As I mentioned earlier, D's ex-bf hacked into her IM and web page. Spoke with his dad, resolved that. Then last week, ex-BF tells D he got jumped by some guys in an alley and thinks she is behind it (absolutely not!) and tells her someone reported him to the school office for making threats and he is getting kicked out of school (thinking she did it - she did not - and no, he's not getting kicked out of school).
So - H and I go away for the weekend, and while my mom is here with the kids, some older teenage girl comes to the door at 9:30 at night. D doesn't know her, but she claims to be there to talk to D's mom, accusing D of attempting to sell drugs to her younger sister at the school. My mom is pretty smart for 73, and asks for a lot of specifics, which very rapidly start NOT to add up. (Turns out to be all lies - see below).
I call ex-bf's dad to tell him about our visitor - who has the same first name as a friend of the ex-bf's - the friend he stood my D up for a few weeks ago, telling D he had to take her some money because this girl owed some drug dealers! Turns out it WAS his friend, she admits doing it to BF's dad, says she "doesn't know why she did it" (ummmm - could you say "ex-bf put me up to it"???).
There's more, but it's just too weird. Poor D is freaking out - she's learning a really hard lesson in what happens when you hang out with people who do NOT have their acts together. Meanwhile, we have no idea who really did beat up the BF - D has not been the least bit retaliatory in her moods and emotions towards the ex-bf, and doesn't know any "tough kids" (other than ex-bf) anyway - but could she have talked about her woes to someone who decided on their own to punish him? We can't imagine who. Or is he in trouble with drug dealers and telling this as a story to cover it up (his father says he's being tested and he's clean, but ex-bf told my D after they broke up that he was dealing?).
Scary, weird stuff. Mind you - when I say "bf" - all they were ever allowed to do together was watch movies on the couch with adult supervision.
The sad thing is, I do feel really sorry for ex-bf's dad. He's older - around 70 - and his wife is a WAW, last week was the one year anniversary of the bomb, they are still embroiled in the divorce. He called me back tonight to follow up on things and was getting really uncharacteristically short with me (usually we have communicated well). I think he's falling apart, and his son is either disturbed, or finding a way to fake his urine drug tests.
Can you tell I'm getting sick of all the melodrama in my life????????? Ellie
