Angry

Angry

I'm not just mad, I'm Angry.

Here's the story:
My father died when I was 11. As far as I know, no one from his family ever tried to contact me or my family. No condolences. Nothing. Then, a few years ago, my father's brother contact me for my address. He was forced to by a court order as I am a "legal heir" to my grandmother. When he contacted me, he told me she was going into a home. I promptly asked for her address. I wanted to send her a card. He said he would give it to me and never did.

I get nothing from them but a legal letter every year detailing my grandmother's expenses. But not her address. I figured he didn't want me to contact her, and though I could push the point and demand it, I never have.

Then on Saturday I received a Christmas card. I want to burn it. I want to burn them. How DARE they use my address in such a fashion? How DARE they feel the right to send me a Christmas card when they refused to give me my grandmother's address, tell me where she is or if she is even okay? I am so angry. And ANGRY is the only word to describe it. Who do they think they are? Loving family that has NEVER contacted me except when they were court ordered to?

I don't know what to do with these feelings. I want to write them back and request that they never send me anything EVER again. I want to rant at them and tell them they are HORRIBLE people.

But mostly I just want my dad for the holidays.
