I have wanted to share this story of entitlement for a long time so here goes.
When I was 7 years old my parents got divorced https://onlinedivorcetexas.com/texas-divorce-process-ten-steps/ because my Dad M(65) had an affair with EP F(60). Because my dad picked EP she felt like she was untouchable when it came to us. She would accuse my mom of turning us against our dad. When we wound up homeless that same year she and my dad refused to help because "We can't afford it". That same year they renovated the house my dad won in the divorce and bought 2 new cars but that's another story. By the time I was 9 we barely saw our Dad in person and because of that I would call every day to share what was going on because I didn't understand why he wasn't around. One day I called him and told him I missed him that was it a 9 year old telling her dad she missed him. EP decided I was in the wrong and decided to call me immediately and scream at me calling me a brat and telling me that it was that kind of behavior that caused my parents to get divorced. She told me I was an ungrateful bch and how DARE I make him feel badly for being and over the road trucker. To be clear I hadn't said anything else, I was in tears when my mom came out to see what was going on. To be clear my mom was LIVID. She yelled at EP who said "She's my step-daughter I can say whatever I want she needs to know her place its called parenting". This wasn't even the worst incident of her "parenting". I am no contact now and they both think I am wrong because they didn't do anything and they are my parents so "I should do as they say". Nah I'll stick with my mom thanks. I have more stories but this one has stuck with me my entire life and I felt the need to share it.
