So, I took a new approach. I sat down with Husband and asked him to be my "sounding board" prior to any discussion. He kept trying to answer my questions which is kinda funny, so I explained the concept of 'sounding board', and he settled into it.

I asked the questions. Worked it out in my head and was ready to walk away from it all right there.

ok, so I need some specific advice:

SD17

Powersulk has been a major truant, with some knarly grades in important classes. The reason, she states is that she has been having migrains, fatigue and nausea.

Today, Husband related to me that she would be completing her senior year online.

I asked "so how is that supposed to go, and you know she HAS to graduate".

He told me that he doesnt really know but was assured that she would walk with her class. She had it all worked out with a counselor.

So, as you well know, Feral Forger SD24 is a MESS. How much of a mess, well, husband has a front row seat currently.

Shes now moved AGAIN (they sold the house) and needed rent money to the tune of $800. Husband when her first told me sometime ago, a week or something, said he told her firmly "no".

But of course thats just when the negotiations begin. She found the "sweet spot" at $400, and was busy shuttling her to the bank and back for the remainder because of course its now the 1st.

Adding the insult to the injury

Following your advice, I did not say anything to Feral Forger SD24 (yet) or any other family members, and thought about comments that were posted on my previous blog post.

Last night as we sat watching the new netflix series Griselda, I did however bring up the fact that I am angry. "Im not happy with Feral Forger right now" is how I put it. "I dont like how she bashes you to your own family", and proceeded to relate the few details I had and where they came from.

Im steaming mad right now. Not thinking clearly, and I am taking some time to cool off and think logically. Writing it out here really helps. Plus the golden nuggets of advice. 

Ive done untangling the whys and whats.

Powersulk SD17 and I were conversing last night. Just light conversation. Friendly.

She brought up her sister, and ranted a bit.

I get in my car and start my journey home from work.

Husband texts me "Im going to have a beer with Barnical Buddy".

I ask "is SD17 Powersulk with us tonight?"

Husband "yes, I pick her up at 6:30, shes with friends"

I chuckle "so your scheduling beer around Powersulks social time?"

H "Yes I am"

He gets home at 8, Ive already eaten. Hes shopped. No skid as he walks in the door.

So, just a quickie.

I got an email notice that SD17 powersulk is failing ....wait for it...PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS.

I texted husband and emailed teacher to confirm. Its a missing assignment. I had a variety of thoughts passing through my head by said and did nothing.

Spoke on the phone about it, sort of chuckling. Its her week with us, and shes "not answering her phone for pickup"
