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"

Im reading a book called "The Confidence Game, why we fall for it...every time". Its an interest of mine, as I find it fascinating the stories of con artists such as Anna Delvey/Sorokin and others. Ive been taken in at least once by internet scammer, and have fended off more than 100 plus over the years. Ive not lost much of anything, its the sting of my own stupidity.

Whelp it happened (again).

Princess Powersulk got a talking to by me, and of course I didnt couch what I said in a calm understated voice, or didnt say the right thing, and of course that was the start of my workweek - an argument with Husband.

Wait. Let me back up.

New Years Day was really nice. Went to the gym with husband, and signed him up for an account as my Christmas Gift. Worked out. Went on a nice walk on the oceans edge. Power Sulk Sd17 was fine. Its her time o the month, so compaining about headaches and this ache and that ache.

Happy New Year and many blessings to everyone here!

So, Powersulk SD17 is back in the fold after sleepovergate. I had called and mentioned she should call her dad, it would be a VERY GOOD IDEA hehe, bold italics underlined. She called her dad at the last minute.
