Not surprisingly….

OSD managed to rope YSD and BM into the drama surrounding our refusal to co-sign for an apartment. This included both of them calling and texting XH nonstop, bringing up every perceived injustice they've experienced over the last 15 years.

The vast, vast majority of it related to DD and how it's "unfair" that she has it sooooo much better than they ever did. At one point, XH pointed out that DD's mother (me!) makes her own money and it's not DD's fault that their mom hasn't been as successful. Of course their comeback to that was that I DON'T actually work to earn my living, it's just "bribe money" that XH evidently pays me so that I won't keep DD from him. Honestly that made me more angry than anything else they said, because only someone vile enough to withhold her children from their father in an attempt to extort more money would think to accuse another person of doing that. I desperately wanted to say that to them, but I know there is no point in engaging. 

Ultimately, all this drama led to XH selling the tickets he'd purchased to take them to see Taylor Swift. The tickets cost thousands and he just wasn't interested in being that generous to them at this time, given how ungrateful they are for everything else we've done. But I guess denying the Taylor Swift was a bridge too far, because OSD unfriended me on Facebook and deleted the posts and pics she'd shared of our NYC trip last summer. And now neither of them are speaking to XH or me. They're supposed to come to my house for our big Easter celebration, for which I've already bought gifts for them, which has been a tradition for the last 12 years or so. It'll be interesting to see if they show up or not.

Good for him!!!  I always cheer when a dad finally stands up for himself.  Sounds like you will have extra food so enjoy the night off from cooking.  If she can't swing the fees to rent an apartment, she's not ready.  Needs a co-signer? Not ready.  My favorite part was reminding them that you make your own money and provide well your your bio.  A slam that was so precise they couldn't handle it.  Selling the tickets was a logical consequence IMO. F around and find out. They did.  LOL.

Hahahaha because she knows whoever cosigns for it will inevitably end up paying OSD's rent at some point. God forbid she actually contributes to OSD's higher education.

I had the most exquisite morsel of satisfaction with BM once... YSD had been in a cheer accident that resulted in being airlifted to a hospital near me (their podunk hospital sent her for a badly broken arm)..

Well.. my DH and I got to the hospital ahead of the helicopter.. and well in advance of BM.. But.. when we were in the room with YSD... her mother blows in.. and loudly demands to know what is happening.. SHE is the MOtHeR!..!!!  Well... perfect timing because the admin woman had just come in and was getting ready to take all the forms information.. including financial responsibility.. I just pointed at BM.. hahaha.. so she had to deal with all the bills!

Talk about bitting the hand that feeds you.

OSD is going to end up nothing if she's not careful.

I am so proud of him for selling those tickets! It is exactly what he needed to do to put them in their place.

You have to disengage, From your DH Xlaws.  And unfortunately from SD.   If all you mean to her is $. You don't need that
