Ended for a time...
Sistergurl drama has ended. Well, I guess we have chosen not to respond.
You see, mom decided to cut and paste verbatim what I wrote back to her on what I would say to my niece/sister. My niece responded: My mom did not say that and you know it.
To this, we responded: What do you propose going forward?
Her response: Um… Get over it.
And that is where we sit. I’m sorry, but this all seems way to familiar. Looking back on previous journal entries that are tagged SisterGurl, I founds some of the same writings from my sister. Almost verbatim to what my neice/sister had written. I find this to be utter crap. I know my sister is using her kid as a weapon again. I know that my sister is writing these messages to my mom. The chat conversations I have with my niece are worded differently and contain different grammar, words, spelling (as only a text-able teen can do) and punctuation. My goodness… she spells exist… igist. Seriously…
Anyway, Mom called Grams and grams is quite pissed. I now really know where I get my propensity to be a complete bitch when I want to be. It is from both of them. Cold, hard, calculating, and analytical and then the hammer falls.
Sistergurl bought my 13-year-old niece a silver slug bug. Yes, 13 and she has a car. Mind you, they can’t drive in Wyoming until you are 14 and have a hardship. There are forms and such and I don’t know if she will be approved. We will see. I had one, but then I also had a job at the age of 14. She has 8 more months to go before she turns 14. Sistergurl has let my 13 year old neice drive. She drove from Douglas to Newcastle. I think it is about 125 miles, give or take. Anyway, grams was pissed when she heard about that.
Grams also wonders what goes on in that house. Grams thinks Sistergurl is on drugs. The voice of reason sounded off in my head. I don’t know if Sistergurl is on drugs, but here is the thing. Grams suggested that a teacher or someone that my niece could trust could talk with my niece. Frankly, if there is no perceived problem, then what are you going to tell one of these people? Hey my niece is being a twit. My sister is an ass. Can you talk some brains into them??? You see, my sister doesn’t believe there is a problem. If there is no problem then there can’t be anything wrong. So, she will continue to go down this path and it will be hard for anyone to prove anything. How are you going to talk to someone who isn’t really doing ‘anything’ illegal? I suppose we could turn her in for child endangerment, but where would that get us? And what will that do to my niece. I can see her resenting all of it. Grams is still mad about the past too. Me, I just want to be done with it. Mom and I both have parameters that we both will not budge on. Seeing spermdonor is one of them. Enter the house where I grew up, is another. Mom has a few more. But, frankly, I don’t know. Is it worth it dragging all this crap through the mud? Probably not.
Anyway, As with most things of importance, I slept on the last message the called my mom and decided that doing nothing was the appropriate course of action. I don’t have the desire to fight or anything like that. For mom, she will remain silent. Me, I will continue to interact with my niece through facebook. Grams will just get the lowdown from us both.
I know my niece is starting to push the limit. I predicted this way back when. 13 is the age it will start. By 16 sistergurl won’t know what hit her upside the head. Then, there is her son. That should just be a trip for her. Mama’s little boy is going to shatter her heart into a million pieces. More power to her.
