10 years strong. Thinking about changing my phone number; because ever since my mother spoke dirt on my name to the whole family, I never changed it. Anyone who wanted to find out what the score was could have called or texted. For ten years, they could've called or texted. Not one of them has. Not one of them has come to ask what the story was from my side. They just let her lie on my name and did no further investigation, so...

Fuck 'em. I probably should change my number, maybe even change my name while I'm at it. Make a full severing of it.

I had my surname changed. Changed my number recently too. Good luck with yours. :)
