Well, looks like I’ve been seriously slacking. My bad. I haven’t been online for any amount of time in the last few days. Good grief, when the shit hits the fan it really hits the fan, huh?
Anyway, I don’t really feel like making a long post right now. I’m going to go take a nap soon. Let’s see… My Grandpa-in-law has dementia and his wife (step-grandma-in-law) is too old and frail to take care of him so he’s going off to a nursing home. I don’t personally agree with that, being of the mind that children should take care of their parents-in-good-standing when they’re old and feeble, but who am I? The in-laws think if they can ship ‘em off to a home then that’s where they should be, end of discussion. Hopefully my children don’t learn from them when they’re older (and I need my diapers changed again). That’s kind of sad, really, because I enjoyed talking to Gramps about stuff and I’ll miss that. We’ll go visit him in the home but I’m pretty sure he’ll never be the same again.
Then my brother-in-law decided that my little sister was too mouthy. My little sister is 16 and she and my mother moved in with my other sister and her family when my mother got sick. Well, my brother-in-law is a fucking jerk and tried to choke my little sister last weekend. Of course, no one told me until too late or bil and I would have went ’round ourselves- which everyone was trying to avoid, I guess. Anyway, my little sister called social services and don’t you know my other sister, her fucking husband, and my mother (who is afraid of getting kicked out) told them that my little sister was making shit up? Here’s my mother crying to me that she feels bad because lil’ sis looks like the bad one here, but what’s she going to do? I say “Move in with us” and she just shakes her head and says….”I don’t want to hurt other sister’s feelings.” Ain’t that some fucked up shit? And they wonder why the poor kid has problems? That’s ok because I’m calling social services myself and looking into bringing my lil’ sis here to live. To hell with everyone else and their damned feelings. And to hell with other sis for putting her husband above the rest of her family’s welfare. So what if he beats the kids? So what if he beats the dogs in front of the kids? So what if he cheats on her in front of the kids? She’s put too much time in that marriage to just let it go. But to hear that idiot tell it she’s the mature and responsible sibling. Yeah, right. I guess it’s time for the big sister to shove the definition of mature and responsible down that bitch’s throat. She’s taking a psychology course this semester and I hope the fucking cow learns something. There’s no hope for my mother, of course, but I hope my sister does something before she fucks up one more generation.
I remember one time her husband tried to take Lil’ Miss “in hand”. Oh no, motherfucker, that shit is not popping off. I don’t let any piece of shit man put his hands on my children. I don’t care who they are. It was on. My boyfriend at the time had a stern, um, “talking to” with him and that was the last time he even looked sideways at Lil’ Miss. I don’t care how many fucking guns the son-of-a-bitch has, they’re not enough to keep me from protecting my child.
Pardon me while I seethe. I’m really not in a good mood.
Oh, and my check never did come. My subsequent check came and everyone else got their check’s but mine? Who the hell knows. They’ve finally agreed to stop payment on the other one and cut me a new one. About damned time. Honestly….:noshake: It’s probably the mailman-on-crack we have. He probably forgot there’s someone living in this house and went to the bar with my check. Shoot, I wouldn’t put it past him.
Ok, this post is getting too long now. I went into rant mode for a minute. My bad. Funny thing is I didn’t even mention my speech professor and why I’m going to hog tie the heifer and shove my foot down her throat. That, my dears, is a story for another time.
Now, I’m off for a nap.

Dang, girl, I think you are doing the absolute right thing by bringing your little sister to stay with you….she would definitely be much safer and be able to have some sense of normalcy. Its a shame…all that she has had to go through and she is still going through shit.
I hope everything works out for you, but it will be tough for you…you try to get your sis, the family might resent that. But fuck em…they should have done right!
i agree with awaiting. i think you’re being a great sister by seeing what you can do to make her living enviro safer. i can’t believe they believed your bro-in-law and not lil’ sis after his history with abuse.
as far as the check? i’m surprised they didn’t say something about oh, it’s in the mail or something. sounds like something they’d do.
Families are a pain in the ass. My parents are okay (now that I’ve sort of trained my mother), but my in-laws? Fuggedaboudit. Even hubby agrees that most of his side of the family is unbearable. I’d fight for my sister, too! I hope you don’t give up.

Noooooooooooooo! I wanna hear that one!!
As for your li’l sis, you’re right. I’ve seen social services do good and I’ve seen them fuck up families, but he shouldn’t be laying a hand on that girl, esp. not on her neck. That SOB is lucky someone’s not pressing charges.
I called my mother and told her I want Lil’ Sis to come live with me. Her response? “I don’t think that would be best for her.” Guuuhhhreat. I was trying to be diplomatic and not turn into uber-bitch but it seems that’s not going to work.
I really don’t care much about family ties. My family’s so screwed up anyway, and it’s the contagious screwed up stuff. Once you let them in it’s like a disease eating you from the inside out.
At any rate, I’ll cough up the professor story another day. I’m still deciding if I’m going to drop the class or not- and not because of public speaking (we’ve got 15 people in the class and I’m so not afraid to talk to that many people).
I admire you for being the lone person to defend your little sister, Jenny. It sounds like she needs you, and good for you for standing tough against all the others who let her get beaten down because it’s more convenient for them. You’re a hero.
jesus, your BIL sounds nuts….be careful!!!
