My husband and I have been married almost 19 years. His daughter moved in with us about 4 years ago. Don't want to go there on how it happened. My discussion is this: I guess Family Members only care about their family when THEY want to. One day, she's real enthusiastic with her Dad about football and/or Wheel of Fortune in tv. Man, she's really into it! Next day, nada, nothing. No wanting or showing any desire to enter into these two things. I'd thought living under the same roof, this would not happen. I do know that if the family doesn't live in the same house, that family seems to ignore situations and things. But living under the same roof??????? Thank you for "listening".
Over my dead body, Step-daughter will change the POA or change insurance beneficiaries. She's already has her Dad's name on her checking account. Working on that on how to get it off.
ClaraCB. We could get her to leave; but, where would she go? No one wants her including her sibling. So, we let her stay. No, I'm not on my pity pot for that thought. I know we are enablers for this one part. God is helping us cope. Hubby and I both know about co-dependency because both of our spouses were alcoholics.
CarlaCB. Yes, her behavior does bother him. Ok, I understand what you say. What's sad is that she gets him all hyped to watch something then is not around when the show is on.
I'm tired. Neither Hubby or I want her here; but it is what it is.
