No thanks....

This is an email I wrote to a cousin, whose family I have discovered I want nothing to do with.  Those issues involve race, class, morals and ethics, which could be a best selling book.  She found me on Facebook -- again.  I had to remind her of my wishes.

Dear Renelita,

Please respect that I wish not to have contact with you and your family.

When I found out certain things -- some of which I knew, some I didn't -- I decided I cannot have that kind of drama in my life.  I have too much in my professional life, I do not need it in my personal life.  Which means I do not wish to have contact with you or your family.

I owe it to my mother -- God rest her soul in heaven -- to meet and get to know you.  But I do not want to be hurt or used like she was when she was alive.  My life is full of hurt and pain, which I do not wish to be subject to anymore.  I want to be happy, and having contact with you will not enhance my happiness.

Thank you.  Please do not contact me anymore.
