Dang! I let her get to me
Sorry but not sorry. The saga with the 29SD continues.( the other SD is in TX all the time so that helps for now) I wrote a while back about how 29SD wrote the most hateful email I have ever seen and sent it to me. Since then I have said she wasn't allowed to come to the house because I wasn't going to be treated like a door mat anymore. I have done very well with taking the "high road" . I couldn't do it this weekend. UGH I have been agreeing to let her come back with prior approval because her un-pottied trained dog she dumped on us is ill. She likes to play these games (marriage councelor says it is her way of defense???) with her Dad. For example: she expects DADDDEEE to respond to emails and text messages immediately. My hubby and I were out running errands or soemthing and he didn't respond to her 5 text messages. Once DH relized she had text, he called her. She did answer and asked if she could come over ( she likes to come over and watch those crappy reality shows which I think is part of her problem and expects him to sit with her). She then all of sudden says she has to go and would call back. Okay - fine. So then we get home and her car is there and her shoes are at the base of the stairs into the family room. My DH calls for her at least 3-4 times with no answer. He then goes down and she is sitting right there watching tv. He asks why she didn't just respond to him saying "Hi". Her response was, "Well, if you aren't going to answer me I am not going to answer you". Anyway the whole time she was there she was miserable to everyone. Day ruined because if she is not happy no one is going to be happy. The next weekend she called and wanted to come back over (just on Sunday). It was so awful the last time I said maybe she sould come over another time. She said something awful about me to her Dad - I heard it from across the room and I lost it. I told my husband to put her on speaker phone and let's just get everything out on the table. I said let's talk about that hate email that she sent me that I did not respond to. Of course, my DH said no to putting her on the speaker phone and then the 29DS said she would never talk to her Dad again and couldn't believe he sided with me and how much she hates him, how he shouldn't be a parent........Anyway, I know this is going to come back to get me. She is going to use this somehow. However, I am tired of the verbal abuse she has sent my way over the years and that of which has gotten progressively worse for some reason recently. I usually let it go by telling my self she needs mental health help or something .... But for some reason I just let her have it from across the room via the cell phone that my DH wouldn't put on speaker. I think I startled him by my unexpected rampage... LOL I just can't keep it locked up inside anymore. If she wants to "talk the talk", then she better be ready to "walk the walk" Anyway, I just had to vent. Like I say, I can't wait to hear how she is going to use this against me.

is weird! Why is she still visiting at your house after writing a cr@p letter to you like that? How did she get in the house? Does she have a key? Why is her dog staying there? She should take her dog with her to wherever it is she's living now. And why are you worried about her using the truth against you? Forget that mess. Get the key for your house back from her and let her know that under NO circumstances is she to ever darken your doorstep again...and her little dog, too!
We are in the process of
We are in the process of getting the locks changed. I have told my DH that I don't think it is appropriate for her to have a key. We have lived in this hourse for about 14 years and part of that time she lived with us. She had the key then and we never got it back. She has moved back in and out of the house a couple of times during college. During that process she got a dog and magically now she can't find a place that she likes that takes dogs. I've called her out on that. Her dog is dying and she is not capable of taking care of it - or ever as far as that goes. That is the story my husband is going with. I agree with him but it IS her responsiblity. I know - my husband and I go around and around about this. It is a sore spot - one anyway. Regarding your statement about being worried about using the truth - I guess it comes from the fact that I am not a "yeller" and I let her get to me in a very loud way.
The result of that maybe has solved my problem. She doesn't want to come over because I yell - LOL
Sometimes people need a dose
Sometimes people need a dose of reality and after having those feelings bottled up she got the response that she did. She's 29 years old for Gods sake why isn't she living her best life? Why is she so hell bent on being in your house and behaving so disrespectfully? She doesn't EVER have to set foot there especially if she's not being respectful. So don't concern yourself on how she will use that situation against you. She can take her triflin' ass somewhere else with that bullshit.
I peeked at your old blogs
You are a saint to even let SD in your home after that email. Why are you looking after her dog??
It sounds like your DH may play both sides of the fence, that is why SD feels empowered to do what she does.
