Hello, hello, I’m fine!
I just have an incredible amount of Dad Drama going on right now. It’s just an absolute nightmare. I had this post all typed out and then poof, it disappeared lol.
So we are dealing with my 93 yr/o dad and his beyond crazy third wife. And her children who are absolutely useless 💩.
Things have been going downhill for the past 3 yrs, but manageable up until my dad had surgery in April. And I knew the anesthesia was going to mess his brain up, but it’s really bad. Like it’s a daily nightmare.
I’ve been to Cali several times (one for a funeral for my friend). And am leaving on Mon again to accomplish nothing 😂.
We get a plan together and my dad goes ballistic. His wife has threatened to kill people, so we keep losing caregivers. Funny how that is.
My dad is extremely angry, like scary angry. He’s threatened to go missing, disappear, leave and I have threatened to have his license revoked if he does and is found.
He’s Mr CoDependent so he won’t leave her. She hates him, wishes she’d never marry him... so good times, good times. Did I mention how unhelpful her own children are?? Yeah, thanks kids!
There’s a ton more.. but another time.
Petey
Glad to hear you are fine.
Sad to hear you have so much trouble to deal with.
Take it easy and stay happy. :)
glad you checked in!
(tell her kids you’re packing her up and dropping her off..)
Sorry. Good to hear you’re ok. Be in touch.
Glad you are alive and dealing with stuff. (Sorry about that stuff! Not nice!)
one mistake and somebody was going to get killed and we worried about him shooting his wife and then himself...
my husband had to be the one to take it away from him and my FIL was furious...wouldn't talk to my husband which hurt my husband tremendously....finally demanded that he be paid for the gun to the tune of $600...
Oh wow, that is a lot on your plate. Will keep you in my prayers petey.
Sorry about the troubles. Dealing with a bit of the same. But really glad you are okay.
Good to hear from you Petey, sorry you have so much trouble to deal with. You still have your sense of humor. ☺️ Hang in there. 🙃
Glad your ok! As my SIL says when facing family battles, time to girder you’re loins!
I wasn’t the only one missing you. LOL
Thanks so much for letting us know what’s going on, Petey.
I think there was a collective sigh of relief when you posted, we are too few to lose anymore....
Best wishes for fighting the good fight in trying to resolve the family crisis.
It’s worrying when posters disappear, so we’re relieved you’re well. So sorry about all the family drama. I had some of that recently and just withdrew to let them all be nutty without me. It’s been wonderfully peaceful. Sometimes you have to burn a few bridges to keep the crazies from following you.
Hang in there, kid!
So glad you checked in with us. Will be praying for your situation with your Dad and family. Happy Mother’s Day to you.
Oh Wow,that is a lot of drama.
Stay strong, will keep you in my prayers.
Take notes, you could write a book.
Come back when the dust settles, or at least there’s a break. Good to hear from you.
I feel your pain. Watched my wife almost kill herself dealing with her sociopath father. She lost a job dealing with all his demands. She’s had two bouts of cancer and a back surgery during that time and not once did he ever ask her how she was doing.
Her reward, he accused her of trying to take power of attorney which her brother has, Removed her from the will and told her he didn’t want to ever see her again.
So now he sits in his own feces and stews because she’s not there to take his abuse while her brother at 52 lives in Daddy’s house and drives truck over the road.
On a positive note we no longer have our lives in constant drama and turmoil.
Hey, Petey - I too am glad you posted, and sorry for all you’ve been going through. But I’m mostly relieved that you’re okay - I was wondering where you were, although I haven’t been posting a lot myself.
Oh, dear. Prayers for you.
