So this drama that I spoke of in last blog has all to do with my sister and her family. My niece moved out on Saturday night and the whole family was in an uproar. I finally talked to my niece today (she turns 18 tomorrow) and heard her side of the story. I'm a little disgusted with the difference in story I'm hearing about the events that transpired.
There was a low-blow comment from my brother-in-law apparently about me and when I was living there. He said that I disrespected their house and that was the reason he kicked me out.
That's funny, because I distinctly remember my sister kicking me out and him sitting on his thumbs not saying a damn thing. Either way, that is all water under the bridge and I'm in a better place for it I just found that a little funny.
My sister is talking all kinds of crap about how my niece has been lying and scheming behind the backs of the whole family and as much as I think part of it is true, I'm more apt to side with my niece on this one. My sister is proving more and more like our mother (my mom kicked her out of the house at 15 and she went to go live with my dad who isn't her biological father, dropped out and got pregnant at 17 and lived a not-so-fabulous life until she finally turned it all around and is now married in a nice ass house in the South Bay area of LA just now going to college).
Today, after I talked to my niece and after her therapy appointment, she called me back and told me that her parents, who had opened up a savings account for her, cleaned out her savings, money she had been saving from birthdays and Christmases and that did not include her teen checking account she had for her work money.
She was surprisingly calm about it on the phone but pretty pissed. If I had been in her place, I would have cried. I cry when I get angry and frustrated. She wanted me to talk to her mom and I politely told her that I couldn't get in the middle of this one as much as I wanted to, but that's a fucking low-ass blow. I love my sister and I am so grateful that she is but as much as she says she's glad she isn't like our mother, that move right there was straight out of my own mom's handbook. I think my mom's gotten better with time, but that would have been something she would have done back in the day and probably to my sister.
I just had to vent about this one. I mean, who does that to your own child? I know you're pissed off and hurt because she left and I know you're worried about her, but when I talked to her today, she said that she wasn't going to make any rash decisions, but last I checked, cleaning out someone's account just two short days after they move out of your house is a rash effing decision. What's my niece going to do with $400?? Leave the country?? She definitely wouldn't be able to afford to move out on her own so I wonder what she's trying to accomplish other than proving to her daughter that she's still boss.
*shakes head* No advice needed. I just needed to vent because I can't do that on FB.
Besos!
