I told her tonight was about love and I'm sorry for the past and said "God bless you" just before I returned to the dance hall and closed the door in her face. No drama for me. (We are guests at my cousin's wedding reception).

Edit: my dad and husband say just "ignore her" and "be happy."  I have to say.. She has been silent all night while I have been "Belle of the Ball" if you will. I am happy and free. She wants an apology from me but all of my apologies will never recolor her black heart.

My BIL separated from his wife in September and has been staying in our basement since October. He has 1 dog and we have 2 dogs and 2 toddlers. He hasn't paid the full $600/ month rent EVER and never buys dog food when I ask him to. He won't pick up dog poop in the yard because 2/3 are our dogs and the spare room (SD's room he's staying in) is always trashed. He lost DH's truck keys this morning (the rule is to hang them up) and took my car to work so now I have no vehicle for the day.

To recap: we got a 2 week notice for summer visitation with no return date for SD14. There was a mishap with the ticket DH so we paid $960 on Father's Day to get SD here. The day after SD gets here, BM says she needs her back by July 4th, less than 2 weeks. They have "plans." We could've bought a return ticket or she could've said something before SD was already here.

Anyway, today the amusement park is 2 for 1 so I'm taking SD as we're on limited time and DH doesn't like going. I also took her and my sister to a scary movie on Friday.

We have always asked BM for a reasonable amount of time to plan trips to fly SD14 up here since Delta charges $150 per flight per unaccompanied minor. DH just told me SD wants to come up for Father's Day, 2 weeks from tomorrow. I told BM myself back on April 25th, almost 6 weeks ago, to specifically NOT do this but here we are. DH asked for dates back in March at spring break before that. DH is telling her to pay for it or SD isn't coming.
