Dear Son,

 

            After my lengthy conversations with your wife yesterday, I talked with Steve, Stu, and Deb, and they all feel as I do about your determination to see “your family” in Pennsylvania, regardless. So allow me to repeat something one more time to you: They do not want you showing up at their door, or at Heather and Chris’s door either. None of your cousins in Pennsylvania want you to bother them. It has been nine years and sometimes you just have to take NO for an answer. This is one of them.

            If you do show up with your kids and make them uncomfortable by putting them on the spot, they will just be even more annoyed with you all! (is this possible?) The same goes for Connie and Michelle, they have been through enough stress already. So have we. (and so have we !). The only reason we are trying with you is for Allison and Thomas. If you even try to contact anyone in Pennsylvania, we will view that as harassment and we will no longer have anything to do with you, period!

            If all of your wife’s friends and family are furious with us, they wouldn’t be if they had been in our shoes for the past nine years.

            Your sister and her husband, your grandparents can do as they wish, but we feel as I stated, and my mother did too!

 

Sincerely,

Your mother and father

 

This continues to fuel the fire over the unknown. In a nutshell, I better not dare contact anyone in Pennsylvania because my mother has to be right with the lies she told them about us, and I cannot be allowed to speak, as I might actually be right. Certainly my mother would not want to be an outcast, and neither do we. This is not over yet.
