You have to understand, it’s just not how my family works. We don’t stay where we aren’t wanted. Grandma had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with me, and if somebody wants nothing to do with you, you leave. We are a family that divorces quietly and without contest. If someone says they are done with us, we take them at their word. But the corollary to that, I suppose, is that we return just as quickly and with just as little fanfare.
