I'm ready to divulge something that happened last week. I didn't want to .. for fear it would jinx my deal with the 100 man law firm. However, as the deal may not go through anyway, I figure what the hell, because something happened tonight to compound my outrage at the thing that happened last week.
At a time when I was so apprehensive about the deal with the law firm, I took a very long trip by subway, and bus, two hours each way last week,.,. to visit my friend Adam for his bday, in NJ at his parents house. In spite of his parents taking me out for a nice dinner, I also got the verbal shellacking of my life from Adam's mother, from nowhere, and for no reason, as I didn't do anything at that time to deserve it. It was just brought up to me, out of the clear blue, as nothing happened beforehand, or in recent years, between Adam and me, or his parents and me, to justify his mother's outburst at me last week. , .
I may have posted how Adam and I were friends for several years in the 1980s, parted ways, and then found each other on Facebook in 2010. At the time we parted ways in the 1980s, I sent him a nasty letter, that I know was hurtful. We discussed it in 2010 when we got back together, and supposedly have moved past it.
Last week, when I was at his parents house, out of nowhere.. Adam's mother began verbally ripping me to shreds about the letter I sent in.. 1989. When I calmly told her that I was sorry, and could we please move past it, she told me she would never forget it. It outraged me, not only that she threw something up to me from 25 years ago, but that she had me in her house for visits over the past four years, like nothing was wrong, and then said she would never forget something I did 25 years ago.
Whoever I told about her outburst, was outraged. I've decided that while I want to continue my friendship with Adam, my intent is never to set foot in his mother's house again, and to avoid her at all costs.
Tonight, for whatever reason, Adam's mother emailed me about seeing a gift my parents had given Adam's sister for Adam's sister's wedding to her now ex husband, in.. 1988. I was stunned. The woman rips me to shreds, and then sends me this BS. After the hell I've been through the last 24 hours with work. and the apprehension about the situation with the 100 man law firm, I decided to take the high road, and send her a "That's nice" one line email. I hope I don't hear from her again.
Sigh! I truthfully don't understand this. When it rains, it pours. All that matters now is that I get some signings on track with work, and that those that I love stay healthy. My dad, my aunts, Cheryl, Barney, and Adam have been very supportive about the situation with the law firm. Those are the people in my real life who I want to deal with/hear from now, unless it's my supervisor, or a client, telling me something about work.
