I am becming the Queen of Ultimatums because, dammit, that's the only way I can get anything done around here.

SD24 was kicked out two months ago now for bad behavior (see earlier posts), and it's clear that she wants her sticky fingers to remain in our family and home life. For starters, she has not filed a change-of-address with the USPS, because picking up her mail is another excuse for her to drop by. I told DH that he had one week to either get her to fill out the form, or do it himself. If it wasn't done, I'd get rid of the mail.

Today I gave the post office a heap of mail and told them to return it all to sender, and continue to do so for all mail that came in her name. It felt good!

Last week SD24 took our dog, the family pet. I woke up to my BD11 in a panic, telling me the "dog was gone." Turns out SD24 felt "lonely" that night and just took our dog! She claimed that she "paid for the dog and has a rights to take it anytime she wants to!" She refused to bring the dog back to us, and DH had to go to her place and pay her a $400 extortion fee to make it clear that the dog is a family pet and she has no rights to it whatsoever. In the meantime, BD11 was a sobbing wreck all day--terrified that her beloved dog wouldn't come home.

I told DH that if any property ever disappeared from our home again, I would file a report with the police, and send them to her place. Period.

Now for the final ultimatum of the week. I still hold the loan for SD24's car--I did her a favor a few years ago when I was still trying to be nice. Two months ago I told her to refinance her car--I not longer would hold the loan for her. Nothing happened. Then she stopped paying on the loan. Yeah, I saw that coming from a mile away...

I told DH that if she is not refinanced and my loan paid off by March 1, I will call the police with her location,license number, and description of her car. As of now, the car is unregistered and illegal, she carries no insurance, and her license has been suspended. Still, she drives (laws apply to other people--not to her). I'll pay to have the car taken from impound, then sell it to recover what costs I can.

I am sick of this crap. Quite frankly, I don't care if she rots in jail--that's where she's headed anyway. DH, of course, thinks I am being too harsh. That's crap too. I informed him of every move I was planning to make and gave him time to get the bitch's butt in gear.

Time just ran out.
