Praise be sweet mother of god, the Sdiablas have offically left the country. They hung around our home on and off over the Summer and Fall "like a fart that lingers." Since they are both transcient I was afraid they'd be stinking, I mean staying, over the Winter and Spring as well. It is a big relief that they are far, far away for at least a little while.

Still, leaving the country has not stopped the passive aggressive BS. They are already asking JUST DH to come visit them. DH asked if I'd like to go see them and I said NO. He claims he will talk to them about why we aren't coming to visit them but he's also complaining "What will people think."

DH is worried SK's will badmouth us to family after he sets a boundary that he doesn't want to go visit them because they are freezing out his wife. He is right. They will badmouth us. Why is the focus not on putting the kabosh to badmouthing rather than what people will think? This is where DH and I differ. I do not care what anyone thinks.

When OSD was 16, DH begged her to come to his family's Thanksgiving Dinner with us, she said, "I'm not going if SHE is going" and she stomped off. She refused to come in order to punish DH. Fast forward, we're all sitting down to a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner together with DH's family. OSD16 calls SIL cell phone during Thanksgiving Dinner. SIL answers her phone and puts OSD on speaker for everyone to hear. OSD starts crying and says, "I wish I had been included in Thanksgiving. I was left out." Eventually the awkward call ended.

Did DH immediately correct the record? No. Did anyone show any understanding of SD implication that now that Elea is in DH's life that she is being forgotten? No. It was so uncomfortable and frustrating. I did tell his family that we had 100% invited SD but that she refused. Nobody seemed to care about SD's deception. They only consoled DH that it must be so hard for him.

Although SD's have moved, they are constantly sending DH texts and photos. More than usual. The baiting continues. I am not getting involved but I see what is happening.

DH told me that YSD27 had her junky scooter shipped 3000 miles so that she can use it in her new country of residence. This is the same YSD that always claims to be broke. I said, "Why didn't she just rent a scooter once she got there or buy a new one? It probably would be cheaper than shipping it." Dh had no answer. This woman-child is so stupid.

I reminded DH of the time BM paid movers to come pick up a junked out car from our driveway. The car was a relic from before the divorce. I was just happy for the eyesore to be gone so it was fine with me for BM to take it but it literally had no engine. BM isn't a mechanic or anything. DH sent her photos of how it had deteriorated over the years yet she still made conscience decision to pay a lot of money to have it trailered and hauled to her house where she stored this piece of trash car in her garage. Like Mother like daughter? BM has since moved out of state. I am certain that car ended up in the dump. She just flushed money down the toliet. So strange!

Anyway ... DH is on edge about his darling diablas big move. He keeps telliing me this tidbit or that tidbit about what they are up to. He is talking about SD's more than he usually does. Yesterday he made a comparison between OSD and a very succesful Hollywood star. I was like "huh?" at which point he clarified that OSD is actually nothig like said star. His delusional fantasy thinking and fixation is giving me anxiety.

What I predict is going to happen is that OSD29 will get fed up with YSD. Babysitting YSD27 is a thankless and impossible job. YSD is going to go into culture shock and have a complete meltdown. She has no self-control or ability to navigate real-life challenges. She acts out and is impulsive. At this point OSD will call DH crying that she needs him to come control YSD.

In my crystal ball I cannot foresee what will happen next but I sure hope DH tells Diablas to figure it out on your own and get your sh*t together! You're nearly 30 year old women. If YSD is such a baby that she can't handle life then she can move back with her insane BM who taught her to be this way.
