Shots Fired….

**EDITED: 11-Mar-2022 – DUE TO A SERIES OF EVENTS, I WAS FORCED UNDER DURRESS, TO AGREE TO REMOVE A CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS NAME FROM MY LIFE, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH WAS CHALLENGED AND USED TO BASICALLY THREATEN ME. NON COMPLIANCE MEANT  I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND MY MOTHER’S FUNERAL.**

February 22, 2022 – #findingVICKIE has apparently hit home, literally. While I still have no clue where my mother is or if she is really as ill as reported, I did receive a certified letter that indicates to me to have hit a soft spot. Before I tell you about this certified letter, let me indulge you on just how it came about.

I DUNNO HOW IT CAME ABOUT

Literally, that is the truth. While I admit to having tried to reach my brother, to talk about this drama that is being stirred up, I have not been successful. They managed to isolate themself, their family AND our mama so much so that it is like they are living off the grid. I don’t understand what harm it would be to actually TALK to me. I have done NOTHING to my brother, his family or our mama to warrant this behavior. Maybe I should have shown how big a set of balls I have and sent my own “no contact” letter to them after all the shit done to me. Why didn’t I ? Because life goes on…people shit on you and you get shit on more by your family than anyone else. God chose these people as my family soooo….there is a reason. There is a reason why I am sitting here fuming over the only contact I have had with my brother, since December 26, 2021 when they threw me off their property when I asked about our mama.

Today, I signed for a letter that was attempted to be delivered on Saturday, February 19, 2022. I saw it was from Seneca, SC and having no cause NOT to sign for it there was no hesitation. I had no clue who it was from so of course for all I knew it could have been an answer to my questions. I should have asked to see the return address, I guess, before I signed, though I would have no reason not so sign for it. OH WELL….I got it!! I went on to work and an hour +/- later, I decided to open the letter. This is why I am now typing this blog!

I am absolutely fuming!! It is a ‘warning’ letter, typed in all caps in a horrible almost elementary font and notarized. It looks like something snagged off the internet. It is essentially warning me and my “affiliates” against attempting any contact with my brother, his spouse, his kids and our MAMA. If I violate this warning there will be ‘criminal charges and/or restraining order filed’.

OK.. warning…inner redneck about to come out.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!??? I have called 2 times in 3 months, and gotten no answer. I sent 2 emails, end of December and end of January without an answer. I have seen/spoken to my brother one time, December 26, 2021, where I was thrown off the property with no answers. NOW — I am being threatened with ‘ciminial charges and/or restraining order‘. OH HELL NO!!! Essentially, according to an attorney, this is customary when someone is planning on filing harrassment charges against someone. It is sort of a scare tactic if you will that buys the complaining party some time to gather information and make an attempt to resolve this matter without the courts involvement. I mean, honestly, if I were a lawyer or judge I wouldn’t want to filter through the sibling squabbles like this. Sadly, my brother has no grounds for ANY lawsuit against me. I am not demanding anything except to be given the assurance that mama is being cared for PROPERLY. I know what daddy wanted for mama.

Sadly, I have read this paper like…5 times. Each time I get even madder than the last. It even mentioned contact forbidden via “pager, email, mail, blog or social media”. Now, folks…but do they even make pagers anymore? Also, I dunno about you, but how does one use a blog to contact someone? I mean, I have a right to share my side of the story when things involve me and if anyone shares or responds it is on them, I am not making anyone do anything. Hell, if anything I have been holding people back from getting involved. I have had offers from people to do some snooping on my behalf and I told them no thank you. I have been sitting over 300 miles away, wondering day in and day out if my mama is even really sick? Wondering if my brother is even aware of their actions? Maybe mama is telling my brother what to do and getting rewarded? I say that because it has been done in the past…I won’t digress into that pandora’s box.

I decided to do a quick search about a “no contact letter”. It is baffling to me to learn this letter even exists. One blog that caught my attention was written in 2020. Reading about what causes sibling estrangement is rather enlightening and does not fit this situation. What bother’s me the most is that the commonality of all the articles which refer to the recepient of this type of letter as a “narcissist”. I AM FAR FROM A NARCISSIST! If anything, maybe I should have been the one to have sent this letter many years ago. I AM FAR FROM A NARCISSIST!

My next move is still up in the air. For the record, I am not scared…I *am* infuriated.
