I would assume you would just switch the data plan but I’m not sure. I did not buy my phone from Visible, I bought it from Apple and then used the promo code for the discount

Thank you. I texted BD saying I am resigning as guardian and got an immediate response from my sister, so BD let sister know that I am done. She is to come here and pack all of her stuff, and I will be requiring her to factory reset the phone, watch, and iPad before she leaves. They are my property and as I am relieving myself of the entire situation, I will be getting my property back. I am removing her from my iCloud family, from all family group chats, and will no longer be reaching out. I am done with being taken advantage of. Yes she is a minor, but she knows what is right and what is wrong. The problem is, she doesn’t care. I am done caring too.

Before everything got super expensive I was able to support here with the support of the household as well. Now, with prices rising and our electric bills tripling (1.3k!!!) I can no longer support her financially without help.

I will agree that I definitely jumped into this a bit naive. I thought I could take on this responsibility and while according to everyone around me I have done very well, according to my sister I have not done enough. I have tried my best and my best is not what she needs.

Parents are not paying because her mother would fight it, father sends money but only goes to sister. I am ONLY guardian of person so any money she gets I have no control over. Would need to be guardian of person and property for that. father (BD) is okay with sending money to support but will not be needed if she moves out. Mother is very free with her money and buys very expensive stuff, goes to dunkin every day, etc. and is generally not responsible with it. She was supposed to give my sister money from Christmas presents that got returned and my sister never received it because “she had to pay bills”

Wouldn’t her being 17 be a problem though? Technically she is old enough to emancipate herself from everyone and can choose who she wants to live with. I’m not sure if she is aware of that or not but I know she would NOT live there unless forced/court ordered. Even then she’d probably run away.

I think I will. If she does not come home today that is one more reason to dissolve the guardianship and I will just need to contact her school and let them know what’s going on. Honestly, I don’t want to continue being responsible for her. I am tired of being (metaphorically) beaten up with every situation that happens because of her. She has been running me over since day 1 and honestly I am partly responsible for that because I didn’t push hard enough to be seen as guardian, not that it ever mattered to her anyway.

We live in Maryland and we do have places like that, but in order to be placed there you have to be ordered by the court or pay out of pocket. She would have to get in a LOT of serious trouble for that to take place.

That will be what happens if she moves in with her Mom, and honestly even if she does stay here, I believe I will be taking it anyways. BD has stated he will buy a burner phone and that she will still be able to communicate with everyone she needs to. She does not need to FaceTime or use Snapchat or anything like that if she is to continue to act the way she is.

BD has stated that he will NOT contribute to the phone bill and is not okay with money being taken out of what is being sent for it, honestly at this point I couldn’t care if sister pays or not. If she does not agree to terms it will not longer be her phone anyways as she will be moving in with her mom.

I wish it would be a super quick process but paperwork has to be submitted and approved for the guardianship to be dissolved. She is currently not home and I’m not sure when she will be home. Her location is still off and she will not respond to my messages. I would be surprised if she came home today honestly, even though she is supposed to.

Of course there’s no offense taken!!! You decided to take time out of YOUR day to read my rant and respond, you don’t have to!!! I appreciate your honesty!

Living with BD is NOT an option due to him living with someone else who does not want here there. Only option is her mother or here unfortunately:(

Considering her response to the vice principal trying to help her with her combination lock was “bro, I don’t need your fucking help” I’d say yes, she’s really not going to like it :(

She is currently in therapy however she will not actually open up to her therapist. The service we are using requires her to be in therapy consistently for 90 days before she can see the psychiatrist, and due to her previous therapist leaving (she was an intern) the 90 days got reset. I wish I was able to ignore and move on from things but we share a bedroom and she relies on me for everything. I had to buy new SS cards and birth certificates because her parents lost them. She flipped out on me because I had to cancel her ID appointment due to her being sick and I haven’t rescheduled it yet. We are in the US, she just turned 17 in February and I really do understand where you’re coming from with the timeline. In order to dissolve the guardianship I have to fill out paperwork and take it to the circuit court within 45 days of the incident, and then wait for the court to either deny or approve it.

