RT: #OpenLetter: Dear grandma and grandpa, dudes - you guys totally sucked

Apr 20

WOOAHH!! Thank you guys so much for the comments, tweets, and emails regarding #openletter: Dear grandma and grandpa, dudes you guys totally sucked.

Totally made my life this morning responding to 'em, so thanks a heap!!!! Dudes, both of my parents who LIVED it were captivated. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. and the GREATEST compliment you can give a storyteller.

Wanted to just go over a couple of questions and stuff that I got that I didn't really answer in the post ...

My grandmother is in fact still alive, but now has dementia. She and I very literally had no relationship, at all, ever. I'm not at the point of being apathetic towards her, since clearly after writing that post I recognized that I still have anger and confusion, but I am at peace in realizing that there is nothing that can be done in this life about that. I literally have to let it go - her mind is gone. So even if she were to accept the 26 year old version of me, there would be no correlation to the person that would stand before her to the 6 year old she hurt. I just have to let go let god.

She is though quite ill. Last time I heard she was in hospice. So if my father goes to her funeral, I will go to support my dad. To be honest though, he wants nothing to do with her too. Really really really sad to think that this woman gave birth to him, and there's nothing. I don't know how my dad deals with it to be honest with you. My parents and I have had our differences since starting this site ... clearly ... but I knew in my heart if I held them in a place of unconditional love, they would come around once they saw the success that I knew I could create from the happiness I was feeling. Your parents will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS want the best for you, but show me the parents that say, hey daughter - good job on living in your car and not having money for a year. We totally think you're bitchin' hahaha, and I will show you two parents that need to lay off the crack.

But like I said, very literally my grandma and I have nothing - at all - ever. Neither here nor there. Just releasing.

Oh, and one more thing ... my dads sister is a dentist ... and I do remember at my grandfather's wake she came up to me and said that if I wanted to pursue a career in entertainment that I would need to have my teeth whitened. No dudes, like literally - this is at my GRANDFATHER'S WAKE!!!! Funny now since literally people ask me all the time about my teeth, and their whiteness. I very literally do not bleach them ... at all ... ever. I have sensitive teeth. So yeah, apparently I grew out of that dear old wicked bitch. See this is me ...
