dear so-called 'family',
so i know that i havent seen you, my aunt and uncle, in about 7 years and we are by no means close, that doesn't mean you have to make me feel guilty for attempting to stay with you while i happened to be in montreal. in fact, i didn't even ask. all i said was "hi, it's really good to talk to you, perhaps we could see each other while i'm here (which i have been all of once since i was born), so it's not like i'm constantly on your doorstep asking for a place to stay. sure, i didn't exactly call you up weeks in advance to co-ordinate schedules, but the fact that you were out of town when i happened to call definatly inconvienced me more than it did you, so why claim that i "expected you to plan your life around me without giving you advanced notice"? i asked if we could see each other. if you just couldn't bear that, than you should of been polite, said that it wouldn't work out and tell me to call another time. instead you have made me feel like i don't even have a right to get to know my dad's half of the family. as if i'm ever going to call you or anyone else in your family ever again. i wasn't hoping for much, just maybe a dinner invitation sometime in the next year when you are the only people i know when i'm alone in a new city. but apparently that was too much to ask for.
ps, fuck you and your self-righteous morality. so my dad didn't raise me jewish. at least he tought me that family was important.
all my love,
your un-neice
wow, i think that letter was longer than the conversation that insired it.
