Not under loved ones! why you can choose your friends and not family...

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
I dont know if you remember my psyco SIL What a witch...

That woman will not even acknowledge me if we are in public. We live in the same frigging town. She will talk to me if it is one on one but not if we are in public. We wont even sit together at our daughters games (softball).

At christmas she decided we were not having a traditional dinner at her house because she doesn't like the way Randy (DH) talks to me. is that? She also says because he is late to everything. I refused to talk to her from Christmas to the kids first communion. Then we had to have the party together because it was easier sharing family.

Now she has gotten her nose in where it doesn't belong and I called her on it and told her to mind her own business and to shut up and let me talk.

There has been a family feud since last August when we went on vacation. The topic came up about politics and Randy and I are the only Republicans out of the 8 or so of us. So they got on the topic (while I was drunk) the blasted Randy bad and he has not talked to them for the way he was treated there. Why should he. They should apologize, because they treated him like sh*t.

So MIL called her ex the FIL and told him that he needs to talk to his son and Randy refuses to talk to him. So SIL got involved and e-mailed MIL to tell Randy to talk to his dad, the FIL. That is when I told SIL off! Now she is being all sweet and wants to know whats wrong... So I told her details vague but not of what was actually going on. I didn't tell her of Trey. I am sheltering him so he is not talked about or I get an I told you so. How bad is that?

All these same people will be under the same roof 3 days in a row this weekend. We are leaving for OH on Thursday.

Grace everyone love your non religion democratic self! It makes you, you.

I hope my DH learned not to EVER talk politics again!

Well, not with them, at least. Politics are one of the sparks of life and I hope he won't give it up entirely.

Well I hope not because he is a very inspirational speaker and motivated in his cause.

I wouldn't speak to them either if they blasted me for my beliefs. My sis, dad and I are the only Republicans in my entire family, but they don't give me crap for it. In fact, we make jokes about it instead. Everyone has a right to their beliefs.

As far as the stuff with Trey, I wouldn't tell anyone either. People don't know all the facts and things will get said and get back to him whether they mean him to know or not. I learned that the hard way.

Call me anytime, sweetie! Sometimes just having someone listen who has "been there, done that" can be a life saver. I'm here if you need me!

Are you home tomorrow afternoon? Did Drew have the psycho sexual evaluation?

Re: Not under loved ones! why you can choose your friends and not family...

Just seeing this.

Yes, he did, but not until he was older, about 13, I think. It's basically a therapist talking to him, asking questions (specific questions), and then the therapist making a diagnosis based on their opinion of his answers. Their diagnosis was that Drew is full of hot air - normal teenaged boy behavior. His problem was talking to everyone under the sun about the few things he had tried or wanted to try to do with girls. He has since learned (mostly) to keep that kind of thing to himself.

At Trey's age, there may be some form of play therapy used for diagnosis. It's very common to use this with younger kids as it's easier for them. Yet another reason to have an outside therapist do an evaluation. If it is someone he is already seeing for ADHD, then he will be much more comfortable with them and more likely to open up.
