So Shortmama hosts a Dear Someone and I always thought it was a cool concept but never had anything to say...until today. So here we go, my first Dear Someone.
Dear Someone:
It's official I have had enough of you and your hurtful, unstable, unnecessary craziness!
For the last 10 years you have brought to the table a heaping serving of drama, bitterness and maliciousness. Well guess what? My plate runneth over. I'm on a diet. I'm full. I don't like what you're serving. Stick a fork in me I'M FREAKING DONE!
We have all tried to accept you and make you feel welcome but you have denied each and every one of us. You claim no one has tried. You're a liar. This family was a happy family for the 14 years I was part of it without you and now it's full of constant turmoil, all at your doing. If your desire was, or is, to make this family as miserable as you I hate to break it to you but we are stronger than you. We will unite and you will lose!
Honestly, I am sad for you. You need help. I would not wish your life of misery on anyone. What makes it so sad is that you have the option for it to be better. Better for you. Better for your children. Better for your husband. Better for the rest of us and yet you choose not to take it. Do you enjoy being miserable? Do you enjoy making others miserable? I think the answers have been made perfectly clear, yes you do! Why?
The Holidays are rapidly approaching and the current situation we find ourselves in will make that very uncomfortable. I have come up with a solution. Thanksgiving, we will be gone, partially because we wanted to avoid you, so no worries there. Christmas will be held at my house, as always, but this year it will be by invitation only. If I were you I wouldn't wait for yours to arrive!
I love your husband. I love your children. I will continue to pray that you find the inner peace you need to offer a life different than you had for them. I will pray that you will discover that the happiness and well being of your children should always be greater than that of your own. I will continue to pray for the health and happiness of those two innocent children. And as hard as it may be for you to believe I will continue to pray that one day you will be free of the demons that control you and that you will be able to be a part of this very loving family.
In the mean time. Stop hurting the innocent members of this family. If you cannot control your mouth don't call. If you cannot control the keyboard don't type. And for the record adding an LOL after a nasty comment does not make it OK!

Wow I feel so much better! Now if you happen to be the person I wrote this to, stop visiting my blog until you can control yourself!
Happy Friday Y'all!

I could have written a similar letter to my MIL!!! Sorry for such a pain in the butt family member...I feel your pain!
Love that you said you are on a diet...hilarious!
I'm sorry for your family having to deal with this...it seems like every family has to have one!
Great letter!
WOWZA!!!!!
For the first time in a long, long time, this mouthy girl is SPEECHLESS!!
Wonder if "someone" will see it.
XOXO
Dear, Shawn........
I have this ex that I have to face in 57 days..... Will you write me a Dear Someone letter??? That was SO well done!!! I felt better after I read it!!! and I don't even know the person or the circumstances... but you got your point and your feelings across.... beautifully!!!
Well said sister! I don't know what the latest drama is but based on all the previous ones over the years I can somewhat imagine. Hopefully "someone" will read it and for once stop & get some help.
Sounds like a "Sister in Law" kind of deal. I had one of those, but she kindly decided to ditch my brother AND their children for want of something "just for her". I knew from the get-go she was a user, and selfish, selfish person, but no one listened so I shut up. I don't even feel smug about it, since she put her kids through so much pain. What goes around comes around, in my mind. She'll get hers.
People like this just don't change, but we can always hope. If she really does read your blog, she can't help but get the message, and things will certainly be changing! Karma's a bitch. ;)
Kudos to you for taking this step!
Yipes! Sounds like a super negative person who you have tried to help, but to no avail. Good for you for circling your wagons and protecting your family from this wacky person.
