LJL. Mom emails me: she hasn't seen me in 1yr+, asks if I'll go to her bday
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 2nd, 2016 6:50 PM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker Not a huge celebration (she's never had one, could never have afforded one). She doesn't have many friends in the US.
Should I just reply: why don't you celebrate it with Officer Jones, since you're so fond of calling them?
But she still sends me misc money every now & then, and I still need her tax returns. |

Btw, if you're really a biglaw bro, is SecReg a hard course to take?
Either sheer difficulty or the fact that the class roster seems stacked with V5 bros. |

Date: February 2nd, 2016 6:59 PM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker Honestly, the last time I spent more than 20mins with her was when I repeatedly told her she couldn't come to my graduation, ruining her somewhat justified expectations.
And that was years ago. Since then, I surprised her with an in-person visit once (needed something, then hightailed it out of there in <5mins while she was in tears at her workplace, LJL).
And an email every 2-3months, never initiated. Always in reply to her email saying something like "I just bank transferred $500 into your bank account, please reply to confirm that you got it & that account is still yours (since we haven't spoken in so long."
I reply "Got it. Thank." Then radio silence until the next one.
Hope she enjoys Officer Jones's company without me being there. |

So whatever business Officer Jones has, s/he can discuss it with my mom. They like each other more than either likes me.
They've also been in more frequent contact with each other than either has been with me in the last 3+yrs, ljl. |

|
Date: February 3rd, 2016 3:49 AM Author: Talented slap-happy antidepressant drug Lol I don't know jack shit about securities regulations. My advice though is if you need straight As and aren't looking for a clerkship is to take all bullshit classes. Fuck the people who say you need to take one hard class. I am a 5th year and regularly interview law students. The final interview partner NEVER asks for their transcripts and doesn't even read their resumes.
Fuck off. |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2016 4:00 AM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker My classes are mostly BS this semester. I avoided all the nonBS classes (Admin, Con Law, anything that would seem remotely useful to a DC career).
But course offerings are slimmer than I had thought, and I'd be bored to death if I had to sit through eg "Inner City Poverty."
SecReg is somewhat relevant to my interests, but my primary concern is that, as you pointed out, my having not mastered the art of LS exam taking by now will bite me in the ass esp given the class roster. |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2016 4:03 AM Author: Talented slap-happy antidepressant drug Your interests are irrelevant. Nobody is interested in the law.
You will zone out just as hard in securities regulations as you will in inner city poverty race and gender law. Guess which you are getting an A in and which you are getting a B- in? |

Date: February 3rd, 2016 4:07 AM Author: Talented slap-happy antidepressant drug Just give up. You are a dumb.

|
Date: February 3rd, 2016 4:09 AM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker I can bring myself to psychostudy for SecReg (as I have done for the past 10+ hrs).
Last semester, a class whose class sessions made me zone out, but whose content were at least amenable to my psychostudy sessions--I did well in that class.
Another class's in-class discussions etc were more lively but I could not for the life of me bring myself to read the textbook more than cursorily, thinking I can "just make it up," or "I already know what I need to know." |

Date: February 3rd, 2016 4:13 AM Author: Talented slap-happy antidepressant drug This is turning into masturbation.
You don't need this class.
You need an A.
You are in law school where most classes are curved.
It doesn't matter how much you study. You either have it or you don't. You don't. |

|
Date: February 11th, 2016 12:05 PM Author: lemon vigorous center I had a bad mother as well. Selfish and mentally ill with a drug problem. She died of an overdose. I avoided talking to her much because she caused problems. I regret that immensely. It wasn't always bad. The night before she died, she called, and I didn't pick up. She left a voicemail where she sounded sad and was upset we no longer had a strong connection. This was several years ago, and I still have it on my phone. It is fucked up. You should visit on her birthday. |
|
Date: February 11th, 2016 12:16 PM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker My mom isn't objectively as bad as that: no drugs, alcohol. By all accounts a hard worker who made something (not much) but something despite having no college degree & barely speaking Engrish.
But her preferred method of dispute resolution, which she employed over and over, was calling Officer Jones. Once she did that, I'd be like "ok enjoy chatting with them. I'm going to a friend's house to play Playstation. I'd give you the friend's name and address, but...sorry, just slipped my mind." Then I'd come back when the dust settled.
At the time, she was MAF that infancy is an absolute defense, even if her allegations were true.
So my preferred method of communication with her is: NO communication.
She left me a voicemail after I disinvited her from college graduation despite "promising" her she can come, only to tell her "sorry ma, traded your tix for a Snickers bar." I felt bad as I did it, but I haven't since. What I say to her when she tries to say "let bygones be bygones" is "well if you didn't want this to happen, you should have thought about this before."
But let me give you an update: my mom's bday has since passed, and I still haven't replied to her email essentially begging me to go see her for the first time in years. In fact, I haven't even logged into the throwaway email I created just for her so she doesn't know my real email, and that I'll delete once I no longer need her tax returns.
Instead, I'm just going to reply in a few weeks: "Tax Return?"<--and she thinks I need it because it qualifies me for a "lower interest rate," instead of the coming year's financial aid which she's still in the dark about. For all she knows I'm working on a coal mine in Ohio.
Then it's either k thnx bye or "you don't want to give it to me unless I see you? nbd. Enjoy Officer Jones's company." |
|
Date: February 11th, 2016 12:24 PM Author: lemon vigorous center I know it feels good and just to see your mother reap what she has sown. But years from now you will have regrets. It is hard to accept that now, and had someone given me this advice I would have disregarded it. But that is how it is. It is important to play your cards correctly the first time around, since there is no turning back the clock. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3116614&forum_id=2#29804079) |

Date: February 11th, 2016 12:34 PM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker "But that is how it is. It is important to play your cards correctly the first time around, since there is no turning back the clock."
Same goes for her. I'm sure you're right that years later I'll regret totally severing ties with ALL family, but I'll deal with that regret when the time comes.
Right now, she can wallow knowing that she could have had kids who do the normal routine: off to college, but still come back for breaks. Snap pictures at their graduation. In their mid20s, visit for Thanksgiving/Bdays/etc. Hear "mom, I'd like you to meet Elizabeth." etc.
But no, *she* threw that away, so why should I be saddled with guilt & regret for her choices? She can live out her barren years alone, with a lifelong of regrets (if I were to take a step back as a neutral observer, I can acknowledge & maybe even sympathize that she hasn't had it easier) |

|
Date: February 11th, 2016 12:56 PM Author: ultramarine son of senegal boistinker On several occasions, she alleged that altercations had occurred within the house.
But a few times, she'd hold up the phone just as a threat. Like "clean your room or I'm calling the cops." To which I'd say "ljl, I was gonna clean it anyway after I find [item], but if you're gonna use threats like that, I'm going to Homer Simpson's house to play Playstation."
When I came back, she had cleaned it herself. And this was when infancy was still an absolute defense, so nothing could have come out of that, but I don't enjoy chatting with O-Jones while apparently she does.
Statute of Limitations: the ProsBros needed to have commenced prosecution/issued a warrant within X years since the most recent allegation (which was coincidentally the last time I spoke to her face-to-face). X years have lapsed, but no warrant no nothing. And they gave up on reasonable diligence to ascertain my location, so tough luck.
"Why should I tell you, mother, where I am, where I'm working? How do I know you won't pass it on to Officer Jones? OK fine, I'm in Canton, Ohio."
LJL, I still use the "why should I say anything to you/reveal information as to 'how I've been', how do I know you won't pass it along to Officer Jones" line to dodge all her questions. I can almost hear her crying on the phone. |
