An Absolutely Wonderful Easter --- Twit Free!!!

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Whee! What a wonderful day it has been. Went to sunrise service, heard from my DD and his other children, and....NO TWIT...no stress, no problem.

GREAT!

DH says she called on Thursday and invited us over but he declined saying we had already made plans. He had enough holidays and holiday drama with this one. At Thanksgiving, she invited me to join them for dinner and then, right before the pie was even served, got up and ran out to Wal-Mart! Had to get in on those deals, she said. DH was pissed. He was still eating his main meal when she got up and announced she was leaving. He told her so and told her that was the end of him, us having holidays with her. That if she wanted to run to Wal-Mart she could have said something earlier and even moved dinner time up.

Me...was I surprised? Not in the least, I expected some kind of shenanigan from her and nothing, nothing surprises me where she is concerned.

I just let DH handle it the way he learned to deal with her in his counseling sessions. He was certainly not amused or approving of the way she acts.

So, with DH's new found strength in dealing with Twit we had a wonderful day and wonderful weather. Twit was the only one of our pack that didn't call us, and DH didn't call her. He said she was teed off that he turned her down. I had to chuckle (quietly) as he told me he had enough frozen pizza for Christmas dinner and then being shown the door, dashing out before the meal was over on Thanksgiving, inviting us for BBQ's and having only 1 hot dog and 1 pop for the meal and on it goes.

Hallejuila! He is learning and implementing what he learned.

That's so great to hear she's driving me. I remember your posts from over a year ago now and am so glad to hear that he not only went into counseling, but that it worked and changed the balance in your marriage. Good on you for persevering. This gives me hope.

Good for your DH. It sounds like the more he is away from her the better his 'vision' gets. LOL

Hurrah, for skid free holidays, I am finding my DH is getting better and better at handling Ass1 and Ass2 as the years go by, because well all of the stupid DH excuses of old, when skids are kids have come and gone.And these adults just keep on being their lazy, useless selfs and digging their own relationship graves with DH.

Enjoy the time with DH, Disengagement ROCKS !!!!!!!
