Dear Mom,
 
Please lets start over. We tried to talk to you since September, but every time you ignore us. It takes weeks for you to answer, and then you start talking about something else instead of what we were talking about.
 
If you don’t want to send the money because it is so important to you, okay up to you, you win and so keep your money. This is not some business deal but you bargain with your own children over paying for college and phone numbers. But you still need to talk to us.
 
We will answer your questions first and then we still want answers to our questions to you.
 
Why doesn’t Brenden want to talk to you? The reason Brenden doesn’t want to talk to you is because you really hurt him with everything you did. He doesn’t trust you and he wants you to work things out with me and Dad before he is ready to talk to you again.
 
You want to know all about school? We have a lot more important things to talk about first, like what you did to us, why you used a fake marriage to try to take us away from Dad, why you still won’t talk to Dad and make a settlement, and why you lie to us all the time and won’t answer our emails. You are still our Mom so we are still a family even if you don’t like it, so you have to answer us. I am angry at you and even the judge in California said I have a right to be angry, it is normal in a family. It is your responsibility as our mother to do something about it instead of leaving it on your children, and arguing with us like you are a child too.
 
You say all you can do is just work all the time because you are sad because you miss us and think about us. Are we supposed to feel sorry for you? Do you really think we believe that?  Because there are so many things you could do, you started it all and you try to do everything you can to stay away from us. You write to us like we are stupid little kids, but your behavior doesn’t match your words, so that is why we don’t believe you.
 
You ask if Dad knows you sent money to our grandpa’s account to help me with school last year? Of course he knows, who do you think has taken care of us all these years for everything we need, because you did nothing. Do you think that little bit for school makes up for everything you took from us?
 
You say I tried to blackmail you? I don’t even know what you mean. You bargain with us your own children using money and it’s okay, and then when we make conditions back to you it is blackmail? You try to get us to come to Bali by offering us money, but why do you want us in Bali? There are so many ways we could talk in California or Jakarta. You even blackmail us that you won’t talk to us unless we come to Bali first. We don’t trust you or your family or friends in Bali.  Bibi Suti and Nerthi and the rest of your family don’t treat us like family, no one ever tried to talk to us or help us all these years. Only Putu and Dewi ever tried to talk to us, and I’ll bet they don’t know what you and Suti really did.
 
Mom, everything isn’t always about money. We aren’t going to come to Bali until you can show us some reason we should believe and trust you.
 
You said you will come to L.A. when the time is right but we know you weren’t being honest with us. We know you can’t come to California because of all your court problems because you ignored all the court orders to meet with us and Dad and to pay child support.
 
If you want to meet us, we can meet in Jakarta or Singapore.  You travel all over the world except California, so you can meet us anywhere but not Bali.
 
Before that we agree to talk on Skype. I will set up a Skype account. What is your Skype number?  If you think we want to hear you talk about how much Mommy and the doggies miss us, we don’t. We want some answers and we want the truth. If you really love us, you can prove it by talking to us and telling us the truth.
 
Do you agree?
 
Sincerely, Sean
