I HATE my step-mom
I know I'm being a PW, but I need to get this out...
I just got an email from my step-mom. She starts by saying happy anniversary. Then she says that they had to put my dog to sleep. Then she asks about my camera because they need a new one. Who does that? She said they put her down Friday, but don't really know what was wrong with her. Can't you pick up the f*ckin phone and call me?
A little back story. My dad and step-mom have been married since I was 2 (3 months after he divorced my mom). I have NEVER liked her. She has made it her mission to steal him away from me and she succeeded. When I was a junior in high school my dad got in a really bad car accident where his head was laying on the grill of a semi. The police later told me that they got the body bag out because they thought he was dead. My step-mom didn't call me until 5 days later and he was finally home. I HATE that woman!
That felt good to get out...

What are you looking at?
The only thing I can do is change the way I deal with her, so instead of fighting with her and letting her bother me, I just accept that she's a b!tch and move on and try to be as nice and cordial to her as possible, and realize that I can build a relationship with my dad to the best of my ability if I so chose to, and if not, well the power is all mine, because she doesn't control me.
I'm surprisingly really nice to her when I am around her. I bite my tounge now in hopes that they will want to have a relationship with Parker, because that is the most important thing to me right now. I have grown accustom to the disappointment I feel everytime my dad says he is going to do something or come by so I don't expect anything anymore. I would just assume that they would call me to tell me when things happen. I'm not mad about my dog. She was 13 and had been on a downhill spiral for a couple years now, I'm just upset at they way they go about things.
I just hope that they don't treat Parker like they do me. I am begging my dad to come to his first birthday party. If he doesn't, I don't know if I am going to try very hard to go see him any time soon. Relationships are supposed to be give and take, but I give everything for this one and he just takes it all.
At least I have the best step-dad and MIL and FIL! That makes up for 75% of my daddy/step-mom issues!
