Long time ago I moved out on my someone I use to call my best friend while in college. Without going into details, there were many reasons why I did this and stopped talking to her.
The last couple of years, my mom has decided to send me updates on her family. Apparently she works with someone that is a neighbor of this family. More recently she reported that her brother went to Iraq and today she decided to send me her father's obiturary.
I have some empathy, yes, but honestly: I don't care. I really doubt my mom is trying to get us to talk to each other because she'll make snide comments about the family in the email. I've told my mom before that I could care less about ex-friend and the family. The emails will die down, but then she'll talk to this coworker and then the information starts to come in. I've finally just taken to ignoring the emails and when I write back I don't even acknowledge the information she sent.
Thanks for letting me vent a little.
