your grandparents, then come back here and be able to start fresh, and that wasn't the way things turned out, obviously. No matter what anyone has told you, we both love you very much and neither of us wanted things to turn out this way.

I hear you are doing very well with your home schooling, and I think that's wonderful. I hope you change your mind about possibly going to college, I think you are very bright and there are so many things you could do with your life. Are you getting your license, or have you already? I know you were very excited about driving, and I hope you are afforded the opportunity to do that. Did you get a chance to spend your gift card that we sent you for Christmas? I didn't know if you were still into Hello Kitty, but I thought that if you were you could find something at Claire's that you would enjoy.

Please keep in touch with us, so we know you are doing well. We both miss you and love you very much, and no matter what our differences have been in the past that will never change how I feel about you. Please call us when you get settled in Arkansas, let us know how things are going for you.

We both love you very much.

The Mayor


Then I proceeded to give her all of our emails, phone numbers, address and the like, so she would have all our contact info on one peice of paper. I threw in some photos too, including an eticing one of her and the dog...I know, playing dirty, not as dirty as the BTIL though!
