Yet another slice in the flesh…
So my fascist extremist parents who would cut their own child completely out of their lives because he has differing political views have decided to divest themselves of visual reminders of said son. I found a box on my doorstep today from ‘mother’ addressed to my daughter, so being unsure of whether it would be safe to give to her without previewing it first given the situation, I opened it. It said “photos” on the outside, but for such a large box? It contained photos taken from albums, pictures from off the walls, even duplicate pictures. I’m pretty up on ‘their’ photo inventory, and there was only one set not accounted for. I wonder if my sister took it? So now that I’ve taken out the few photos I don’t want from the mass, what to do? Do I present it to my daughter with the enclosed note? (it was quite benign, luckily) I’m holding on to it for the moment. I hate the idea of fulfilling a request of my ‘parents’, but it is not an evil one, so, perhaps one day, when I’m in an extraordinarily good mood, I’ll pull that box down.
