Didn't Go To Family Cookout Today

NewBeginning's picture

Last week was my DH's birthday..I took him out to dinner and a movie and spent some quality time with him. It was a really nice weekend for us.

DH informs me yesterday that his daughter - who I utterly detest - was having a 'birthday' cookout for him today. It included every last member of his family including grandchildren. DH knows how I feel about his daughter. I'd rather pull my own teeth out of my head than be any where near her. I've never been to her and her husband's apartment nor do I care to.

He tried to pull the "Would you like to go?" routine on me which he should have known I'd say no. I finally told him to stop asking me for I truly had no desire to be anywhere near her ass. I will not put myself in the position of being in her home where I know I'm not wanted.

Since her stealing tirade here in January and then her attack on me she has told her father she 'tried' to apologize to me which she has not. She has told several lies to family members over time about me and I'm just done with her completely.

I told DH that this is IT..this is how life is for us and he has no one to blame but his daughter. How her behavior has NEVER been confronted in the slightest and now that I'm calling it loudly out I will NOT be made to feel guilty. I personally don't care what his family thinks if anyone looks bad on me for not going..but I know how they feel about her. They'd all much rather pull their own teeth than to be around her and that's the census out of most of them. They play it off that they conveniently overlook her faults for the time being and then talk about her later about her dramas.

I, on the other hand, just do NOT want to be around her. I will not play the game of hiding my feelings about her just for the convenience of playing nice.

Am I wrong for this?

His fear is that some of the family doesn't know the full story of why I don't acknowledge her...I told him NOT to lie and if they want to know my phone line is wide open. Some of the family know she is a thief and were appalled to hear she has stolen so much from us and understood why I was so angry with her.

His daughter didn't just attack me verbally for no reason..she stole from us and her Daddy confronted her on it. Told her he knew she did it. She then verbally and in writing attacked me so horribly that the things she said can never be erased nor taken back. This little bitch sees that I see right thru her and I'm nothing like her Daddy and Mommy..I call her out loudly on her faults and am very proud of it.

Who cares that the family finds out she's a thief? Do they honestly think I just disown someone for no reason? This is a woman-child that wrote all over Facebook how some 'girl' come along and stole her DADDY...meaning me. How her dad has been turned into such a horrible person due to this 'girl'.

I'm just tired of the drama.

So let him try to explain to his family today where I'm at...I'd love to be a bird there to hear his story. I know for a fact that most of them ALREADY know the story from me and he doesn't know they know. I'm sure he'll try to cover it up somehow.

And for the record, I also told him I hope she's happy that she's now made our marriage one that we won't be doing things together due to how I won't go near her. My DH is the biggest family man you'll ever meet and his wife won't associate with his daughter due to her actions...how there are going to be many family functions where you won't see me there.

I hope he's very proud of the creaton he's raised.

I don't blame you at all for how you feel. I don't think it is necessary for the new wife to be all up in the father/child relationship in most instances. Although, in this one, I think you did yourself a terrible disservice. I think because it was an event for YOUR husband, you should have been in attendance. You, of course, would not have to interact with her at all. You would simply be there as his wife.

Now, if it was an event for her, I wouldn't go either if I were you. Sometimes people do things that are unforgiveable. He is her father, so it makes sense that he will overlook her flaws. You, on the otherhand, have no investment in her and frankly, DO NOT have to put up with her.

I don't blame you one bit for not going. If you know the girl doesn't want you in her home, stay away.
