A Few Months without her

My last post I shared our vacation dilemma and we ended up going but she didn't come (thank the gods!) It was a nice time. Towards the end I could tell husband had regrets and he called her before we left to head home. I overheard him saying he wants her to come to our home for Thanksgiving. Of course, I'm naturally going to be stressed about her presence. I don't even know how to be around her. Since she's left I haven't spoken to her not once. I don't contact her grandmother because I've told my husband I'm not making any decisions regarding her now or in the future.

Everyone but her...

I'm worried about "Jane's" sister. I can tell she misses her and I overheard one side of a phone call between the two. Jane has the tendency to be very rude to her sister by putting her down. I could tell Jane was saying snarky things on the other line by the reactions of younger SD. Jane also has the tendency to make what's she's doing seem awesome and that it's better than what others are doing. Younger SD was talking about the fairy lights I put in her room to make her curtains twinkle.

Now she's the victim.

I spoke to her Grandma on Monday. Let's name the child in the discussion a basic name..  Jane.

So Jane has expressed her feelings to Grandma about how sad she is that we said mean things to her and the only way we could be happy is if she's far far away.

I've been a stepparent for approx 10 years now. When I met my husband and he had two daughters one was almost 2 years old and the other was 4. Their mother basically up and left from Texas to a pacific island and did the absolute minimal amount of work to be considered a mother. After a few years all contact was abandoned by her and they haven't seen or heard from her for at least 6 years. Neither of them remember much about her. 

FWD to now:
