Part deux, dsyfunctional family saga
Well, AD (adult daughter) has been gone now since Monday morning when she left for work. She still calls, but speaks only with her father. He told me that he told her if she ever hits me again, he'll kill her. I guess that's supposed to make me feel protected, but frankly, I'd rather see her deal with her anger issues and explosive destructive eruptions than to be threatened by her father. It annoys me that she has not attempted to apologize to me, and that he is basically taking her calls and treating her normally. She obviously hasn't moved out, which is what we want; she's simply removed herself from the situation until she thinks its safe to come back and resume the same tense living arrangement we've had for more than a year now.
My husband has always catered to her, would not allow me to punish her, which is why she and I, and he and I, have the relationship we do. When she's totally out of the picture, he and I are fine. When he's totally out of the picture, she and I still don't get along; she treats and speaks to me as if I'm some type of moron. I wonder if it will ever change? Even though I've prayed and prayed about peace in my life, it hasn't come yet. I get discouraged, and I know I should still be hopeful and have faith that things will change... some days I just can't feel that way.
Thanks for listening. Kel, thanks for the info, I made a note of it, if you wish to delete your comment. ~ Anna