I would change those locks, and send Rover back to SD. She sounds really vile. BTW just you breathing will have SD using anything against you. Besides its about time you spoke your mind to her. Let her stew, cry, complain to daddy. I would be more concerned about whether your DH stands up for you. He may be the problem.
She moved in and out of the
She moved in and out of the house during college. On one of those moments of living on her own she got a dog. When she moved back in with us he came with her and never left again. I have demanded on several occassions that when she moves she needs to find a place that takes dogs so he can go. She says she can't find a place she likes that takes a dog. I called her out on that one too - but now he is dying and she won't take responsibilty of him. We all know she doesn't want the respnsiblity and even though I don't care for the dog I can't stand to see him die without some kind of attempt to help. Help from my husband - not me. I just can't when he is so close to dying. My DH does take both sides and he has gotten caught on numerous occassions doing this. However, to the surprise to both of the SD's he has supported me on several occassions and he has called them out on their behavior. I have been surprised myself! He was shocked to read the email she sent me and pretty mad. I think this has scared the girls a bit - they are not used to him not supporting them and not taking their side. He is starting to show signs of a "stronger back".He told SD29 not to come to the house for a while - even for Easter. I about passed out when I heard that! Thanks for your input - much appreciated.
She's verbally abusive to you
She's verbally abusive to you.
She's verbally abusive to the man you love.
Would you accept this mistreatment from any other almost thirty y.o. adult??I
Just because her father has no spine doesn't mean you have to allow this malevolent trash in your home. You've called a spade a spade and stopped pretending, which is good. Now ban her, and keep shining a bright light on her b.s.
Exactly - I'm tired of all of
Exactly - I'm tired of all of it and there is more to come if she continues. I think it is almost funny that now that I have confronted her she "runs". She is not used to being confronted. Until she grows up, gets help she is not coming back to the house. Even then I will have to think about it. LOL
Bullies are cowards at heart
Im always telling Munchkin SD12(almost 13). When her sister used to bully her, I encouraged her to stand up. Said that her sister the bully was a coward at heart, and would back down, that her threats were empty.
I get that yelling is stressful, and confrontations are extremely stressfull. Im not one for that also, however I stand up to people more now that I feel are treating me badly.
You have a kind heart. Toxic Feral, a few years ago, her dog was failing too. I had been taking care of her in her elder years, because Feral didnt want to be bothered. There was always poop on the porch, and I always fed and made sure she had water. (even during the summer vacations, because Feral couldnt be bothered). when she died (the dog) I paid for cremation. So I feel entitled to the ashes.
It sucks that SD29 has been allowed to boomerang into your home. Feral was the same way as a teen -when things were difficult at our house ie. asked repeatedly to clean up after herself - she would pack some garbage bags and stay with mom "permanently". When mom bugged out - back to our house. Then back to visitation schedule. And so on. At 18 after high school graduation, she ghosted us, and went to live somewhere else. with someone else, and didnt feel it necessary to communicate. So I cleaned out the filth and trash, and made it into my space. Took the door off.
Last November she was "forced to move in with the mother, Toxic Troll, and there she stays. She asked to move in to our home a few months ago, but as she has hatred for us, along with accusations of abuse, that was a big "heck no". Of course she guilted him along the way ..."put me, your DAUGHTER first for ONCE!!! Ahead of your WIFE!!!!"
And then more no contact, until she needs money.
To me - that sais it all.
Ugh.
You and your husband need to grow a spine. Seriously, why did you let her back in your house? What co-dependent, doormat thoughts went through your mind? Maybe try IC (individual counseling) instead of MC.
She has been asked not to
She has been asked not to come back to the house. She needs to talk to a professional. All of her relationships are rocky like this. There is something more going on here and until she talks to a professional, she is not allowed in the house. She is also going to have to listen to what I have to say in response to her on her email. Just me and her. If, by the small chance she really wants and cares to see her dying dog, her DADDEEEE can take him to her. I thought with age comes maturity - Not in this case and I'm done with her. Her sister (27SD) also but she lives in TX (with Mommy) - she is next. She better be ready. LOL
