My SD needs a highfive!

I just want to share a good story. My SIL and I have been in a huge fight for the past month. We work together and she has a issue with everything I do. Finally I asked to talk to her to sort it all out, she refused. I moved on, till it started to make its way around the office...my SO called her and his brother up and tried to talk it out. Her response (via txt) was 'she is not family, I don't care.'

Sure we are not married but I have been a staple in my SO's life and his family since day one. Needless to say it hurt. A huge Italian family meeting was called and she got scolded by my FIL.

 

My stepdaughter (here is where I light up) heard what was going on  when we had a moment together she looks over at me and says; "you know you are a part of the family." It was the most wonderful thing to hear.

Have a happy Monday : )

    I'm sorry to hear that response : My SIL was friends with me for the first year me and DH dated and then she's openly hated me since, it's been over 5 years now. She didn't come to our wedding, she writes horrible things about me online, and she tries to convince the family that I'm awful. My ILs are awesome though, and they tell me all the time to just keep ignoring her and be the bigger person. They say she's just jealous coz I have a degree, a husband, and a house and I'm 10 years younger than her, my DH is a bit older than me, and she has none of those things. It still irritates me though that the family doesn't do anything to neutralize her animosity, especially since her daughter misses me and DH but gets yelled at when she tries to communicate with us. So be happy your FIL called a meeting and is actually doing something about the problem!!

    She really is just awful to the core; when my SD was first born she told BM that she was an ugly baby. I mean who  does that?? When I heard that story I was almost glad that I don't have to talk to her. She is a strange bird that's for sure.

    Ugh she seriously sounds like my SIL!! When DH was with his ex, SIL hated hated hated her. And then when she started hating me, she all of a sudden "reconciled" with DH's ex all to make it more difficult for us. I can't even tell you how many times my SD was brought to tears bc my SIL told BM something that made her freak out and take away noncourt ordered additional visitation with DH or something similar. Just an ugly person inside and out!!

    This sounds a lot like my SIL and we have been friends since we were like 5!! They always hated DH's X when they were together.. Now that DH and I are together and happy, They aren't happy at all and it's bunch of drama that I do not care for at all.

    For OP Your SD def needs a high five!!

    What a great story! Put a smile on my face for sure. 

     I have a SIL who claims she was BFF with DH's ex. So much so that she consciously makes it a point to ruin our family outings by asking SD all about her BM and family in front of my DH (who has a horrible relationship with ex). For 6 years she has continued to exchange Christmas cards, behind our backs. After too many encounters of befriending ex(despite numerous pleas to not talk to her-even before I was in the picture) we have not spoken in 9 months. Unfortunately, the ones who are suffering the most are the kids who have not been able to see each other.
