I will go back to the year 1980 and 81 when our family has suffered a significant loss to the action of one person. There are articles written in the Youngstown newspaper regarding both incidents of Christmas 1980 and Easter 1981. At that point, my sister Genine and I have lost a great deal, our mother (Linda DiAnn McDowell), who was shot and killed by her husband, Budd William Miller.
Over the years, I have communicated with Dad or as our step-father. Out of all his children, I was the only one that was most in contact with him throughout the years. Not even his four children by his first marriage. Those three of the four have made excuses after excuses. There habits or motive is to a find fault in others to never accept responsibility and/or take ownership for the things they do. I have kept quiet and not said a word until now! I have to say one thing to Kathryn Miller Scholar, Elizabeth Miller Powell, and James Miller take ownership of some of the things you have contributed to this; by all mean, you are no angel nor saint! I have had this conversation with Dad about the two of you, Kathy and Elizabeth, he understood entirely in what I was saying. Every time you two girls are around, there is nothing but problems as well as drama. You two want to doubt me, but let me say, one thing, sweetheart, you never want to cross me or try to challenge me, you will never win… As the saying goes that the leopard never changes its spots. The two of you have significant issues within your immediate family that you can’t fix because it’s always someone else’s fault. For Kathy, that has never raised not one of the nine children and trying to get custody of her grandchildren, the best place with someone else. For my other step-sister Elizabeth is a drunk and liar so why do you think your youngest child is in and out of jail for drugs and alcohol to never take ownership, the apple does not fall far from the apple tree. I know the two of you have spoken very badly about my mother, but that’s ok! You never wanted to listen to your won father or behave. You two skip school to party and to do drugs, but look how all three of you kids turned out, with nothing! My message is to take ownership and responsibility for your action quit blame others for your inactions. It very friendly and the easy way out to find fault negatively, but can you be positive for once in your life??
I have taken enough of your out lash with the yelling, belittling, negativity, and blaming others for your shortcomings, take ownership!!!!
