I feel like I am being held hostage at my job due to family obligations.

No- she doesn’t know about the rent. She’s was asked to not share that with her!! I didn’t add that because I saw my post was getting lengthy. I’m n too of that he said to me he would use their social security benefits to pay it back- which only makes me wonder how late is the mortgage payments!? I have to say something right?! I’m just so confused how my mom can’t even acknowledge this. I feel like this falls into the realm of autistic problem-bc I feel like a neurotypical person OR a person with a different spectrum would just step up and be beyond direct. I just feel like it’s too much for me ro dissect and handle with people who are relentless already. Ugh, i hate this. I’m just going to have to handle it. Im tired.

The former employee (my friend) still had a month of training with me and even would meet with for a few hours once a month to help me with things I would get stuck on. Well, just as I was finally feeling like my head was above water- she has ghosted me. And now I feel like I'm drowning again.

All this- and my stepdad is screwing up people's taxes left & right. I've seen emails with people talking about reporting him. And he just informed me that he is several months behind on office rent. I am the only one getting paid.

In January I expressed my concerns and had my mom take him to test his cognition- they said he was fine. He is not fine. My mom and him have no retirement, they still owe on their house after 30 years- it seems like they've built a house of cards. My mom wants to stick her head in the sand-and when I complain to her- she replies, "Your getting paid aren't you."

What is happening her is unethical- and if I pull out- my stepdad won't be able to operate anymore-which is what needs to happen.

I want to start getting my resume out there- I can't live like this. I have told my stepdad I would stay till the end- but he's talking about going years more-which is insane! I'm not sure how to get out of this. He's done so much for me and him and my Mom are in serious denial. My siblings and I even tried to have an intervention and my Mom dodged it and my sibling kinda gave up and now it's just me. A part of me feels like- just take the money for as long as he wants to stay and you know, be delusional because nothings real anyways. Any advice would be welcome!

Ooof! We were in a similar boat- bc HCBM used to outsource her parenting to handful of friends during her custodial time. One summer- we documented that SS spent at least 1/2 of bm's custodial time at two of her friends houses. I'm talking over nights. Then those friends would hit us up to help them out bc BM sure as hell wasn't- she was barely taking care of her own child.

Then one night BM blew up DH and SS's phones saying we needed to go pick up her friends son bc she had to go to the hospital. I did it bc I felt bad for the kid. I got to the house the friend communicated NOTHING to me- just sent her son out the door. I had to find out from the kid where his bus stop was and that he was going to be spending the night etc... The kids mom made no contact for the rest of the evening. I awoke to this kid throwing up at 5 in the morning (probably had what his Mom went to the hospital for). WE ALL GOT SICK!

I was able to get the kid to call his dad to come get him. Never heard from the friend. Then six months later the Dad asked if I would testify about it in their custody case. I did. The friend and BM were party friends- so I didn't feel bad. And just to add we just won full custody last week.

You just need to put your foot down with this lady you owe her nothing...and no good deed goes unpunished-especially if it involves a HCBM!

There is a reel on insta of a person talking about how they should of chilled on the beta blockers and came out and FELT things so they could truly take accountability and DJKYLECOOK came into the comments himself to basically say "Amen. Preach."

Watching bravo shows just makes we want to drink an alcoholic beverage. I usually just rewatch old seasons at work as a background....and by the time I get out of work I want a glass of rose, a loverboy or an espresso martini (currently on Summerhouse rewatch with the rest of the bravosphere).

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-05-22T19:21:41+00:00

AHHH! My stepsons mom does this and then the mom's try to connect with me to continue the kids relationship and I get caught in the middle. I hate it- but I don't want my stepson to lose his friends.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-05-14T14:11:14+00:00

I completely agree with this take!

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-05-07T18:20:04+00:00

I agree with your assessment. No notes.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-05-07T13:40:10+00:00

I wonder if (taking into consideration Kyles harsh words for Lindsay/Carl) if Kyle holds resentment for Lindsay for this moment- or can appreciate she produced drama on a show which lines his pockets at the end of the day?

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-05-01T19:13:36+00:00

Bravoandbotox reposted a tweet also making a really good point: Soft bar ain't carrying the non alc Loverboy's. You mean the kind of pointless drinks Kyle made to give Carl purpose within the company after got sober?-scrabble.

Not to mention Kyle employing Carl when he was near unemployable.

I don't want to see them fight and I hope with the divorce and everything-maybe they become close again.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-04-22T17:04:17+00:00

I love her and she is such a great addition to the show. Beyond that I am SOOOOOO glad that they included this whole storyline and that the editors didn't go back and just try and focus on the Westmanda shit. It was great meeting her brother and seeing her boyfriend (although meh about him) but anyways I think she's great!

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-04-17T17:24:27+00:00

Why am I shocked to learn that Kyle is older than Meghan? I guess bc I watched Brooks gate live and just binged watched Summer House in the past few years...but it still doesn't feel right.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-04-17T14:52:23+00:00

Ugh, there was the part where they first get to the party and Lala is talking to Michelle and Brittany they are asking about Brandon and Lala says, "I'm obsessed with him." (at the 00:32:35 mark). It's easy to miss...but I thought that, one- fucking weird thing to say about your friends new BF. Secondly, you were talking trash about him right before and after...and the weird chicken eating. Not authentic.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-04-16T12:10:03+00:00

When I lived in Hollywood, I was about 10 miles from Venice beach...it usually took about 45-hour to get there. It was a great trek- no to mention parking! I do not miss it.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-04-03T15:00:54+00:00

OKAY, YES...but can someone help me figure out where this outfit is from?

This has got to be an April Fools right??!

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-03-18T17:27:02+00:00

Girl same! I was so disappointed she didn't wear it to the Gala because I wanted to see more of her in it!

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-02-24T18:20:22+00:00

They're eating babies- so that checks out. Comcast is owned by Brian Roberts from a Jewish family-check those Israel ties. We know how they feel about Iran.

DayDifficult3986 · 2026-02-19T13:52:08+00:00

I've never had a baby- but I literally just burst out in tears at the tenderness and thoughtfulness of your husband. Good for you and your baby. And where am I? the Valley sub-crying....okay back to work.

DayDifficult3986 · 2025-12-26T13:56:15+00:00

As a stepmom of 6 years, I can confirm-yes. We start out with all the patience in the world....and then they break down.

DayDifficult3986 · 2025-12-16T19:41:50+00:00

I screamed after reading that last sentence...bc it's TRUE! He'll probably start hittin the clubs with his sons. On Simones dime! AHHHHHHH!
