Do me a favor



Do me a favor

Quit posting about your mom


We’ve all moved on

If you need closure

I understand

But please, not on a social site


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


I hear a lot of attack

You were not there

Her notes are purely subjective

You were way too young to understand


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


She was sick and homeless

She could have picked herself up by her own bootstraps

She could have lived off government assistance

Somehow her problems became your dad’s fault in her God forsaken mind


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


She refused help from us

She doesn’t get a free get-out-of-jail card

I don’t care how sick or homeless she was

No amount of help would have been enough for her


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


I can’t let you beat up your dad so badly

He is hurt

He’s your dad

And to not allow your kids to know him is hurtful


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


Why haven’t you reached out to him?

Who knows how long he’ll be around

There will be regret if you don’t when he’s dead

We are family damnit


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


We tried to help her

We tried to get her help

She made excuses

We then refused to enable her illness


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d


If she would have accepted help

She would not have been homeless and died alone

That was her choice

I’m not being mean; I’m just being real


Do me a favor

Learn to r/e/a/d
