So I made Thanksgiving dinner and ate it, didn't say much. Still working on the if you can't be respectful we won't speak trend
So, did you talk with the kids during dinner, or did everyone sit there silently?

My oldest daughter is 17 and from my first marriage. Her mother ran off with her and I have only had her for the past year. She is the type that will do what it takes to get what she wants. Our issue is I wanted to be a parent and not her friend. She knows very well I don't care if she likes me or not. Told her we can be friends after she is an adult and can take care of herself. Her mother sent her to me after she had ran away from home.
Oh, gotcha. Bless your heart, you really have a challenge every day, don't you? A rebellious, father-hating teenager.......and your WW who acts just like her and wants to be best buds!
Does your BIL live in the house with you?
They all talked among each other and pretty much ignored me. Minus the FIL he talked to me and let me know he liked the food. BIL complained that I ruined the potatoes and turkey. WW made some green bean casserole and fruit salad she was pleasant until FIL left.
Yes he lives with me and I support him. He takes the kids to and from school that is about it. Other than that eats all the food and complains to the WW if things aren't the way he wants them. Of course then she tells me how I am wrong and don't appreciate what a sacrifice he is making. *sighs*
The father hater left today and won't be back. Really didn't like doing it and still crying off and on about it. Love my daughter to death but reality is she wasn't helping the situation so it needed to be done.
The BIL is the next one on the chopping block. Already told him he starts cooking, cleaning and helping more otherwise he is out the door.
So still doing my GAL stuff and going out most nights if only to drive and read in peace and quite. Still taking care of the kids and keep them distracted.
See my therapist tomorrow. About to file the papers myself just to be rid of the WW and the BIL. I love her to death but the constant conflict is going to kill me.
Oh I bought her a pillow on Saturday. Told her it was to make sure she doesn't get a stiff neck from sleeping on couches all the time. I thought it was funny.
