Last week at age 89. She led a permanently depressed life mostly, IMO, due to being confined to the role the cult assigned to her. Absolutely nothing physically wrong with her no health issues nor disease . My younger sister, being an only child (well that's what it felt like as she was the golden child) has made a great deal of mourning posts on social media.
Of course she was always seen as the "loyal" child having not officially left the cult as I had. Even though she has no intentions of rejoining and was much more "sinful" in her life than I have been.
Happy October. I hope everyone is safe and sound after the most recent hurricane came through the US.
I've been home from vacation for nearly a week and am happy to report that jet lag just wasn't an issue this time - amazing.
DH emailed SD's teacher about two weeks back inquiring what days the parent teacher conferences are on and expressing the difficulty of scheduling with BM especially with the 3 hour time difference. This teacher also wants to do a single parent teacher conference, okay fine, we have accepted that's how it's going to be. Unfortunately we didn't realize that we are traveling the whole time on one of the days on a plane to arrive ahead of SD for our fall break trip.
I had major surgery. Steps were well aware. They made no contact during this time. Less than one week after my surgery my parent passed away. Again, nothing from the steps, not even a text message. I am so sad, all I do is cry over my loss. In addition to my steps not reaching out, only one sister in law on my husband's side did. This hurts so bad. I am always there for everyone else. What bothers me about my in laws is that they seem to remain loyal to my husbands ex. We have no children together. Would that have made a difference? What do I do moving forward?
It finally happened. A call from the police at 5am. SD25 was found in a parking lot asleep in her car...not in a parking spot just the lot. They took her to the police station and called daddy to pick her up instead of arresting her and charging her with DUI. They needed someone sober to pick her up. She was incoherent and couldn't even tell them her address. They used SDs phone to call my husband. Once she sobered up they talked to her about if she hurts or kills someone she will be in prison and daddy won't be a le to pick her up. She could be in jail for 25 years.
I need a good vent. SD is a clone of BM and now I have the anxiety I used to have with BM allll over again as SD is now acting exactly like her in my own home. Unfortunately DH is playing right into her hand and thinking I am the one at fault. I have also been crowned to have one of the worst BMs on this site so I am not surprised SD behaviour is being fine tuned to act exactly like her mother.
SD14 started high school this year. She hasn't ever done well in school, but DH is taking high school seriously and staying on top of her grades. Checking assignments online, asking about tutoring, emailing teachers etc.
Says "Hello", "Good morning", or "How are you"? Like as in most of the time they don't say anything to you and even don't acknowledge until you say something? I dealt with this with my two SS's (You know what happened if you've read my previous post) and it seems like a shit ton of SP's on here have SK's like that.
DH and I booked a cruise for SS12's spring break next year. Since we know how BM operates, we booked a cruise that fell smack dab in the middle of SS' spring break, with two days on either side as a buffer for travel. BM knew months ago that we were considering this.
Because we are traveling internationally with SS and DH does not have legal custody and/or share the same last name as SS, the cruise line advised us to have a consent form from BM so there aren't any issues with international border control. It isn't a requirement, but more of a precaution for ease of travel.
