My entitled family wants to take my house and give it to my brother, even though they kicked me out of their home because they had «no space» for me…
My father is still a man of few words around me though. Someone pointed out that changing now after so long of treating me as the opposite of Dan, means he doesn’t know how to connect with me anymore. And I think they’re right.
I don’t mind the way he is now though. My mother has also developed a habit of saying she’s sorry about every little thing in my presence. Dan told me that she and my father have been reamed a lot by extended family and their counselor.
And now my mother feels like she needs to apologize for everything. This is all a stark contrast to how they used to treat me. Also, I didn’t talk about before what Ex Syl’s opinion was on Dan borrowing my camper so his son could have his in Ex Syl’s old bedroom.
Well like a stereotypical bully she looked down on him and mocked him about it because now he’s living like a bum, as she put it. But Dan took it all in stride and asked if she was done yet, because he knew this was exactly how she’d react. And he just plain doesn’t care anymore.
She’s borderline dead to him, and her insults were on deaf ears. Then he pointed out to her that he was living out of the camper because he was putting his kids ahead of himself so his son could have his own room. Something his ex never did, despite being their mother.
She just weaponized her children and pregnancy to keep from working and to emotionally blackmail everyone. Then he asked her to remind him how that was working out for her. Mind you this was early on in their divorce.
I’m sure you can all guess her reaction. Dan said his ex did have quite the tantrum about my recent posts. But no one has bothered to contact me on her behalf to take them down.
So she just has to live with a well-deserved shame. She has been trying to act nicer to Dan lately. Guess the grass isn’t so green living with her parents.
Dan tolerates her as the mother of his children whenever they meet. But nothing more. He will never take her back.
He’s told me that he can never look at her like he used to. And the very thought of her turns him off emotionally. So Exil pretty much has no chance of reconciliation.
I have no new info on Exil’s affair partner. His social media is still locked down. Same with Exil’s.
And it’s likely to remain that way as long as I have a chance of reading them. Update 8. Happened in the middle of the night-slash-very-early morning on the 1st. I suspect it was my Exil.
But the person my cameras recorded was wearing layers of heavy sweats, and had their face wrapped up along with big glasses covering the eyes. You couldn’t really tell if they were a man or woman. They came on foot too.
So no identifying a car. They did look about Exil’s height though. But that’s not much in the way of evidence on its own.
If it was Exil, she knew about my cameras. So covering her face and body for petty eggy revenge was probably the smartest thing she’s done in years. Way to finally put her college degree to use.
By egging a beat up old pick-em-up truck. The egger showed up around 3 AM. I was deep asleep, and didn’t hear anything.
Whoever it was that appeared that night, quickly threw a dozen eggs or so, all over my truck. They didn’t attempt to do any more damage at least, and were gone in a flash as soon as the last egg was thrown. I didn’t see the mess till I was leaving for work in the morning.
I ran my truck through a local car wash during my lunch break. That took most of the egg off. Had to scrub it a bit more later after work.
Egg really isn’t good for the paint. But the truck is from the 90s, and doesn’t exactly look mint anyway. I did take photos and file the police report with the CCTV footage as evidence.
But so far nothing has come of it. There was no real damage other than my minor irritation and $15 at a car wash. If Xyl did do this, then she was smart enough to only throw eggs and not key my paint or slash my tires.
So my insurance wouldn’t be involved. I don’t think much will come of the police report as the cops seemed to dismiss it as a probable prank by a teenager. I get they were probably overworked.
But at least the report will keep a paper trail in case of future incidents. I waited till now the post because I wondered if anything else would happen. But no.
Just right back to peace and quiet. I would appreciate any good advice on the matter though. Just in case something like this happens again.
Update, asked around with some people on the street about cameras possibly seeing the person who egged my car. I responses ranging from we don’t have cameras to it was Halloween and people pull stupid pranks. Let it go.
The few people who were helpful told me that I waited way too long to ask, and the footage auto deleted. So basically the egger got away. But if it was Xyl, I’m guessing she had to walk around a half mile in those sweats just to not get her car spotted on camera or something.
It wouldn’t surprise me if she questioned if it was even worth the effort. Oh well. I guess I’ll just wait and see if the egger comes back next year.
I did hand out printed pictures of the egger though. And even stapled a few up on posts. So now people in my neighborhood are aware at least.
The tenants renting out two rooms in my house have stayed out of it. And I don’t really blame them. It’s not their problem.
