Thanks. Sorry I didn't call back. OBE: Overcome By Events! stbX IS an obnoxious, righteous, as*. I am so afraid all women are like that, but I know better.
D18 was laid out all day. I just got home after a board of ed. meeting, and there she was, freshly showered, ready to go out at 1030! "I texted you" she replied. As though that absolves everything. I WAS FURIOUS. I went into my room and slammed the door. She left to meet friends. Sorry. I was pis7ed. I never act out, but I've had it with her. She was sick as a dog for 3 days, even today she couldn't talk, and then goes out. I know...she's 18, but she is a mess.
I should not have done this, but I bet my 10 year old an ice cream that D18 was not really sick. Of course he told her, but shehas COMPLETELY LOST ANY TRUST I HAD. Any action seems like a lie to me. She is such a manipulator, I fully expected that she would get home and make a "miraculous" Lourdes-like recovery, just as her friends arrived home early.
S10 told D18 about this bet. She is pis&ed. She has totally lost any trust I had after the money went missing. It was her, plain and simple. She needed money, I gave it to her, she needed more, I gave it to her, and then she stole more. I've just about HAD IT! Oh yeah! GOT MY DIVORCE PAPERS IN THE MAIL TODAY! F78KING AWESOME DAY!
