My parents are very right wing conservative evangelical Christians. They do not approve of me, since I am a transgender woman.

I was always the ‘failed’ eldest child..the one who let them down, the one who graduated from college late instead of at 21. I accepted it. However, their resentment towards me spilled over onto my spouse and my son. Over they years, we noticed the lack of phone calls or gifts for their grandson…our son James…and the rare phone calls or visits while they would spend weeks with my far religious right wing sister and her family in Florida.

They refuse to talk to my spouse at all, generally.

They would deny in a heartbeat anything was wrong, of course. Well, I’m a problem for my un-Godly lifestyle (whatever the hell that means) but of course they don’t have a problem with my family. They’re just busy and besides, I’m being over sensitive, right?

My sons 17th birthday was 5 days ago. No call, no card. They spent two weeks with my sister and her family to see their eldest granddaughter graduate from high school last month. By our count over the years, they spend 7 days with my sister for every one day they spend with us.

Today, my brother told me my sister is now executor of their will and I have been disinherited. My family and I have been stipulated to receive nothing when they pass.

They don’t have the fucking guts to tell me to my face. Not even a phone call. This happened a couple of years ago, from what I can gather. I just found out today. My ‘Christian’ parents can fucking ignore their own grandson, ignore and denigrate my spouse and then call me on the phone once every three months to exchange banal pleasantries and they cannot fucking admit they hate my guts and want nothing to do with me and my family

The last time I talked to my dad, he mentioned they had Fox News on. They have just bought a house in Texas because they were tired of liberal California and too many Mexicans..or something to that effect. They want their crazy straight from the tap.

This happened today, and I’m not in the best of moods tonight, lizards. Sorry, but I needed to get this off of me right now.
