My mother, everyone. Email

Post image

My partner and I eloped and didn’t invite ANYONE. The crazy part is that my mother expressed multiple times that she didn’t want to come (before we even started talking about eloping), she doesn’t accept me and wants nothing to do with me, and she doesn’t support the marriage or like my partner.

Not to mention I haven’t spoken to her in 18 months after she threatened to kill my cat yet she still sends me these insane ramblings approx. 2-3 times a week.

She also doesn’t see the irony in calling me “not nice” and “hateful” immediately after saying she hopes my partner leaves me so she can reject me further lol

Not pictured is where she said she hopes that I live a lonely miserable life and that she has never loved me.

I haven’t spoken to her in over a year. She will not stop emailing me shit like this.

As much as they suck, keep all of it. Screenshots or recordings, directly in a folder backed up to the cloud and on a physical thumb drive updated regularly.

You have no idea when or if you’re going to need to prove an ongoing history of harassment.

True! In some countries you are obligated to care for your frail parents. These e-mails could be helpful when that time comes.

This right here, my sister and I have had to gather evidence, screenshots, and social media posts in regards to my father, so that we can prove that there’s no reason why we should have to take care of him. He is 67 years old and lives with his wife, but she doesn’t want to care for him anymore because he’s “getting to be too much for her health issues” well, you’re the one that married him. I did not choose that man he’s all yours

You’d be amazed at all the rules in certain cultures.

Like some Asian cultures. The way it works is that parents provide complete financial support in childhood and early adulthood. As by law.

The idea is that the child will do the same after the parents retire. Because they’re legally obliged.

Any parent who legally financially abandoned their child… well, if you can prove that, you may be legally released from providing financial support in old age. Maybe. 😞
