Dear Child,
I hope you're happy with your choice to manipulate, coerce and then estrange when you failed to get your own way. If not, what did you expect to happen?
Remember, all choices have consequences. Relationships are reciprocal (*you put nothing in, you get nothing back*)
As a child you may remember our motto was to celebrate the good in you, to "punish the child, not the behaviour". But you are an adult now, who is unable to see anything positive in me or US.
In time perhaps you will too be able to celebrate the good and realise that no one is perfect. After all, you will have plenty of time to reflect this Christmas after estranging your entire family.
How do you suppose you are going to explain this to your own kids one day, why they had no family to love them and celebrate Christmas with them?
You are not the "reason for the season". So we will celebrate Christmas without you, with those who choose us. I wish you joy, I wish you peace, I wish you love. The one thing I will not do is reward your atrocious behaviour by chasing you down or actually trying to contact you.
May the New Year bring you insight and peace, love and harmony.
Your ever loving Mother.
