So I thought this was amusing
I’ve received several emails from my mother since Saturday when this Myspace issue went down with my sister. That last one being the most amusing. She is apparently threatening to take me to court for “slander” because on my Myspace profile it states “I am no longer speaking to my mother.” I don’t mention names, and as far as I know, it’s not illegal to hate your mother, but WHATEVER.
The emails below for my amusement (I saved screenshots also)
Sent to me on September 17th 2006:
Crystal, it’s your mom. It won’t hurt you to talk to me. Life is too short to continue this hatred. For your sister’s sake, if for no one else…
Your sister reads everything you post about me. You aren’t going to influence your sisters feelings for me with your words, just as I’ll never influence her feelings for you. Any negativity you post on your page she reads. She’ll only get angry at you.
No one has been trying to spy on you through me. I didn’t even know you had a MySpace account until your sister told me you made one for her.
Whether you believe it or not, or care or not, this animosity you have toward me is only hurting you, and your sister. So why don’t you at least be cordial for her sake ok?
No matter how you feel about me, I still love you and always will.
your mom
A note about this email:
- My sister can’t read my posts because she is not friended on my personal myspace, and they are all private.
- I’ve never spoken ill of my mother in front of my sister. Oh I’ve been tempted to, in fact it wells up inside me sometimes, but I’ve never done it. Unlike my mother who does it constantly. Regardless, the email seems semi-cordial enough.
I repled with:
She doesn’t have access to read any of my posts. I have two myspace accounts, she only has access to my music one. I’m actually very careful not to say anything to influence her at all, because I feel that’s been done plenty over the years already. I encourage her to be independant and a free-thinker, that is all.
The same day she replied again:
Then give your sister credit for being able to think for herself. I can’t influence her to love me, just as you can’t influence her to hate me.
Don’t you think that if I can read your profiles in MySpace, both accounts, that she can too? Why do you need to post anything at all about me? Why can’t you just let it go? I’ve stayed away from you for a long time because you want that. I don’t interfere in your life at all anymore. By posting horrible things about me, and using me as a whipping post, shows me that I get under your skin. I don’t want to get under your skin. That doesn’t make me happy! If you don’t care about whether I’m alive or dead, you wouldn’t post anything at all. Just stop it.
Your sister is growing up and sees everything that’s going on. She knows how you feel because it eminates from you. I’d rather you act like I’m gone for good than keep talking about me to Stephanie, Patty, and the rest. It has to be eating you alive. This isn’t good. Your sister feels it too. Please stop doing this to her. You got what you wanted. You don’t need to keep trying to punish me through her with your hatred. Just stop talking about me altogether. Your indifference to me is better for her than your animosity. I don’t say anything about you one way or another. I have never posted anything about you on MySpace. She is my daughter too and I have rights as her mother just as you have rights as her sister. You are only hurting her by hating me.
Just stop, ok? For her sake. And I’d rather you spit in my face than be nice to me to my face, and try to slander me with your words later. Whatever I’ve done to you, however I’ve wronged you, I’m sorry, ok? Now let it go. How many times do I need to apologize to you? What will it take for you to stop holding this grudge? What?
- I like how she plays the victim here, but it’s what she’s been good at. She marries a psychopath that threatens to kill her kids and in court says that we’re attacking her.
- She does get under my skin when she pulls shit like this, but otherwise she is not in my life, and I don’t think about her. Which lately she’s been pretty good about till now.
- Again I DON’T talk about her, I have better things to do when my sister is visiting than to sit there and talk about this idiot woman. It’s the whole reason I started blogging back in 2001, so that when my sister is ready, all of this information is available to her.
I never replied to the last one, then I got THIS today, which was a big wtf:
Take all references about me or about your mother off of your profile. Do not blog about me either. I’m not going to play games with you Crystal. You want to continue your grudge against me, fine. Do so until the day I die. I’ll be out of your hair soon enough anyway. But don’t post anything about me into cyberspace. That will be considered slander and I will act accordingly.
Just remember that what goes around, comes around. I have done all I can and I now wipe my hands.
I dunno, maybe she thinks because she’s going to school for law that she can turn into one of those people that sue everyone for anything. But again, it’s my journal, all my myspace entries are private, all the archives on my regular journal are password protected. So show me whatcha got.
Btw, not replying to that one either. I’ve had enough of ignorant emails as a whole this month

[…] As I mentioned before, my mother has some issues, and is threatening me for putting “I no longer speak to my mother” in my Myspace profile. If I didn’t remove, there would be some sort of consequences. […]
