    muscadine, al.
    My sister and I don't have any other family. I have my old man and she her boyfriend. My sister suffers from depression and stays in the bed most of the time and my part I suffer from is isolate. {a symptom of depression} We live about 20 miles from each other. Thanksgiving day she was going to come by to spend the afternoon with me which made me very happy. I was looking forward to the visit. We didn't have a thanksgiving at our house because my old mans job burned to the ground and the money wasn't there. This didn't matter because we were just going to visit, not eat.

    My sister and her boyfriend were going to eat at his sisters house. They had a bad front tire {leaking down} and to get to his sisters house you have to drive past my house. They spent several hours at his sisters house before coming to my house. Once they had got to my house I was so happy to see her and spend some time with my only relative. After about 20 minutes her boy friend said they had to go because they had a bad tire. We have a air compresssor and could pump the tire up but he said no they had to go. My sister reluctantly left with him.

    My sister and her boyfriend aquired a trailor they are going to pull onto
    our land. We have grated off the spot and there was a trailor there back in the 70's so there is already a septic tank ready to be hooked up. It will be







    very little cost for them to get moved and I told them the only rent would be to help me keep the lawn cut, so no rent.


    I have been upset about the short visit for two days now.{in tears} Her boyfriend can spend the day with HIS sister but we get 20 minutes to talk. My sister pretty much does what he says to keep down the peace. Am i over reacting by being so upset??? I don't think I am. What do you think?


    REMEMBER NO RENT!

    Well, I suppose if they move their trailer to your land, she'll be close.

    Sorry that you couldn't spend the time that you had planned.

    Sometimes we get dealt with badly and hurt, especially by those we love the most.

    Hang in there.

    If he makes your sister happy why make waves?

    Your not over reacting at all.
    Being quite to keep the peace is fine and all , but when it comes to Blood family time someone could speak up. I dont know any one's personalities so i cant say for sure, but do you think he might be a little controlling and taking advantage of the depression for his own inner reasons?

    I mean it was totally selfish of him to pull that tire gig.

    I am so sorry. Maybe when they move to your land you will be able to see your sister more often? I hope so. [​IMG]

    I can see how your feelings would be hurt. At this point tho just let it go because what's done is done. If they are going to live on your land you'll see plenty of her soon enough. And if your worried that her boyfriend is a jerk just tell them what Snakeman did to the fox and that should keep him in check.

    I would be very grateful for the 20 minutes you had with your sister and look forward to more time together in the future.

    Your sister was the one who needed to speak to her boyfriend about staying longer; maybe they truly had a good reason for leaving so quickly. If not, I'm sorry that it happened that way. But, it's water under the bridge and it won't help you or your sister to dwell on it and let your frustrations fester.

    Are you really prepared for your sister and her boyfriend to move to your property when it sounds like you aren't real happy with her boyfriend? Just think about the future.. you certainly don't want to put tension on your great relationship with your sister. Just something to think about.

    I wish you the best.

    Im not sure what is her inner reason for keeping him around then. I have a sister ( best friend) who has bad depression spells and she has a BF around to make her feel wanted, but she totally doesnt need him.
