You are here

End of my tether

I'm so angry right now I can barely type. If my parents weren't here I would have walked out. So it turns out, brat skid is staying for an extra 2 days...you know how I found out? I wasn't told or even consulted. I only found out because I made a point of asking DH this morning how long she was staying. I'm sick and tired of being disregarded in my own fucking home. I'm sick of being treated like I'm just along for the ride. My parents are upset too; they came to see me and their grandson and spend some time as a family. They didn't sign up for most of their visit being monopolised by BM drama and the brat. All of us are now sat in the living room with the tv on. Nobody talking to eachother, with tension so palpable you could cut it with a knife.

Every time brat is here she creates such an atmosphere, even apart from her behaviour. I'm so upset. I've waited nearly 3 months to see my parents and it's all ruined. I could cry. She's been so rude to my parents this morning and DH hasn't said a fucking word. Brat hasn't even acknowledged my mother's existence, and my Dad got a sullen grunt when he said hello to her. She's been foul the whole time she's stayed here so far (as usual), and no discipline has been dished out, even for the few things DH notices. I thought I'd finally got through to him, but he's in so much denial and is scared to discipline her. So because I've told him my thoughts on this, and the fact she's here for 2 days with no discussion, I'm getting the silent treatment. I'm so close to just ending things. I'm so stressed all the time I'm going to end up in an early grave; I love my husband to the end of the earth, and when brat isn't around, things are amazing. I thought that 1 day a week was a small sacrifice for our marriage, but I just can't take it any more. I just want to pack my things and our son's things, and follow my parents back home when they leave.

I would pack up and leave with my kid. I wouldn't even tell DH until you were literally walking y'alls stuff out the door to the car.

I could have written this. 

No amount of time makes it magically get better, trust me.

"I won't tell SM about change in skid visitation schedule that I agreed to unilaterally with the BM because she'll get angry...after all she hates my kid anyway!"

That was.the.worst!!  Driving up after a looooooonnnnnnnnnggg workweek on a Friday seeing a trail of candy wrappers like bread crumbs in a forest on a supposedly NON skid weekend!!  The sickening feeling you get from seeing that.  You walk in the door and biodad says "Oh yeah, I agreed to take them this weekend because sainted BM had plans this weekend."

I don't think you should leave. I think DH and SD should GTFO. They can get an Airbnb or stay in a hotel. I would seriously like to give your H a kick in the arse with pointy-toed boots and full-on tailbone contact.
