Oh, Page 288 is a fun read. Aunt Tammie on Amber never reaching out to her cancer-ridden mother in prison:
Why won't Amber write her?
- I honestly don't know the real answer, puzzles my mind. For so long she would talk about doing anything to talk with her mom , have a relationship with her etc... when she was homeless !
- Then I find my sister , I put them back in contact .. ( story in itself) and Amber would make my Sister feel so bad and guilty or ask questions repeatedly that my sister would tell her she had no answers to herself , it caused my sister to continue talking to me and not Amber as often . Amber would get jealous and I would try and explain why. We would try another time and Amber would do the same thing over and over , it's like she can't help self sabotage.
- At one point , I believe during the time she was moving she used the excuse of not having paper or a pen ( you guys would love that text receipt ) I even said I'm sure her job wouldn't mind giving her a piece of paper and a pen to write her mom if she couldn't bring herself to purchase the needed items , I even suggested starting off small .. a simple card " thinking of you " Love Amber .. guess she wasn't worth the 42 cents of postage
- It boggles my mind , it truly does
Restating the obvious- like everyone else here- but this visit doesn't seem like a healthy decision for either of them.
