My Long Lost Cousin

I haven't spoken to my mom or anyone in her family for about twenty years. This was not my choice. My dad had custody of me and my mom had visitation rights so I saw her every other weekend. The problem I had with her was that she is a paranoid pschytzophrenic. She used to tell me that she was pregnant with Jesus Christ's baby and that people were trying to kill her. When I was sixteen she wrote me a letter during one of her paranoid delusions and told me that people were trying to killer and it wouldn't be safe for me to visit her anymore. The wrest of her family just sorta fell by the wayside. I hadn't spoken to any of them in roughly twenty years. Last week a cousin found me and sent me an e-mail. That's how I found out that my crazy mother disappeared in Los Vegas eight years ago and that my grandparents died. One cousin is on his second wife and another is married with a baby. I missed a lot in the twenty years that we haven't been speaking. The weird thing is I didn't choose for this to happen. It's just how things ended up. I'm still e-mailing with my long lost cousin. Hopefully someday I'll meet her in person.
