Toxic Feral aka Winona, well we knew something was bound to happen, it HAS been a month or so.

So - to backtrack for the new folks:

I have 2 skids - one I used to call Winona because she was caught at the age of 17-almost-18 stealing makeup sponges from JC Pennys. It was the SECOND TIME she was caught on camera. Luckily she was NOT yet 18, and luckily she had money in her purse. This resulted in a fine of $250, however, which DH paid, because he needed her to take his turns doing mom care. NO real repercussions...

Firstly thanks to you all for the responses to my previouspost "Shutting Down". Munchkin is now almost a teenage, and is starting to push the boundaries. All normal stuff, nothing extreme, except in this messed up step world, small becomes big, nice people become ogres.

Last night I come home, just tired. I come home to Munchkin asking where the chocolate was that my brothers wife had given us for Easter.

She said she had gone through my purse looking for it. I freaked out inside, and just quietly asked her to please not go through my purse in the future.

Well, during our dinner conversation, Muchkin SD12 voluneered that she thought all of Toxic Ferals 'illnesses' were created by her mother, Toxic Troll. Specifically stated "my mom makes her sick, she creates all the illnesses, but shes not really sick".

I can tell that she doesnt really enjoy all the drama, yet Feral continually tries to get her to be in the middle, asking her to be the go-between when there is drama. She just wants to be a kid and play songs on the ukelele. Draw, and paint. Not be a referee between her 20 year old sister and 50 year old mother.

Feeling good because:

- things are REALLY great with DH, and Munchkin SD12. Last night she asked me to curl her beautiful hair and we laughed and cackled at my ineptitude (needing practice - I was never a girly type, and have naturally curly hair!). She was very forgiving, however.
