The back of my SUV is full of things I have bought for the kitchen, the new furniture is still in boxes. I was able to hang some new paintings and another will be finished framing this week. I got a nice silver, double picture frame recently and it was wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap and was in the top drawer of the armoir in my bedroom. Today I looked through digital photos and printed two black and white ones of the grandkids. I get the frame out and immediately something feels strange... I unwrap it and find that the hinges are all twisted and wracked and almost torn off the rivets to the frame. Like someone had tried to fold it backwards. I asked my granddaughter if she did that and she said, "All I did was pop the bubbles (on the bubblewrap)" I was so angry and upset that nothing I have is safe from being destroyed, even something I so carefully put away. I told my daughter that no one is allowed in my bedroom, though I said more than that about not leaving my things alone and how the whole house is a mess.As usual, if I say one thing SHE totally goes off and starts yelling at ME. Like, "I told you we were applying for a loan, I'm trying to get out of here but you still have to bitch at me. I know we're not welcome here. What else do you want me to do?" I said for one thing how about appreciating that she has lived with me for 8 years and never paid a thing?It's not that they are not welcome! It's that my back yard is destroyed by the dog, the garage is totally taken over with her husband's stuff, my office is a disaster, the kitchen is hardly ever free of dirty dishes and other debris. I don't even want to be here anymore.And writing that just makes me cry again.

Be strong, be firm, and stay in control, it's going to be fine.
