Parenting after 35

Someone called the cops on me today.

It was my stepmother.

Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.

I'd like a vicodin with a beer chaser, please.

I am hoping I have the energy to type this out tomorrow. I really need to get it out.

  • Nutshell Version:

    My dad is dying- stage 4 Congestive Heart Disease. They've told him he might be able to get a pump that will extend his life 2-3 years but aren't being all that optimistic about it as he's not in good health at all.

    I called him yesterday morning to see how he's doing. He and my 44 year old stepmother have been fighting a lot. He thinks she wants him dead. I ask how he's doing and he starts to cry and says "please don't make me talk about it." I finally get out of him that they had a huge blowout the night before. After we hang up, I called my aunt (she doesn't work- I was on my way to work) and ask her if she can go by and check on him today. She and my dad are very close but because my stepmother hates her so much (no idea why other than the fact that my dad puts her on a pedastal and stepmom is insanely jealous), she hasn't been able to communicate with him much because he has forsaken her lately in order to keep peace in his marriage. She says she will go right after her Bible study (she lives close to him).

    So, I go on to work as I had a meeting I couldn't miss. When I was almost to work, I called stepmom just to see what was going on. No answer. I send her a text that says "call me." Right as I get to work, she calls and says "GO GET HIM. I don't want him anymore. I am done with him." I asked what was going on and she said she didn't want him anymore and that I needed to get him and take him to my house. Seriously?

    I called my aunt (she has a key- just in case he didn't answer) and asked her to meet me at his house. We got there, talked a while (he told us about her horrible verbal abuse), and then I told him she wanted me to take him home with me. He refused, saying it was his house. I texted her and told her she needed to go to a hotel for a few days and that I would pay for it. Ten minutes later, she storms in and starts screaming at me saying "I thought you were going to help me and take him to your house!" I told her he didn't want to go and told her I couldn't believe how she's been speaking to him. She started screaming and told us to leave (my aunt, dad and I were all sitting there calmly). I said we weren't leaving so....she called the cops and told them that she wanted two people removed from her house. She said the people were her husbands daughter and sister. Then she said, "Yes, he's here but he's subdued. I think they drug him."

    Yes, she really did.

    It gets worse but I am on a deadline. I think you get the gist though. I guess you have to laugh?

  • So sorry about your dad. I can't imagine where this story is heading. All I keep thinking is - she must be an effing nut job. Hugs honey.

  • Oh no she didn't! If I were your dad, I would have a locksmith on speed dial. Next time she goes out - locks changed. Crap Jen, you seriously don't need this.

    I'm in for sure. Wouldn't be that long of a road trip for me and with the week I've had it might relieve some stress.

  • Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot indeed!  That is crazy and I am so sorry your family is going through that!  Do snow boots count?!
  • What an effing bi*ch! It's his house, tell her to get the hell out! She doesn't want to deal with it, then she should go.  I can't believe when the man needs love & help the most he has to put up with this. I am so sorry for you.
