Mom,
I’ve suspected you since a few days of your signing on. I’m not using your “blogging name” in this, nor will I “blow your cover”. I do wonder why you are using the anonymity of a Xanga name to mask who you are and why you offer advice under the guise of being a stranger.
If I wanted you to be part of my life I would have tried calling you or emailing you again. If you really wanted to be part of my life you would have been civil the last few times I tried to communicate with you. Instead you have proved just how little you care by blasting me in several emails and, on the last occasion, yelling at me on the phone before hanging up.
I wish that you would (a) butt out of my life or (b) at least have the nerve to contact me as yourself and not some anonymous person online.
I am your daughter – treat me at least as well as you would any other human being. Now is as good a time as any to start this. Drop the “holier-than-thou” facade. Meet where I am in life – here and now – not where you would be if you were me or where you think I should be. I am a great person with lots of ideas and hopes and dreams. Either step up to the plate and embrace them with me or stop snooping in through the computer screen. It’s worth the effort if you are willing to put any forth.
Jennifer
Please don’t leave eProps. Comments only.
I’ll let what she said speak for itself.
Well…despite what you requested I am leaving props because this blog/letter was majorly brave and might I add, extremely well written.
Mind if I use it as a template?

As per request, no props. Even if I think just the same as Nyree does that this is an amazing blog. I don’t know the details of your relationship with your mom although I know where the problem lies through your stories about her. You shouldn’t have to deal with this anonimity, it’s unfair and even cruel to a certain extent as you can’t get the same attention from her face to face.
You did a good thing, Jenn. This blog shows your strength and beauty as a human being.
I’m sorry, I just noticed I propped after all. Force of habit? Anyway, you deserve them.
Wonderful letter.
Well written and mature.
I hope your mom reads this and gets the message.
As requested, no props.
Heh… First it was your ex, now it’s your mom. I wonder when your stepfather will start up. Ergh. People should grow the *frog* up.
I’m sorry you’re having to put up with so much garbage. It sucks. You’re intelligent. You have a SPINE. You’re grown. You’re married. You’re living your own life and making your own decisions. That is worth far more respect, says I.
Addendum to Mommy: What part of holier-than-thou involves cowering while your children are abused? Try resolving THAT sin before judging Jen.
Wow, thanks guys. *blushes*
Boy, I sure wish my mom would log on. But that’d be John Edwards’ territory.
