I've been blue since Aug 31, 2006.
My Dad passed away 2 years ago,complications from a very rare disorder.
Since then My step-mother decided she hates me, won't give me family pics that have nothing to do with her, they are from my childhood. She was only married to him for 6 years. She will most likely get everything due to her rights even though my father had a will.
Please for the love of your heirs make sure your ducks are in a row.
Her and my SIL who hated each other since they met, have become BFF's and have made my life a nightmare.
SIL has managed to threaten my Brother's and my relationship and has cut my son,DH and me from my nephew's life, and he is my only blood nephew. She is expecting again, and it saddens me that I won't get to be part of the baby's life.
My brother feels left between a rock and a hard place because if he talks to me or waves or comes over he is not supporting her.
It all started when my ducks learned to fly and get out of their pen. We called her and let her know we would do everything to keep the ducks here, but they liked a small puddle on her property and would sneak away sometimes, all you had to do was clap and they would run home.
They never went to far onto their property, and not for long as I would do duck check!
Well one time I forgot they had been left out, as I was rushing to get dinner on, and they were in her yard in that puddle by the road, only out of their pen a total of 30 mins, and I remembered and went and checked and they were their so I herded them home and back into the pen, which we now have covered. They had only gotten in her yard 2 times since the covered pen was built.
Later that day the cops came and they were not so happy, it was the second time she had called, unbeknown to me.
So they were cool, but irritated.
I was floored, yes I know that the ducks should be here at all times, and we do everything to make sure they do, but give me a break, things happen!
Then after the ducks stopped going over there, she decided that our 2 cats were her responsibility and said she should not have to worry if they were being fed, Well who in the world asked you!
We take good care of our animals, and have a few back-ups when we are gone.
So My DH yelled at her to mind her own business, not swearing or anything, but her young son was out side, and she told my brother that was the last straw.
Never mind she screamed at me to shut up or get the f out of her house on one Christmas Eve because a few other family members got in a fight, and I was talking to one of them when the fight was over, and not about the fight! My 2 year old was standing right next to me!
So everyday, I look out my front window and get sad cuz they live right across the street, step mom next house down.
I try to invite them to everything, tried to talk to her, say hi, and she throws her nose up at me.
She didn't even invite her nephew to her son's birthday party. My Son loves his cousin, and yells across the street every time he sees him out, I love you!
I miss you, it is heartbreaking!
My brother and I have talked, but it is strained, and I doubt it will ever be the same.
Christmas Eve was a big deal to me and my brother, and he wouldn't even come last year, it is their turn to host, and I have no idea what will happen to our family tradition, it just breaks my heart!
Hey, but thanks for giving my a place to vent, it feel a little better knowing other people are going thru things to, and we are not the only ones!
This post could go under the Does anyone get on your nerves post!!!!
I hope every ones troubles pass fast!
