I WIN! Story of a 4 year power struggle (NBR)

shakes

So some of you may recall the massive issues there have been between SIL and I over the years. If not, I wont go into it but in a nutshell...she's a smarmy selfish 26 year old brat who does not have the ability to think of others, and ALL the joy that goes along with that!

SO a month ago my MIL found and read a letter my SIL wrote to her loser boyfriend and called me FREAKING about it, so I texted SIL and told her to hide her crap better because I don't want to hear it anymore and to keep her mouth shut! (side note, I have kept so many secrets for this girl).

Fast forward to yesterday, MIL calls me at 11pm telling me that SIL told her what I said and how hurt she is and thought she could trust me, blah blah! SO I lost it and called SIL and let her have it both barrels, about 4 years of drama! I couldn't be any happier! LOL

I have waited so long for this moment and put up with SO much! The best part is I am so in the right here that she's called me begging for forgiveness! I'm going to make her sweat it out a bit.

P.s talked to MIL all is cool between us yay!

You cant even begin to know what I have put up with over 5 years! I guess these posts are only valid if you're one of the bump cool kids!

Hopefully getting everything off your chest will give you the opportunity to start fresh and have a better relationship with your SIL.  I know it can be hard when you bottle things up for so long.

This has nothing to do with being one of the "cool kids." This just sounds like something out of middle school. A told me something about B but told me not to tell B. So, I told B but told her not to tell A that I told B what A said about B. B told A and then A called to say why did I tell B what A said about B. Then I called B to b!tch about the fact that she told A that I told B what A said about B even after it was understood that I wouldn't tell B.

Yes that's exactly what it is! Welcome to life with my in laws! This girl dropped out of my wedding 3 times because she didn't like the colour of the dress!!! I have managed to keep calm for many years in the face of drama you can't even imagine! Stupid, childish drama!

The point is, Karma sucks for people like her and after all this time of me being kind, and putting up with it all, she sunk herself!

It's not the calling to b*tch her out about what she said, it's that I finally got a green light to rip her head off and let her know exactly how I feel and why and NOT be the a**hole in this situation because she brought it on herself and knows I'm right!

I hope so!! I do like her mostly and things have been good for a while but mostly because I just "go with it". I hope she see's now just how much we all have dealt with for the sake of the fam. I know I feel a lot better knowing there's no big pink elephant of unspoken crap in the room lol. I love my in laws but they are WORK!

Just remember that sometimes we all just need to celebrate in our own way.  Unless you've had YEARS of sucking up family drama, you wouldn't know how it feels to finally WIN! lol  So maybe 5th graders do it, too, but I can definitely understand where OP is coming from.  And rather than go stir up MORE drama and brag about it to family memebers, she choose to post it to us.

Thank you, that's exactly it!

YAY I am proud of you for sticking to your guns, you have your own family to worry about, and SIL needs to grow up and stop playing family members against eachother! You did the adult thing by calling her out and telling her enough is enough......so if some people think that this is highschoolish....then I guess having kids never really effected their mental ages.... and really what better way to start fresh then by saying to the 2 family members involved work it out and leave me out of it!!! Way to go SHAKES!!!!

I heart you Marsha!
