“Hey There, what a random message. Unfortunately I can’t forget this chat ever happened, because I know which side of history I am standing on.
For future reference, if you don’t want to stand boldly behind the words you are saying when they are sent to the wrong person, you might want to rethink saying them to anyone.”

To my Sister in Law; I appreciate her recent attempts to rebuild after she neglected me for years, and I did enjoy our three recent conversations, but it’s just a no because she’s a Fox News watcher and Trump Supporter.

“I have enjoyed our recent conversations, but I need to let you know that I have come to the conclusion that our relationship is unable to be repaired for several reasons. I appreciate the fact that you have tried and because of that I felt I owed you the respect of letting you know my decision instead of simply ghosting you. I wish you all the best.”
