Saturday night, OS (SD's Oldest Sister) called me to warn me that BM was on another rampage. Fortunately, after BM didn't get any sympathy from me over her last "I'm going to kill myself" fit, she didn't include me on her rampage. Her usual plan of attack is to text either me or OS, and then spending a few hours amusing herself by sending us BOTH ridiculous texts!

Anyway, OS got a text on Saturday night (around 11) that said "Happy Mother's Day" from a strange number. OS texted back and said "Who is this?" then fallowed it up with "Happy Mother's Day" before she got a response.

BM texted OS back "Don't say that to me. I'm not a mother. Even your sisters call Smellissa Mom and me by Satan" (she really said her first name!) She fallowed that up with "I'm sorry I can't be good enough for you and your sisters. I'm sorry I can't be a good person."

OS (I'm really proud of part of this) texted her back "That's not true. You could be good enough, but you get discouraged and give up. That's your fault." After that, OS got another text and asked me if she should answer it.

She told me that she was so happy, and was in a good mood looking forward to her first Mother's Day, but now she was depressed. She didn't understand why her Mom couldn't let this be special just because it was her first Mother's Day, and her mom's first Mother's Day as a grandmother.

My advice to OS was to put the phone up - her baby and first Mother's Day were what she needed to be focusing on. Shortly after, OS and I got off the phone, but she called me yesterday. We had a sappy "Happy first Mother's Day!", "Happy first Mother's Day to YOU" conversation. Her BM wasn't mentioned. I'm proud of that girl!
