Why it is it they can still twist a knife in our hearts after all of this time? Part of the ceiling plaster in the laundry room fell and I asked my D19 to call her dad and ask him about it. Mind you we have already had problems here and there is a brown spot on the ceiling. He told her to go check the gutters to make sure they weren't stopped up. She gets all mad because she has to do this and takes it out on ME!!! I say it's not the gutters. She says I can't reach it. I stick my hand in there and come up with a handful of leaves. She called him back and said it's in the middle of the laundry room how could it be the gutters? He says feel of it and see if it's wet. Of course it was. He says tell your mom to call someone and hangs up. I asked her who? She said I don't know? I say I'm going to call him, she said no I will call him. She starts defending him and saying it's not his fault. I said I didn't say it was, but by this time she is mad and leaves.
I call him and asked him who I needed to call. He told me. He then asked me if I had got the papers. I told him I thought it was wrong that he and OW and his children were at his parent's house for the 4th of July and his own children weren't invited. He said I didn't invite them. I said someone did, he said I guess Mom did. I didn't even go over there to later. I said well, obviously you are still seeing her or your mom wouldn't have invited her. I said I hope you are very happy with your new family because you certainly have destroyed this one. I told him you know that youngest D will never come around her. I said I can't believe she is that important to you.
