Alas, I feel all is lost with my sister. She has become another casualty to the dysfunction of blended family life. All my reasoning, patience, empathy regarding her situation have come to no avail. So allow me to catch you all up to speed with some bullet points.

Hello, all. It's been awhile but I have a much anticipated and predicted update on stepford sister and Prince Not So Charming. It's over.

Allow me to elaborate... As soon as they all attempted cohabitation in Prince land things took a turn for the worse. Prince's oldest daughter, who were 50/50 before said move, became 100%. Her mother refused to take her back as she "didn't feel safe with her in the house." If you remember correctly, oldest has a slew of "issues" including cutting.

Last weekend my parents took sister and Prince Charming to dinner for sister's birthday. I didn't think much of it as it is a tradition with our folks. However, I was alarmed that I received a phone call from my father immediately proceeding the dinner from his car. It was after nine and I was worried something was wrong. Upon answering my father says to me, "Just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the Twilight Zone." My reply, "Nope, dad. Everything ok?" To which my father tells me he'll explain later... Oh boy.

But not to worry, the house will be in her name only. *insert eye roll* Evidently, she missed the part about "community property" in the state she is moving to. Oh, and Prince isn't contributing to the down payment. That will come from the proceeds of her house's sale. But he will contribute to the mortgage.
