Yes, haha, this isn't even registering for me right now tbh. Then she also bought a $2,000 king charles cavalier this year. After I repeatedly said we couldn't do it. We already have two dogs. And had two cats.
But, she sold both kids on it in spite of my straight "no" and then put down a large deposit before she confronted me with it all again.
Now I am cleaning up three dogs #### in the back yard, while playing with the new puppy and getting up to let it out. All things that were supposed to be covered by other people... but of course I knew would fall to me.
Pretty similar to the Disney World process, except she also used my Sister and father on me with that one.
This year she has been soothing me by telling me that she'll be the breadwinner, my "sugar mama" and so on after she finishes school. I think she could tell how worn down and tired I am of all of it. She's playing with me though. She's saying those things and then the same night inviting someone (a "mentor" in the field) over to spoon her with hearts in the message.
I don't think my self worth has ever been lower. It has been really, really low several times this year but this time I feel like dirt.
Thank you all for letting me shout into the wind. I'm not seeking advice I just don't even know who I can really talk to about all of this. I'm embarrassed and hurt. I could talk to a therapist, I have talked to a therapist about this in the past. I just don't think it will help me a huge amount right now, talking about it is just making me more angry in the moment and I then have to spend a considerable amount of time calming myself down. I have been successful in remaining mostly calm. I do think I have an ulcer right now.
