In Baltimore

So we came to Baltimore, together. We're here to visit with his Grandmother, who has brain cancer and isn't doing so well. While I'm here I want to do some sight seeing, especially in D.C. so I can see the monuments, and the White House, and all that fun stuff.

Things have been pretty good between us. His family is awesome. Well, most of his family anyway. I wish that I could say his Mother and Step-Father were half as awesome as his Father and Step-Mother. It would have been nice if they had at least given me half a chance before making up their minds about me.

There's been a few things that have popped up while we're here that have kind of bugged me. Like when I received a text message from a close family friend that asked if I was going to leave him here and he got all upset about it, saying that person doesn't know him, and that it wasn't a nice thing to say. I tried to explain to him that it's a close family friend that knows about what happened between us, and was just making a smart-ass comment. He reiterated that it wasn't a nice thing to say, at which point I snapped and remarked that what he did wasn't a nice thing to do to me. It just kind seemed like he didn't really get it. He's been getting overly jealous of people that he knows I'm good friends with, nothing more. We had talked about it before coming here, when we thought I was still going to be going to Vegas. We had agreed that until I left for Vegas that I wouldn't spend so much time talking to them, and that I would be paying him more attention so it was easier for him to accept that I would be going to Vegas without him. Then the plan changed and we both came to Baltimore. Somehow he expected the plan to stay the same. I haven't really been talking to them that much, but when I do send or receive the occasional text message he gets all moody and jealous. And it's honestly just a little too much for me to deal with at times. But I'm here in Baltimore to enjoy myself and get myself away from all of that, so I am trying like hell to ignore it and relax and just enjoy my little "vacation".

Then he's been pressuring me for sex while we're here, which I am NOT comfortable with AT ALL. We're staying in his step-mom and dad's house, sleeping on his brothers bed, in a tiny little house, with no doors on the bedrooms. And he wants to have sex with his little brother asleep in the next room and his parents in the next room over. I'm NOT comfortable with that at all, and he doesn't seem to get it. It annoys me. (Don't get me wrong, this is very lovely home!! It's just a lot smaller than what I'm used to in Alaska. Then again, we don't have even half he population of Baltimore, and we have a lot more land area, so we don't have the need to pack people in!)

I dunno. I just wanna make it through this week without losing my mind, or going off on him. Please let me make it.

Hi Tammy. Too bad we were never given the opportunity to form an opinion about you. If JD told you we hated you it was just another lie. The story from JD, that we were told last Friday night, was that the whole point to coming to Baltimore was to see has step-grandmother and say good bye. We told he we'd pay for him to come out and that if the goal was to say goodbye to grandma then that's all that really needed to happen. We suggested that you both come out some other time when you had your money problem straightened out. That's it. We didn't say we disliked you at all. JD told us you guys would be coming over on Tuesday night to meet you. You guys didn't show up and he didn't call. Kyle and especially Allison were heartbroken. We were pissed... but we're used to JD breaking his word. You've experienced it, so you understand. Like us, you may have to get used to it. Again, I'm sorry you feel we hate you--especially since we've not said that. We don't form opinions without meeting someone. I do have to tell you something that's very ironic. All Joe's life we supported him, stood by him when his dad shit on him--made his promises to show up at his concerts and all and never did, threw him out of the house and told him (at 6) that he didn't want him over again, etc. We chose to remain in Baltimore county so he could go to Carver. We even went through family counseling to help all of us to get along better. And he's come to Baltimore and, I assume, lies about planning on coming to visit us. I'm wondering if he even mentioned to you his plans to visit on Tuesday night? I'm just really tired of JD's talking out of both sides of his mouth... You should look out for that too. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet you and I wish you luck. You'll need it. John
