Before everything changed, Emily Porter was a successful lawyer. She was an outspoken progressive living in deep-red Tennessee. Perhaps above all, she was an intensely loving single mother to her three kids. She had a special bond with Adam, her youngest: When his older sisters moved out, the two of them would care for the animals on their small farm, watch Jeopardy and Lost, and, once a month, treat themselves to dinner at a fancy restaurant, where they’d try everything on the tasting menu. Adam decided that he, too, would go into law; he called Emily his “hero.”
Just a handful of years later, she was emailing him demanding that he “shed my DNA” and warning: “PAIN IS COMING FOR YOU, AND YOUR BELOVED CHINA JOE, FRAUD OBAMA AND HIS MAN WIFE MICHAEL.”
** THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID! LOL
What do you do? Well, apparently like my whackadoodle liberal sister, you cut those people out of your life...and that's exactly what she did. She was like a second mother to me, better than our real mother...but I guess all of that family history, and what I thought was genuine emotion, didn't mean what I thought it meant all of those decades.
As I mentioned a short while ago in another thread...I'm working on forgiveness. But I will never afford, or extend to her, any trust whatsoever for the rest of our lives. She burned that bridge...NOT me.
My best friend died of a heart attack almost a year ago. We were arguing over Covid. I will forgive but I will never forget. I miss my buddy. Hopefully you can mend the bridges between you and your sister. Life is short and EVERYONE makes mistakes. Peace and love.
