My parents have always been sort-of obtuse and rather selfish, and we "had it out" (huge fight) in April of this year, and I cut them out of my life (they live out of state, so it was easy). It's a family tradition ... I have two older brothers who did the same thing, 16 and 10 years ago, respectively - none of us has seen or heard from them in that time... but I digress.
HERE'S MY QUESTION:
I got a letter in the mail today from my father, addressed to my 7-year-old daughter (whose name he has previously not known how to spell correctly).
Should I stamp it "REFUSED - RETURN TO SENDER"? Or just let her have it?
I'm not going to "re-kindle" any kind of relationship with my father or stepmother (mother's been dead for 25 years) ... I feel more at peace than at any other time in my life. My wife's parents are so much better to my daughter than my parents have ever thought of being, so it's not like she can't get along without MY folks.
Suggestions?
