I updated my Bio on 3/27/12 because I thought I was rid of her once and for all. DH was in agreement with me. No more forcing SD15 to visit because at this point she’s only using us to get to her (adult) siblings and cousins’ (DH brother’s kids). She’s a brat, disrespectful, a liar and offensive. If we had more of a role raising her it would be a different case. The PAS has done too much damage. And four to five visits a year is not enough to have an impact. Each visit becomes another opportunity for her to abuse us.
So DH goes to meet Big Sis to pick SD15 up and take her to the airport. Traffic is bad but he makes it within 1 hr of the flight. (yay DH). They proceed to the gate, no action there so they go to the deli. Maybe they had their headphones in, maybe SD15 mouth was rambling over the loud speaker, maybe the plane boarded early, but by the time DH figured it out, they had closed the gate. She missed the flight. From that point on it was really stressful. DH kept calling me with the play-by-play. I was LMOF but I knew that was not going to go over well on the other side. So they thought about flying stand-by. The next flight was only an hour later. SD15 called BM and told her what was up. Of course BPD BM used this opportunity to berate everyone and overreact. BM told SD that it was past her bedtime and couldn’t pick her up later. DH said that didn’t sound right and called to speak with BM himself. BM was drunk, and so was her SO. He knew at that point it wasn’t going to happen and asked the clerk for a new flight reservation. The soonest one he could get without flying standby is Monday 6:30pm. AHHHHH! She’s going to be here the whole weekend.
After all the processing I did to justify my never wanting her here again. Hopefully, since the cousins’ didn’t see her on this trip we can let them take a turn. I set on my couch while she’s still in her room sleeping and wonder how this weekend will unfold.
