Happy Flu Year & SD is a bitch

Chmmy's picture

The flu hit us hard for the holidays. DH, SS12 & I were laid up for days & still recovering.

DH slept with SS12 when they were sick to try to contain it but I still got it. While DH was in bed with SS12 and they were both dying, SD decided she was going to scream at him because she wanted something. I dont think she understood or cared how sick they were. I had to save him. I walked in the room and ignored her and asked him if he needed anything. He said no. She sometimes stops when Im around bcuz she's embarrassed of her behavior but she was on a rampage. DH told her to leave the room, she wouldnt, so he finally told her she's not getting her license the next day as she was supposed to. Good for you DH. So now the bitch doesn't have her license and Im getting rid of my son's old car that was supposed to be for her. I flew to my son's to pick it up and drive it 12 hours home but Im the bitch.

After the news of no license obviously things got bad. She screamed at him that he only cares about himself and "her"...thats her name for me. I told her to give it a rest and she told me I should just leave and things were fine while I was gone for a few days. She said she wants to move out and I told her no one is stopping her. I usually dont speak to her like this but yes Ive had it. So then she calls BM and says how I told her to move out blah blah blah. She's a liar. At least BM backs me up. She knows her daughter is an entitled asshole and that's why BM ditched the kids to be with her husband. She doesnt want her marraige destroyed so she backs me up so we keep the little bitch.

I packed to leave but DH begged me to stay. I did but I left in the morning til BM came to get SD16. Then i got sick. Ugh. BM brought SD back and now we have 3 sick people. SD decides its time to start again. She said she was going to kill herself so I told DH if he didn't call BM to pick her up I was going to a hotel as I couldnt show up at my parents house with the flu. I wasnt going to listen to this. When I told DH BM had to come or she needed to be hospitalized for her threats of suicide, she's scaring me and she acting nuts...she turned that into "I have to live with someone who calls me psycho and mental". Never were those words said.

I went outside in the snow and wind with a fever of 101 waiting for the child to get picked up. I had my bag packed but again DH begged me not to leave. I sat outside til 10pm freeeezing, sore throat, cough, fever. I finally left. Got 2 mins from the hotel and he begged me to come back and talk. SD had calmed down and was ready to talk. All she did was insult me, lie and give everyone her poor me story. I told her to shut up several times. Im done. She's a lying, manipulator. I literally screamed at her SHUT UP.

The drama went on for hours but BM took her for a couple days. I saw SS10 texts to his mom saying are you coming? She's going to kill herself. Mom im scared. These poor kids. No wonder theyre f##ked up.

So if I wasnt sick, i wouldnt be here. I need a break from all this. I told DH in front of SD that we made a mistake. Never should have got married. The kids werent ready....the reason princess hates me is she misses her dad. Ya know the one who gave her everything and never said no. I nver did anything to her and she admits that but she said I changed her dad. Well sorry bitch. He's parenting.

Happy new year to all the step parents out there!

Oh wow. This sounds like hell! I'm so sorry that's how your New Year's went. What a manipulative little bitch. She needs serious therapy. I'm sorry you're dealing with this!

I hope she gets therapy but Im not going with. I think it would take away from it as she'd focus on how mich she hates me rather than her parents or herself

What a miserable little b!tch. Bad enough dealing with that kind of drama but even worse when you are sick. 

Common theme with these spoiled entitled skids “the reason princess hates me is she misses her dad” My skid24  used similar during his Christmas holiday tantrum. “You have changed, I miss my old dad” . He misses the dad that would let him do anything. At 24 he still also plays the “ I should just be dead in a ditch” guilt line. My DH still barely parents in comparison to me, but apparently having to clean up after himself and having to pay his own car insurance and cell bill makes daddy such a meanie. 

Sell the car and do not do anything more for your SD. If she has a car she will even be more entitled to think you and DH should pay for the insurance, maintenance, and gas. 

Sorry to hear that you are going through, just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Hope you are on the mend.

After she threatened to kill herself and I stepped in & told DH to call 911 she said she was going to to put herself in the ground and it was going to be because of me. Like she would kill herself to spite me. Please tell me I wont still be dealing with this when shes 24!

Ugh, the flu. I am on day 6, and while I can function, it is still hell. I forgot just how bad it could it since it has been years since I have gotten it. Luckily DH hasn't been hit by it, nor the SSs, so I get to be miserable by my lonesome.

Regarding SD...don't really have any advice there. I think airing everything was probably good. Things can't be fixed in the dark (not that you have anything to "fix", and fixing can be leaving if needed). Your DH can't hide from it now.

It's nasty and I cant get a flu shot...well Im afraid to. My grandmother died from a reaction to the flu shot and a cousin had a mild case Guillain-Barre disease. My mom's whole family is anti flu shot as we think we may have something genetic that causes problems.

I have to get the flu shot for work. I either got a strain it didn't cover or my body didn't do anything with the shot I got. Either way, it has been a miserable few days.

Wow.  That sounds awful and you should not have to deal with it.  Next time she threatens suicide, call the police and have her taken to the hospital for evaluation.  If she isn't suicidal, she will likely not make that threat again.

If you stay, just stay out of parenting her, let DH deal with it.  Let him go back to being a free-for-all parent, it's not your problem.

I did disengage about 90% but I tried not to be distant and cold and still be helpful to my husband. I blocked her from my phone so next time she needs a ride call her mom who lives over an hour away. 

I do stay out of their way but like I said DH couldn't move hardly. She also drags me in by standing in the hall screaming thigs at me or about me. All I said was give it a rest and it went on for hours how terrible I am to live with. She is now without a driver's license and has to watch her brothers the rest of her winter break as Im making myself scarce.

Did anyone else notice how pleasant skids can be leading up to gift giving time? And then they blow up right after.

I don't think you are overinvolved - you have to address things that are meant as attacks on you. But definitely no car for her going forward.

DH doesn't want you to leave - so what's his plan to address Precious's behavior?

I will say for my skid, in all the years I've known him, he has not been a greedy present-grabber.

She’s going lie and twist everything you say so just remove all filters and say what ever you feel like. Best delivery though is not to shout or yell. Use a calm moderated voice to basically tell her to go eff herself.  

Why not be totally honest and let her know that you do want her to just leave. That you feel just like her mother does - neither of you want to be around her sorry ass. She’s a horrible person that is a screaming harpy that no one wants to be around. She’s the only one who can can change that by changing her behavior.

Deal with the family drama after you're feeling better. The flu can be so entirely draining.
