Let's just say my mom is... way... off the mark
I assume you *didn't* know your stepmother worked there? If I'd known, I would have never gone there in the first place. (Except if you wanted to specifically irritate her.) |
You assume correctly. Her and my dad were not speaking to me at that time. They didn't even know I was dating again. As far as they knew my second husband and I were still together. The reason for not speaking was a few months before, I got fed up with the second husband "working" for my dad. He was being picked up at 8 and dropped back off at 5 every week day but the paychecks were showing half those hours. So second husband was looking for a different job. When he told them about the different job, they said if you quit, we won't speak to you. So they had no clue what was going on in our lives.
I didn't speak to my father again until he landed in the hospital. I didn't even know when he and the stepmother split up. I got a call from another relative. In the end, he was glad I was the bigger person and forgave him for his previous behavior.
Oh and that wasn't the first time, he had pulled the not speaking line. I never let it bother me. My thought was always I don't need you anyway.
I had left at 17 anyway. Twice actually. The first time, I lived with male friends for a month. The second time, I got married. (That wound up being a bad choice.)
The funny thing about the first time was once dad found out where I was, he would just call a friend of mine if he needed me to come get him because he had left his car somewhere the night before. First time I left, he just said bye and I could come back when I wanted too.
He figured I was just go to my grandparents.
He only pulled the not speaking stuff after he got together with my stepmother.
