My Entitled Family Wants to Take My House and Give It to My Brother, Even Though They Kicked Me Out.
So she bitched to Dan about it and demanded he tell me to delete my Reddit account. But not only has Dan read my recent posts, he no longer cares.
He said they serve as a reminder of the prick he used to be and he’s not losing sleep about it. Besides, I’ve still helped him out despite all he’s done to me, so he is not going to be upset about it.
My parents have also made sure to try and treat Dan and I more equally when I’m around too. My father is still a man of few words around me, though.
Someone pointed out that changing now after so long of treating me as the opposite of Dan means he doesn’t know how to connect with me anymore, and I think they’re right. I don’t mind the way he is now, though.
My mother has also developed a habit of saying she’s sorry about every little thing in my presence. Dan told me that she and my father have been reamed a lot by extended family and their counselor, and now my mother feels like she needs to apologize for everything.
This is all a stark contrast to how they used to treat me. Also, I didn’t talk about before what ex-Sil’s opinion was on Dan borrowing my camper so his son could have his and ex-Sil’s old bedroom.
Well, like a stereotypical bully, she looked down on him and mocked him about it because now he’s “living like a bum,” as she put it. But Dan took it in stride and asked if she was done yet because he knew this was exactly how she’d react and he just plain doesn’t care anymore.
She’s borderline dead to him and her insults were on deaf ears. Then he pointed out to her that he was living out of the camper because he was putting his kids ahead of himself so his son could have his own room, something his ex never did despite being their mother.
She just weaponized her children and pregnancy to keep from working and to emotionally blackmail everyone. Then he asked her to remind him how that was working out for her.
Mind you, this was early on in their divorce; I’m sure you can all guess her reaction. Dan said his ex did have quite the tantrum about my recent posts, but no one has bothered to contact me on her behalf to take them down, so she just has to live with the well-deserved shame.
She has been trying to act nicer to Dan lately; guess the grass isn’t so green living with her parents. Dan tolerates her as the mother of his children whenever they meet, but nothing more.
He will never take her back; he’s told me that he can never look at her like he used to and the very thought of her turns him off emotionally. So ex-Sil pretty much has no chance of reconciliation.
I have no new info on ex-Sil’s affair partner; his social media is still locked down, same with ex-Sil’s, and it’s likely to remain that way as long as I have a chance of reading them.
Something happened in the middle of the night/very early morning on the 1st. I suspect it was my ex-Sil, but the person my cameras recorded was wearing layers of heavy sweats and had their face wrapped up along with big glasses covering the eyes.
You couldn’t really tell if they were a man or woman. They came on foot, too, so no identifying a car.
They did look about ex-Sil’s height, though, but that’s not much in the way of evidence on its own. If it was ex-Sil, she knew about my cameras, so covering her face and body for petty eggy revenge was probably the smartest thing she’s done in years.
Way to finally put her college degree to use by egging a beat-up old pickup truck. The egger showed up around 3:00 a.m.
I was deep asleep and didn’t hear anything. Whoever it was that appeared that night quickly threw a dozen eggs or so all over my truck.
They didn’t attempt to do any more damage at least and were gone in a flash as soon as the last egg was thrown. I didn’t see the mess until I was leaving for work in the morning.
I ran my truck through a local car wash during my lunch break. That took most of the egg off; I had to scrub it a bit more later after work.
Egg really isn’t good for the paint, but the truck is from the 90s and doesn’t exactly look mint anyway. I did take photos and filed a police report with the CCTV footage as evidence, but so far nothing has come of it.
There was no real damage other than my minor irritation and $15 at a car wash. If ex-Sil did do this, then she was smart enough to only throw eggs and not key my paint or slash my tires so my insurance wouldn’t be involved.
I don’t think much will come of the police report as the cops seem to dismiss it as a probable prank by a teenager. I get they were probably overworked, but at least the report will keep a paper trail in case of future incidents.
I waited until now to post because I wondered if anything else would happen, but no, just right back to peace and quiet. I would appreciate any good advice on the matter, though, just in case something like this happens again.
Update: asked around with some people on the street about cameras possibly seeing the person who egged my car. Our response is ranging from “we don’t have cameras” to “it was Halloween and people pull stupid pranks, let it go.”
The few people who were helpful told me that I waited way too long to ask and the footage auto-deleted. So basically the egger got away.
But if it was Sil, I’m guessing she had to walk around a half-mile in those sweats just to not get her car spotted on camera or something. It wouldn’t surprise me if she questioned if it was even worth the effort.
Oh well, I guess I’ll just wait and see if the egger comes back next year. I did hand out printed pictures of the egger, though, and even taped a few up on posts, so now people in my neighborhood are aware at least.
The tenants renting out two rooms in my house have stayed out of it, and I don’t really blame them. It’s not their problem.
