Is Bratty McBratFace On The Move?

caninelover's picture

SO mentions last night that Bratty posted a happy smiling picture with Nutter GF on Facebook (I'm connected to Bratty but don't follow her posts anymore).  In the comments someone asked her where that was and she mentioned it was a stop on the way to Denver.  Which is odd because 1) Bratty texted SO last week that she was 'not doing well' and had relapsed with Mono;  2) She is supposed to be in classes and studying (I suppose there may be a mid-semester break but it seems early for that?) and 3) She isn't working so where is getting the money to pay for gas to go from NorCal to Denver?  I'm assuming they are staying with a friend but even so a trip would cost some amount of money, and Bratty isn't working right now so she can attend the post-bacc 2.0.

I didn't say anyting to SO other than 'that's nice' and changed the subject.  But I have a theory that Bratty and Nutter GF may pick up and move to Denver next year.  When Bratty made her ridiculous travel plans to vist Grandma McBratFace she booked terrible flights with long layovers.  One was a 12 hour layover in Denver (for a trip from the Bay Area to Chicago LOL).  Bratty tends to 'visit' cities she is considering moving to.  She did the same with the Bay Area before moving there.  So, I am thinking Bratty may be realizing the doctor thing won't happen, so is blowing off classes and thinking of her next move.  Nutter GF has an IT job so it could be remote, and Bratty could get another medical assistant job.  Between them and the lower cost of living in Denver they can probably get an apartment together.

This would be a great thing as I had been thinking that Bratty would move back to this area next year when she was done with her post-bacc.  If she moved to Denver with Nutter GF that problem goes away, and it would be good for both of them to put down roots somewhere where they can build a real life (instead of the crazy communal house crap they have now). 

Of course I may be overthinking this too and maybe Bratty is just visiting to visit.  But if it happens, it may end up being a win-win all around.  Bratty gets a life, and I maintain peace in mine.  Fingers crossed.

As you well know anything Bratty does is connected to an ulterior motive. That and she is just nuttier than a nutbar, guess her and the nutty GF are a perfect match.

Why would she lie to your DH?  Maybe it is exactly what you are saying. College isnt going her way so lets scope out Denver. I hope for your sake this is the case and Bratty stays a LD skid.

Cannot wait for an update.

I think she is so used to guilt-tripping daddy that she just can't help herself.  She always paints a doom and gloom picture for him so he'll say, oh you poor brave thing'.  Pretty dysfunctional but par for the course with Bratty.

I don't think she outright lied in this case but she definitely exaggerated to make herself seem sicker than she was.  And she left out the detail of taking off on a trip to Denver, so hiding some things for sure.  Frankly she always makes so many vague medical problems that I rarely believe her anymore and it's more a signal that she's unhappy about something larger.

Its really shitty when you can not trust a skid, like Bratty, to just reveal the truth, just be honest.

It leaves you trying to guess whats going on and how its going to affect you. It was like that for me. I never knew the truth. My DH kept secrets and SD always lied.

At least your DH sounds reasonable. If Bratty stays far away , you can live in peace.

I can understand her being somewhat embarrassed and uncertain right now, but yes you never know what she's really thinking or planning.  I don't have a lot of worry about it as she does seem to get that our house is not an option anymore.  That helps things alot since the rest of it (school, career, where to live, nutter GF) is really up to her anyway.  I just sit back and wait and see where the tornado ultimately makes landfall LOL.

Maybe all that fresh mountain air will cure what ails her...maybe!  Running away from problems is so much simpler than trying to deal with them after all.  Maybe she will end up working at a resort and being a ski medic....ooh imagine the stories that could come from that.

Bratty?  Ski?  Ha!  She thinks 75 degrees is freezing cold and is far too lazy for any snow sports :). Netflix in front of a fireplace while freeloading off nutter GF is probably more Bratty's speed!

Bratty is so much like my ex SD that it's uncanny....

The guilt trip thing. Oh yes, she did that in spades. 

Any time we went on a holiday or trip anywhere, she would say things like "oh thanks for not thinking of me" or "I never get holidays anywhere".

Her excuses for stuff never ran out, either..."my mental health is very precarious right now" or "you just don't understand how much pain I'm in"

YAWN...

Yep.  All the time.

She can't seem to connect that she makes poor choices that lead to poor outcomes.  She thinks it's all everyone against her all the time making her fail so she gets depressed.  SMH.

Went on trips. To the Grand Canyon and Portland.

Now they are just guilt trips.

Maybe she WILL move, but why all the games?

She's embarrassed because she'll have to fess up to failing at her doctor dreams.  So she's scrambling to come up with a plan b that doesn't make her out to be a loser.  So I think she wants to keep things under wraps until she has her plan figured out.  That's my guess anyway.

In Denver.  I think the mooching Target is the Nutter GF.
