Personal Narrative: A Letter To Emily

So I read those letters that you wrote. I thought about just letting it go and not provoking anything but I figure you deserve a response, so here it goes. While I certainly don't agree with some of the claims you made in my letter, I understand and respect your opinion. And for a second, I thought I was an asshole and maybe what I did was wrong. Perhaps just cutting you off was a bit harsh. But then I read the letter to Emily. And I now I don't feel bad at all. Here's why; you have absolutely zero right to EVER speak about my family in a negative manner. This Is a boundary that should never have been crossed. Anyone who really knows me knows that I stand up for my family first and without exception. My family was nothing but good to you. If

you have a problem I would expect such a mature person to come to me and say so. My sister is a saint in the making and I told her I didn't want her to be hanging around you because it was awkward for me and I believed it would cause issues. Guess what, here we are. So, since you think I'm a narcissistic asshole I'll go ahead and tell you how I really feel. I left you because I knew the relationship wasn't right for me. I spoke to Will, John, and my family about it before I did anything and came to a conclusion that best suited my needs. I don't need any other reason than it's not what's best for me or my family to cut someone from my life. Nobody gets to assume my feelings or tell me I was wrong for thinking about my interests first. And guess what, my sister, who you were trying so hard to be there for is devastated that you'd say those things about her. You've hurt her now more than ever. I hadn't given a thought about our relationship since probably 4 months ago when I ended it for good. So my suggestion to you, I had better NEVER see anything written or hear anything said about my family again. In fact, if you have a problem you can come to me about it. I expect you to respect the boundary I have set. You claim to be my "lost friend" but now you've earned yourself a spot as "never truly was a friend" to my family especially.
