Anyone's Ears Burning?

Imagine my surprise to receive a phone call from The Aunt yesturday. The initial shock, due of course to the fact that neither her or The Uncle have called me directly...at least since August. The real kicker...we had gotten into a very passionate and emotional discussion about the very fallout with The A&U that very day. My rage of course--an all time high. So I ignored call numero uno. (Gotta love caller ID.) A little bummer though--I answered call 2, unaware of the person on the other end of the line. Shit. So, the discussion continued. It's not that I'm still mad at the initial cause of the problems. I'm mad (hurt, I think, as well) at the blatant denial that there is a problem. They can both excuse it away, but it didn't come out of thin air. And if it meant nothing to them, that just demonstrates my point...it means something to me and whether they acknowledge that or not, it's still there. We tabled the dicussion, The A and me, until Wednesday, with all parties. It should be interesting. Fiery. But interesting.
