What is wrong with them? Their son (you) has a piece in The Guardian.
THE GUARDIAN.  And it has generated over 300 comments already. What do
they want from you? You're trying to come off awful drugs but you can
still write a brilliant piece and books and all that and not fucking
die. I'm so proud of you. Your dad is being an arsehole if he can't be
proud of you and support your endeavours. I'm really quite angry with
your dad about this. It is no way for a parent to act. He should be
ashamed. I love you Barrett Brown.

Everything's fine, sweetheart. Had the last of the family time with my
cousins last night and then my mom and dad showed up this morning to launch
one of their regular disorganized attacks on me and then I told my dad to
fuck off and he left and then my mom and I argued and then came to the
conclusion that my dad was still an asshole and that his new wife is trying
to alienate him from me and we called him and argued with him and then gave
up and then I came into the office and now I'm finishing up the proposal and
checking to see who's libeling me today (apparently I am involved in DDOS
attacks against Little Green Footballs; it's amazing how much one is able to
get done when one's enemies are dishonest) and also giving my dad the look.
This happens a couple of times a year on average. It used to be concentrated
around visits home to Dallas and I was thus able to bring Mirna with me to
help tamp down the nonsense (she was representing me well before she even
went to law school), but this was a surprise attack prompted by me not going
into the office this morning since I had no idea that my dad was back in
town. Incidentally, this is why I'm so good at managing my many conflicts
and shifting alliances quickly. That and I'm neurotic.

Love.

I miss you so much and I love you. I feel like I've pissed you off
terribly. I have been talking to Jessica on the phone and she say she is
sure you're not annoyed and I should just be secure in your love. However
I
do feel far away and I I don't even want to send this because it feels so
disjointed. I feel alone and like I've lost you.
