My aunt is back in the States. Mom got an email yesterday and a phone call today. For those who don't' know this is my father's sister and to say she's a handful would be an understatement. The last time she was here I wrote a blog post which you can find here.My mom has already tried to feel me out to see if I'll go see her and I've already declined. Multiple times. I just re-read my post from the last time she was here and really I feel no inclination to see her. She is a master of manipulations and I refuse to be manipulated anymore. Can't do it if I don't show up.
She's here for something. It's not to connect as a family. It's because she wants something. And since the last time I saw her there as been no communication. None. Except in the signing of legal papers. Through lawyers. Why randomly show up? Why even bother? It's not like she makes any effort in the years in between her random last minute pop ups. Frankly it's annoying. And if she's here for what I think she's here for, she needs to talk with Ady, because I have vowed to leave the decision making on this particular issue to her. Ady is not here. Ady is in France. Where my aunt came from. Which my aunt knows about. Uber manipulation. ugh.
Garren has volunteered to go with mom. Best fiance EVER. (I think that is the first time I wrote/said fiance regarding Garren!) Totally offering support to mom when I just can't deal. And apparently Erik's willing to go if he's back in town in time. He's curious about the legend that is my aunt. I think mom should take both of her future sons-in-law. They can't be manipulated and will only defend mom and us. The woman would probably still find some way to have it work to her advantage. sigh.
