AH! I'M SO MAD!!!!!!


grapfruit wrote: 10 min ago I was dead asleep. Like drooling asleep. That is until my *insert appropriate cuss word here* step mom decided to call me and tell me not to ever call their house or give their number away again.

What did I do you ask? Tim's brother called my dad to ask him about a mechanic he knows that works on older motorcycles. He called from HIS cell phone, the call maybe lasted a total of 3 min. But probably not even that long. My dad's cell phone doesn't work in their house, so you HAVE to call the house phone for him to even KNOW you're calling.


RRRRRR!!!!! I called back and left her a stern, but not vulgar message on the answering machine. B/c guess what, she didn't pick up. She just says "don't you EVER call my house or give away my number again!"

I'm going to post it on the freaking internet if she doesn't stop her crap. growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif growl.gif

I'm so incredibly mad I'm almost in tears. Forget sleep now. I need to scream at somebody.

Preferably her.

grapfruit replied:
Ah she is!


I wish I would of recorded what I left her on the answering machine wink.gif


I know I told her to grow up, not everything is about her. And at the end I told her to take her own advise and stop calling when people are sleeping! I mean she called me at 11:24pm!!

Hello?!? When I get calls at that time, it's usually important.

TeesaŽŠ replied: I'm not totally understanding, but I haven't had a lot of sleep lately, so maybe my brain just isn't comprehending.

So, Tim's brother calls your Dad, but your step mom is freaking out on YOU?

Now you have me wondering if you're really Cinderella.... or Snow White... yanno, evil step mom emlaugh.gif

hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif Sorry she's such a ..... er.... ah.... pain wink.gif

grapfruit replied: Well I just talked to my dad a bit ago. He is about to buy a paper to look for an apartment. I don't know how he's going to afford splitting. They have a way expensive house. wink.gif

You know, it's NOT my intent to ruin his marriage. From my understanding I'm the only thing they really fight about. Although they did fight a little when her youngest was (as he put it) packing her nose full of cocaine. But she's in the navy now and (obviously) clean.

Here are the reasons she doesn't like me:

1) I was "mean to her" when I was a kid (they've only been married for about 4 years, but "dated" for about 20). --->ya think?? I was a KID!!! Hello! Kids can be mean! Do you think maybe it was a 2 way street?? maybe when I was 8 and you came out of the bedroom while I was watching tv and looked at me and said "You can tell your mom she's a $&*%" b/c it was Valentine's day and my dad's weekend and you didn't get your "date" like you wanted MIGHT of played a part of it. Heck I didn't even know what that word was. I had to go back and ask my mom. (it's a four letter one btw). So mean to her. Yeah, can't imagine that.

2) Because my dad HAD to have me every other weekend and eventually my mom put her foot down and said "no Liz", she missed out on "all those weekends". My fault they "missed spending time together". Hmm...maybe it was b/c at 11 yr old you dropped me off in a Kroger parking lot in Springfield Ohio (aka NASTY) in a NASTY part of town and I called my aunt (this was before cell phones) to find my mom and then WALKED 2 miles to the interstate so somebody could come pick me up. (Yeah my dad wasn't with us this particular time). Maybe if she wouldn't of done things like that my mom wouldn't of said "no more" and forbade you from coming around and you WOULD of been able to see him "every other weekend". And I'm sorry it's not MY fault. It's not my dad's fault. That was his responsibility.

3) I ruined her wedding. Apparently before they were to get married, my grandma and aunt asked who was going to be bride's maids. She said her daughters. My grandmother said, "well if you're going to have the 2, don't you think it's only fair to have Casey too?" She said no she didn't want me. It should of been left at that. Apparently some more pushing on my family's part. Ends up, no wedding. They go to the court house instead. That's all my fault. Never mind I didn't find out until Christmas when my dad told me I couldn't come over.

Here are rules, absolutely can't call the house. No if's ands or buts about it. Doesn't matter if it's important. Can not do it. Can't call his cell phone unless he's at work. So I have designated times when I can call him. When we're BOTH at work. That's ok now when I have a job that's really flexible. But if I get the bank job, that means I won't be able to call him while at work. So, never. Can't mail anything. And of course, the biggie, can't go to his house. AND if he comes to our house or we meet somewhere, she calls every 15 min and then screams and yells at him when he gets home. Nice right?

I told him today that if she has a problem we need to come to a solution like adults. I told him to have her pick a place, because I want to meet her face to face. No more childishness of calling in the middle of the night and hanging up the phone. That's stupid, if she has a problem she needs to sit down and tell me what needs to be done to fix it. And "don't call the house" is not a solution, that's a stipulation. That won't fly. Find a different solution.

I told him to me, it sounds like she'd only be happy if I dropped off the face of the Earth. I asked him if that's what he wanted, for me to completely walk away. He said no. But it's getting there.

Celestrina replied: Next time she wakes you up (hopefully there won't be a next time) call her back around 3-4 a.m. to tell her not to wake you up.

hug.gif I hope things work out, It's not fair that she is doing this to you and your father.

grapfruit replied:
Oh goodness no. She'd probably kill my dad in his sleep or something that'd #@$@ her off so bad. She's seriously crazy. I think she's bi-polar (w/no meds) and she's an alcoholic on top of it. From what my dad says, she's not that bad when she's not drinking. But heck, I don't know. Or care really.

Celestrina replied: Oh gawd, no wonder. DH's niece is bp and unmedicated; I can't imagine what she'd be like as an alcoholic.

It sounds like your dad might be ready to put his foot down.

grapfruit replied:
Well here's an update.

My dad called me on Saturday afternoon. He had no idea that she called me in the middle of the night like that. He was asleep. He said she had drunk a 12 pack, so he's not surprised. You know if I drank a 12 pack, I would even be able to dial the phone, but she really didn't even SOUND that drunk.

But anyway, she was out "getting something to eat" and he was looking through the newspaper for an apartment. sleep.gif So it sounds like they're going to be seperating and/or divorcing. Which of course makes me feel guilty b/c it's my fault.

He advised me to change my number....which I'm NOT going to do as I've had this number for 7 years...

Kirstenmumof3 replied: hug.gif hug.gif I'm so sorry she did this too you! I would have been livid too!

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: I would not follow 'her rules'. Call your Dad when you want. hug.gif

lisar replied: I would have been p-oed also. Now get some sleep you deserve it.

Celestrina replied:
How is this in any way, shape, or form your fault? She's the alcoholic who treats you like s%&*.
