thank you ,Joe. We usually are told we're making a huge mistake in paying her way while she hangs out with loonies who drink urine, make compost piles and thumb rides. She's actually impaired. She has Always been a problem; since back in kindergarten believe it or not. She claims to spend a lot of time crying; does so regularly in front of her son who may become almost immune to it. I hope.
I've been thinking lately that she hasn't found her true calling in life. She got her real estate BROKERS' license 2 years ago then promptly quit two jobs. Two weeks ago she quit her third job answering the phone at an old hotel for minimum wage.
Her sister just visited; didn't want to see her. Thinks she's poisonous. Dangerous.
So she'll have a centrally heated home this winter while she plays around with Ebay. I just feel she was not meant to dream of selling real estate; I just don't know what she should be doing. The most frequent way she spends her days is driving around town. She owes more on that car than it's worth; it's bound to just stop running eventually and we don't know what we'll do then. All this nonsense while our younger one works so hard, keeps an immaculate home and immaculate children.
I wish I could say that she has always at least been nice and appreciative but she has wished me dead more than once, has said she hates me many times, has accused us of abusing her all her life, she just lashes out with these insanely angry self pitying emails while we all keep writing checks and she keeps saying what a good, caring Christian she is. My husband says she just wants us to feel sorry for her so we'll keep up the bill paying. Her latest is the possibility of a romance with an ex-heroin addict who goes to NA and smokes cigarettes, of course. But he wants her to change. She will change for no one; she never has. She is very stubborn and loves that weed. Smokes it right in front of her son.
It's such a lifelong troubling situation for us and I do appreciate your very kind understanding especially as rare as it is . thanks so much.
