When Mom says do not talk to her ever again, she doesn't want to see you

don't blow up my phone for a month

then when I won't answer

Text my brother's wife (no idea how she got her number but probs Alyssa is known for her job)

with

"hey I know i'm probably going to regret asking you thins. But do you have any knowledge or insight as to why your mother has decided she never wants to speak to me again or are you a disinterested party?? I just wondered + thought you might know what's wrong this time since you're up there I'm not. I tried to be nice + give her alcohol + money but

it seemed to backfire this time...(whoa. guess that makes me an enabler...). Love anyway, aunt Dottie (apparently your mom's new "arch enemy")"

like

fuck off

just fuck off forever

hope she doesn't come for another surprise visit

give an alcoholic / problem drinker alcohol money...

WOOOOOW

"to be nice + give her alcohol + money" WOW

literally the only thing she could think of to change the situation

apologize? listen at all? what's that?

and, like, bringing it up like "look, I did SO MUCH, I can't understand why it didn't work, surely everyone will agree"

nooooooooope

not shocked

remain strong
