All rants are more than welcome. Feel free and no worries about cursing or anything, actually didn't know bollocks was a curse word, so in a way your helping build my vocabulary! Just trying to lighten you up a bit, I certainly understand how you must feel. I totally get how them sending you less is more hurtful, you don't seem ungrateful to me. Sometimes relatives can be so very aggravating!! When I was little my mother's mother called us and she was talking to my older brother ( her favorite one) and when she was done with him and he handed the phone to me she just hung up, waited for me to speak and then hung up one me. Would have been less hurtful to just say she didn't want to talk to me. Not comparing evil grandparents , I don't even think she is evil, sometimes it just helps to hear someone relate. And I can totally relate! I'm sure it's nothing you did. Try to forgive them for being so very blind.