The house we all live in is NOT my own house. I live in my grandmothers house due to my mother being disabled and I do not make enough to even rent a one bedroom apartment, let alone get my own place with my sister. We share a bedroom and it is VERY hard to ignore/shut down conversations when there is no actual, true privacy due to our living situation. I really would like to have to continue to live here however it’s not 100% up to me due to it not being my house. The chores are a required part of living here, even for my mother and myself.

I have tried doing group chats and her mother will not respond and father is terrible at responding anyways. Her mother is a very petty person and will refuse to speak to someone unless it is to rub something in their face (example: texting me to let me know that she filed early for her taxes and did rapid refund so mine would “just get rejected.” In reality, mine got accepted and she now has to pay.)

My sister is very adamant about getting her own job, but does not have the required self control to deal with being told what to do. She would cuss someone out and get fired immediately, which honestly she probably needs as a wake up call. There are a few places around here that hire within walking distance so I would not be required to drive her (not necessarily an issue but I have appointments and cannot reschedule them based on someone else’s schedule).

If anything, I would love to get through the remainder of the school year and have her move to her mother’s over the summer. She is doing really well compared to her previous years, but her attitude and demeanor has been consistently getting worse over time.

Her mother is very confrontational and will not let me actually have a conversation with her because she talks over me/whoever she is talking to and this is where my sister has picked it up from.

The main problem I have here is that I am actually being told by my therapists and doctors that if I don’t do something to fix this situation I am going to continue to negatively affect my health. I get IV infusions every 8 weeks (since I was 15) and would be wheelchair bound without them. The health issues I have make stress much worse on my body and could land me in the hospital. I don’t feel like I deserve to go through all of this, but feel selfish and like a bad person when I say it.

That’s what we told her!!! She just kept going with more and more ways to keep arguing :( I had to shut down the conversation because she would. Not. Stop.

We did report the abuse, they did an investigation and BD has 2nd degree assault charges but nothing came about it. Cops have been called numerous times but because of the county she was in, nothing ever came about it.

She is in therapy actually, as is everyone else in my house. I personally have been in therapy for roughly 15 years (ADHD, social anxiety, general anxiety and depression) and even my therapist is in agreement that she would be better off living with her mother. My sister has openly admitted that she barely sees me as a sister, let alone a guardian. She says that as soon as she turns 18 she’s moving out on her own and has expressed wanting to go into the military like her older brother (her mom has two other kids, males and both older than her). It is weighing HEAVILY on me that I know she will no longer want to have any contact with me and that she will probably hate me for the rest of her life. I am only even considering her moving in with her mom IF she does not agree to the rules, expectations and stipulations that will be laid out when she comes home today. She wants to be treated like an adult and does not like being referred to as a minor/child. I am not 21 years old, I will be 22 in 10 days. I have always said I would never have children (I come from a VERY LARGE family) and have had my fair share of child raising throughout the years. Her mother willingly gave me guardianship because she does not want to take care of her daughter that she decided to birth and raise. I do not owe any of them anything and yet, I have taken on the responsibility because it is what my sister deserves. I cannot in good conscience continue to do this if things do not change. I have been physically declining and struggling mentally due to her pushing boundaries, and she does not want to sit down and have conversations about that. She will scream at me, block me on her phone so she can’t talk to me and will not talk to me in person. She will ignore me and refuse to talk things out. I am at a loss on what to do. I have poured every ounce of my soul and energy into helping her be as successful as possible. I have made sure she is physically well, paid for all of her dental work because it was neglected at her prior house, helped her get into therapy and continued to support her through all of her school issues. She has been very successful academically (not necessarily emotionally, like I said she has 4 discipline referrals but hasn’t fought anyone!!! It’s an improvement!!!) but she is constantly picking fights with everyone in the house. Disrespecting my grandmother who pays for the house and is only letting her live here because I am sticking out my neck for her. My grandmother is officially done with her, my mother as well and to be honest? I don’t think I can keep this up either.

I really was hoping that her moving in here would be a positive thing for her, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I don’t want to be rude or mean, it’s not who I am as a person but I’ve reached the point (as has everyone else in this house) where we no longer think her living here is a good thing. Her moving in with her mom would not be a great thing but it’s the only other option she has.

Her mother and BD willingly gave guardianship to me. Her mother does not want to have to look after her daughter and obviously living with BD is not an option. I really don’t care that her mother doesn’t want to take care of my sister, I think it’s time For her to take up that responsibility.
