Subject: Re: Our lives
Please conference me in to the meeting tomorrow as well. I also agree that these matters should be discussed when
things have calmed down so as not to make more decisions based on triggers and emotional responses. But if there is a
meeting tomorrow then I would like to be on the call too.
I do not wish to discuss the details of thursday night either for the time being.
I'm not feeling well either due to the events of the past few days and I have a lot of responsibility and my kids who are
dependent on me to be healthy, so I need to do what I can to further protect myself from more distress.
Try to rest and take care of yourself.

decisions under more calm conditions, so as not to make more emotional decisions. However, if you feel we must
discuss it so urgently, then yes, please conference me in tomorrow.

when gonca said ( I love black people,) zeynep criticized her for that. I tried to interfere you yelled at me and dismissed
me with you r hand and told me I don't get it.
>> There was nothing wrong in my view to utter the sentence that she wished to be with likeminded people. I myself
totally agree on that . Look what happens even in a family when sometimes people don't agree.
>> I want to leave this whole ideological discussion aside.everyone is free how they think.
>> But what disturbed me deeply that night you both made her to be a n anti gay, anti black and questioned her "core"
values.
>> I know that because I asked her to send me all her and your texts. And I saw in her texts,all she was trying to was to
explain to you both , she is not the bigoted and antigay, black and insensitive person you made her to be. And all that
while Bahar you yelling and she was trying to keep calm. When you dismissed me i went to the other room and heard
everything. Had my hearing aids on.
>> Accusing her of the things she is not and that from both of her sisters with 2 against one was not fair.
>> Yes you sort of apologized leaving the caveat that you are sorry she is hurt but still wrong. Upon which you answered
her "core" values are not right. That is very unfair.
>> I'm told not to interfere. But how can i be outside and this whole unfair chastising is happening under my nose. You
all know that she like I , support totally , gay rights, blacks, and transvesters and everything elsewith unfair treatment. So
when her core values are questioned i myself was shocked.
>> Now, Gonca is totally destroyed and feels excommunicated from her own family just because she said shelikes to be
in a likeminded people. I didn't know now she chose her church according to it's progressivalues. But i see that all went
to deaf ears.
>> Leaving Gonca aside, after everyone left ,Bahar you and I talked and I said I understand where you come from,
meaning , that this damned trump government is taking your rights ,along with many other womens right s away. I said I
understand you that you feel repressed, but also said you shouldn't yell and get angry like this at your sister. All the
while she is not what you both made her to be.
>> Yes, the whole thing made me feel, that she is being punished for something she hasn't done.
>> To make an end to this side of the unfortunate episode I move to the other one.
>> Hate me or chastise me as well and never talk to me ,I can't do anything about it.
>> But sorry, I agree with her on that. She didn't attack you or belittled you in any way. And to all the yelling at her i
never heard her raising her voice and insult you.
>> Now as for me , i was disturbed very much. The next morning you're leaving, I expected a call from you as usual,
especially when you are leaving. Waited the whole day . I felt I am being punished also for last night although I didn't
have much say in it. Then I figured, either im being punished or being brushed of neglected and you didn't care to say
dogru durust goodbye. And you send me this armenian genocide article although you very well know where i stand. So I
wrote you something like a general answer and didn't want to get into another political argument.
>> Then you sheeshed me again dismissed me. And i started to think, i really don't deserve this negligence and
treatment.
>> Had big heart problem the whole night( with each stress it gets weaker and bigger) next morning i waited again ,
saying ,she would call to say good by,also Lisa will call and say goodby ,since i had anything going on with her,just to be
polite. It's commen courtasy. No, nothing from her either.
>> Then i started to think ,how hevesly i was to settle them in a nice place,first Bowery, then a mansion like 1320. How
much i ugras to get you the LA property. And I didn't even get a courtesy call? From anyone of you?
>> I admit , it's written at a wrong time and with burning sadness and rejectedness. Im sorry to hurt your feelings. But I
don't think i tried to kick you out of your shelter. Your shelter is LA, and this is just a place for Lisa to conduct her
business when you and her are here. And as far as i understand there is an IF. After all you are here for her job and I
understand her company gives her a place.
>> Now after a sick and nighmarish night I came to this conclusion .
>> Now Gonca is very scared and uncomfortable to manage this business on behalf of you.
>> And I don't blame her. I am going to make an appointment with phillip Michaels and see how i can liquidate or divide
bremen house and all to separate everyone legally,so that everyone manages their own affair. I have to do it while I'm
alive.
>> [Bahar I'll see , that you get 1320, since you are already there ,as
>> part of your assets.] If necessary taxes will be paid, and everyone will get their equal shares, including me.
