The grass wasn't greener

on the other side. Hehehehe. All I can do is laugh, and I will go to hell for it some day!!! SD16 called DH today and was crying about how BM's isn't quite the place she had in mind when she demanded to move in with her. For those of you who are aware of the situation, you remember all the trouble she caused. All the trouble she caused, I'm positive, was her trying to get us to allow her to go with BM. Last week, my therapist said she would "bail out" of that situation soon, and sounds like she has. BM made all these empty promises, and obviously didn't fulfill any of them. I love it. Mean, mean stepmom. I'm glad she is understanding that she really didn't have it so bad here.

I am also very concerned for her, don't know why. She made some statements to DH that BM berates her everytime she talks to him. I just finished reading the book DIVORCE POISON, and BM does all of the stuff in there. I worry for her, because I was also a child of a bitter divorce, and my own BM did the same crap to me. I feel bad for her that she has to be berated for even speaking with her father. No wonder she doesn't call much. Explains a lot. Aside from BM, living in this tiny 2 bedroom apartment are SD18, her boyfriend and their newborn. I think with 4 adults and a brand new baby, the stress is getting to her! She also told DH that she has realized how much more "peaceful" her life was here v/s with BM. Love it.

Well, I do not want her to move back in, but I do feel for her. Even though she despises me, I still feel for her. Yeah, I know, smack me upside the head!

I laughed too

I can join with you in a chuckle. My SD17 "lived in a hell hole" while she was under our roof, and made life awful for everyone. Always miserable and put-upon. She was always at the ready to remind her father how terrible her life was in our house, how unfair our rules were, what a bitch I was, how terrible our food was, and how she could have a much, much better life one hour away with bipolar, alcoholic BM.

So that's exactly what happened. We kicked her out for stealing from us, and told her that with a proper apology she could come back after a certain amount of time. We thought a taste of reality crammed into a small space with the abusive BM would be what she needed to snap out of her delusions.

No such luck. I haven't heard from her since (not such a bad thing). She stayed with BM for about three weeks, then moved into some flophouse. We don't know where she is, but suffice it to say, she's living her dream!
