Therapy

DH and I had a good session with our therapist today. It’s been really helpful to go and try to sort out all the poopie stuff in our lives right now, including the antics of OSD and YSD. OSD and that NGSOBSIL were arraigned on Monday and their trial is set for May. There’s not much we can do about the stupidity there.

As for YSD, what, is she sociopathic or something? There are missing pieces there for sure! She is driving around in another car–we don’t know if it’s rented or if she bought it. She hasn’t supported TLG since day one, it’s been DH, me and the father and yet she keeps claiming head-of-household and takes the child deduction. It’s especially maddening because when she did it last year, she said that this year she’d let the father take the deduction–nope, must have misunderstood that one!

Or as DH says: how do you know if YSD is lying? She opens her mouth!

She doesn’t keep us informed about her work schedule or her whereabouts or whether or not she’s arranged for TLG to get picked up or a sitter or what have you. I’ve been documenting it all along but isn’t it a shame it has to be this way? Why can’t she think of TLG’s welfare first above everything else?

The therapist says that YSD exhibits this cluster of behaviors which includes this self-entitlement piece. If she wants something, (like another car) she will lie, cheat and steal to get it and her attitude is, “What do you want me to say?” or “What else was I supposed to do?” She has no empathy for other people, not even for TLG. How can a mother not be in tune with her child?

Thank goodness for the therapist, she’s really helping us a lot!
