Here is more of the story...

"First of all, it is important for you to know that I have always been a product of my environment—a product of some misguided fools who lead me down a smooth, slippery path that has lead me to lust, envy, greed and a delightful way of “living on the edge.” Not that I have minded taking such a path because it was interesting and quite lucrative, but it is important to me and hopefully to you, that you know who is to blame for all of my transgressions. I do not feel guilty for anything that I have done; I have merely been used and a product of my environment.

I was born, as you may remember, to a family of wealth. The Knight Family of Massachusetts gained their wealth through stocks and a rich family history of old money and a long line of inheritance; an inheritance taken, and used in a most greedy fashion and taken away from the old codgers long before they hit the grave. You see, greed is a huge family characteristic. And, being wealthy in Massachusetts set our family apart and it did feel good to look down on others, especially those families who thought we were “too good” to associate with them and in fact, most of the time we felt that way.

Writing to you now is the right time because you need to know certain things about your mother before the relatives and press descend upon you! And, descend they will, my dear because I have left behind a long trail. I may be on my last “legs” for that is what a doctor told me not long ago. Everyone has to die, that is true and I face that final curtain soon but I’m not afraid. Maybe I’ll come back as a cat, where I can spy on anyone I choose and they won’t even know it!

But, I feel confident that I will overcome the insidious poison that was thrust into my mouth a year ago and who knows, if I should die, I’ll make sure to come back and haunt everyone who did me wrong. I will explain later why this incident happened and who is responsible but for right now, it’s important that you know a few pertinent facts about my life because you are my daughter and you need to know..

Let me see how the dear man is doing. (She checks on his breathing, noting that it’s shallower than ever and then checks his pulse, which is almost extinct.). She returns to say, “He’s almost gone but he is after all 75 and he gave me little support and he’s been extremely selfish and vain…Oh well, so it goes

Your mom is “a boomer babe” and you may recall that I came from a family of six and was the “baby” of the family and was given a lot; mostly to keep me out of the way and to keep my mouth shut. I detested my siblings and pretended to care about them but only to get what I wanted out of them. They still are clueless about life and everyone has ended up with so little but that is not my problem and never has been!

I was shy once a long time ago but I quickly learned that being shy didn’t bring what I wanted and dear, I have always wanted everything; especially what others have, so I have always turned to others to get what I want. My other siblings have the intelligence of a fly and have never asked for anything! What a group of dorks they were and are! Be happy that you were the only child, dear."

Check out my new book, "The Twisted Life of Julia Knight." It's a story about a strange and very ill woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants in life. Juliais a haunting story of selfishness and a frightning look at mental illness and how and why it begins...It's now available online at Amazon.com. The link is http://www.amazon.com/reader/1449935028?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=sib_aps_sup&qid=1268051745&page=random#reader_1449935028 Here are a few sample paragraphs:

"Dearest Daughter, Juliana,

“Before my life ends, I want to tell you the story of my life and I want you to stop whatever you’re doing and listen well to what I’m about to share with you….For what I’ve endeared in my life could easily happen to you because, my dear, you’ve inherited some of my genes and some of them are very bad. Maybe by telling you my story, I can do one last thing on this earth and maybe the “Big Guy” up there, if he exists, will forgive me and know that I’m a creation of my environment—of those kind but misguided fools who lead me down a smooth, always delightful path toward lust, envy, greed and that delightful way of “living on the edge.”

I was born, as you might remember, to a family of wealth. The Knight Family of Massachusetts gained their wealth through stocks and a rich family history of old money and a long line of inheritance; inheritance taken, and used in a most greedy fashion and grabbed up before the old codgers hit the grave. You see, greed is a big family characteristic and my family honed in on it and used it to the hilt!

Writing to you now is the right time because you need to know certain things about your mother before the relatives descended upon you! And, descend they will, my dear! It’s been years since I’ve written to you and now at the end, at least it’s getting close to the end, it’s ironic that I’m writing this letter, because I’m not a great letter writer but my doctor, Dr. Feinstein, told me that my time on this earth is just about over. So, here goes….

(I feel confident that I will overcome the insidious poison that was thrust into my mouth not so long ago.) I will explain later why this incident happened and who is responsible but for right now, it’s important that you know a few pertinent facts about my life, because if you’re not careful, you may walk the path that I took and it may not be to your liking..

So, let me give you some brief highlights of my very crazy, whiz-bang, murky of a life. Most of this you already know from tale-telling relatives but let me share with you again on how your ‘old Mom’ came into being and point out some things that you know nothing about, but which you need to know and to understand why I turned to the “dark” side of life.

You see, if you understand what has made me the way I am, then maybe you will have some sympathy for me and know that what I’ve done with my life is not entirely my fault. And, perhaps I can find some kind of redemption in sharing with you my most private thoughts and life experiences. And, I want you to know that it’s........"
