I'm In The Dog House Again..... I Give Up!!

Tweet

I can't win for nothing! I'm so sick of trying so I'm giving up once and for all. Here we are, doing everything we can for my parents and yet we're the bad guys. Yesterday hubby and I were in Climax passing out flyers on Lil Tux, the cat that the Spay and Neuter Clinic switched with 3 other cats and a lady took home and set free before she realized it wasn't her cat. Now he's gone and we haven't seen him since the 15th. However, after talking to some people, one guy who lives next door to the lady who took him, said he's seen him the day before which was Sunday the 27th of Sept!! Whew! That's great news and here I am so excited that I want to tell my parents! (Yeah, right) Well on the way home, we ran into a huge storm! I mean, rain just pouring out of the sky like someone had turned on the faucet on us! It lasted a few minutes then we drove out of the storm, thank God! Then I called my mom to tell her and she had to call me right back because she was in the middle of something. Well, she called me back and good grief, the woman renter had gone off on mom again and wouldn't shut up. She called mom everything in the book but a white woman and wouldn't shut up even for her husband so mom called the police (duh?! She did? What's the occasion?) The police finally show up after they were called several times, oh, they were in the middle of a shift change is why it's taking so long.... finally they show up and tell my parents that this b*tch can do what ever she wants as long as she's on the property and that there's nothing my parents can do about it and that the renters have more rights than they do! Mom said the one cop was an arrogant jerk towards them. When the cops left, the husband told mom that they'd be out on the 4th of next month then proceeded to tell her to keep the deposit to pay the electric bill. Mom told him that it's not for that but for the damages that they have done to the place (which is a lot according to mom) and the husband turned on mom saying this and that this needed to be fixed but my dad hadn't gotten around to it and he guessed that he never will. Mom was just carrying on about it because she was so damned hot to trot mad and I'm worried that if she doesn't calm down, she'll have another stroke and dad could have his last heart attack. I asked her if she wanted me to come up there and she said no that the idiots are inside their place now and everything is quiet for me to stay down here. Ok fine. Knowing that they need that rent money to survive, and repairs on that place next door, plus the electric bill, we can't support all of this by ourselves so I sent a text message to my two brothers and foster brother and explained in the shortest way possible and explaining that mom and dad will need help with the lack of rent money as well as repairs until they're able to rent the place again for we can't do this alone again and everybody needs to put in their 1/4. A few minutes later, I get a phone call from mom asking what I had done and said to my brother and to please not call my one brother and tell him (the one that I'm not on speaking terms with) which I told her that I had already sent him a text message and told her what I told him and my oldest brother and foster brother, all except that they'll need help and that we can't do it alone again. Why? Because I'd hear it all over again about how she wishes she could just die or I wish I never had taken your money to begin with bla bla bla so I didn't tell her. You see, I've been giving mom some money here and there, $40. here, $60. there for the past 6 months if not more and the last three times was $100. which was given within the last 2 months! She takes the money and says I wish you two would stop this and puts the money in her pocket. Mixed message here? I don't mind helping them but damn it all! Do I look like a bank? Why shouldn't I tell my brothers??!! It's not fair that we're left behind to hold the bag while they continue to live out their lives and are able to take cruises and go on lavish trips while we're here only dreaming of doing such things!! My middle brother has been to so many places including overseas!! My oldest hasn't been to many places but he has gone on a cruise last year during Christmas time. What did we do? Uh.... I took mom and dad to see the Christmas display. No gifts were exchanged because none of us had any money! But you can bet that my brothers had gifts to give their kids and so on! I'm talking ADULT kids!! My oldest does have a young son so yes, of course, he's going to have gifts for him but the older kids.... you get my drift, I'm sure. So anyway, mom is po'd at me for telling my brothers that they need help but yet, mom will take money from me! Is it because she can't tell the same story to them as they tell me? They always tell my brothers something different than what they tell me. I don't know why but they do. So I'm in the dog house once again folks! I can't do a damned thing right. Never have and I guess I never will! If you were in my situation, what would you do? Please, if I'm in the wrong, tell me how. I want to know. I NEED to know!
