To answer your questions here is a brief update:
1. I went to my house yesterday and Princess Powersulk was there leaning against the garage crying. Her father, mr Chokesalot, sent her there for her "things" and was acting very angry and agressive with her. I filled her in on the facts. She hugged me and told me she was sorry and that she loved me. I just said that "hes not the man we knew and loved, hes on drugs". She knew and understood. I asserted that the online postings she saw were all lies and that hes mentally unwell.
Summer is coming to an end and SS hasn't done anything. SS went back to BM's house one month ago. BM has been emailing DH with frivolous updates since SS left, to which DH has responded "Thanks for the update." DH reduced his phone calls to SS from twice per week to once per week, which has been working better. SS seems a little more talkative only talking to DH once per week and it's giving us time back to focus on our family. DH has reached out to SS a few times each week via text, to which SS either didn't respond at all or sent an emoji.
I got an offer. Rather, I got THE offer.
I have been networking and applying for roles for just over a year since my short stint at a pre IPO start up. I have submitted countless applications.
Two months ago a role stuck out and got my attention at a far deeper level than any of the others. An interesting title was the hook that got me to dig into the role and submit an application. Since applying I have have interviewed with 6 different people and had half a dozen Teems meetings with the reporting executive for the role.
They called me today with an offer.
It happened. The End happened.

Mid afternoon today I noticed a couple of bees on the inside of our LR window. I just closed the blinds to keep them somewhat contained hoping they would find their way out around the window.
This evening, about 20 had made there way inside. It took a bit but we got them taken care of. I had noticed a lot of buzzing in one specific area but no bees. DW kept finding more bees this evening. I sprayed all of the window and door seams to try to keep them out. Still a lot of buzzing from the one corner of our study area.
Hi folks. Thats the title of a song by jack johnson we used to play when hanging out beside the firepit in the backyard.
And it hasnt really applied for a long time. But it COULD have...
So - updates:
- My family and friends are rallying behind me.
- Its now HIS idea to live as platonic housemates, and he claims that he wants a divorce
- No more policing on social media. He has blocked me.
- We have our own rooms with locks.
I posted on here a few weeks ago about SD15 coming over unannounced to "grab her stuff" and has been asking to transfer to BM's local high school (about 1.5 hours away.) DH hadn't made a final decision, but he was definitely considering.
After the death of my beloved stepdad, almost a year ago, I posted a blog about PAS’d children who abuse their dads and the reckonings that can result. Today, I received a $125,000.00 cheque (along with my 5 surviving sibs) from my dad’s estate whereas his cruel and malicious adopted daughter got zip. Dad made sure that his will was airtight; no recourse for the bitch. I’ll bet she wishes that she’d been a little nicer to her father?
SD26 is still lingering in our area. She is not coming to our house because she's mad that the last time she was here I laid down a boundary and firmly told her "No, you can't boss me around in my own house."
SD asked DH to meet-up with her today to do something together. DH told her no. Let the gnashing of teeth and tearing of clothes in despair begin!
Dh told me he doesn't want to deal with traffic, or her, today. He is worried she won't take no for an answer and will badger him about the what's and why's.
I knew when I was embroiled in step-crap/toxic BM crap years ago that it was all a distraction. I knew that BM wanted it all to be a distraction (negative attention is better than no attention, right?). When she realized she could not control our lives, her behavior seemed to evolve into trying to make sure she disrupted our lives and "punished" us enough that she would be a major focus. The skids followed suit. . . her little army marching in lockstep.
