I think seven years was the longest she went without contact, but there were three years, and five years, and three years again. She used the slightest provocation to justify getting angry with me. There wasn’t much I could do.
She is less than 13 miles from me and I hear from her when it suits her. Which is maybe once every 6-10 weeks. And then it’s on Facebook, addressed to other people.
I just don’t allow myself to get excited about anything she says or does. She invited me (by text) to go to her step-son’s graduation and dinner, but I have to pay for my dinner. This is the daughter and her husband who took his two kids to Europe last year for three weeks.

Ohwell.
Kids! You can’t live with ‘em and you can’t shoot ‘em.
