He's gotten a number of big raises and promotions that Satan hasn't benefitted from since she lost custody of Paycheck/Killjoy in 2012. So sad, QQ Satan. She used to brag to GBM that she was 'getting raises whenever DH got a raise'. I had to resist the urge to ask him if he will be sending some of his extra earnings to her. But he hates to think about her and wouldn't appreciate the sarcasm.

I swear, I'll stop thinking about her at all eventually...I've got her raise...right here...

DH has been home for about a month now, so last week I finally removed Killjoy's profile off our Netflix.  I'm a very private person and I was happy to stop sharing with her.  I hated 'seeing' her every time I logged on, and I hated sharing an account with her because of how snarky AF she was about every little thing I did, including my tv choices.  I watch a lot of nerdy sci-fi shows, and also documentaries and true crime programs.  Back when she lived with us, she'd snort or scoff when surfing past my watchlist.  Paradoxically, if a show isn't vapid AF, it's 'stupid' to her.

DH would deny it if you asked him, but he's been surly the past couple of months, as usual worrying that Pumpkin won't get exactly what she wants.  Fully enmeshed in the roller coaster of trying to find a glamorous college that will give her a full scholarship.

DH and I have a recurring fight which tends to get ugly and leaves us both feeling sick, and if it keeps happening the resentment is going to become insurmountable.  It happened again yesterday.

Some polite acquaintance will ask him how his daughter is doing and he'll answer, which isn't his fault.  But I don't want to hear it.  Because it goes beyond polite answer into waxing poetic about how well she's doing, how gifted she is, blah blah blah. 

Every parent wants to be proud of their kid, and I shouldn't want to take that away from him.
