I haven't visited this site for couple of months. My daughter has since then done something even More stupid. While we were visiting relatives overseas, she got married to this asshole. She left her phd program. Tried to commit suicide? Her words? Visited psychiatrist and took medication and finally found a Job! Only good thing in all of this. One day she simply showed up at my door. My husband still has an ongoing court case regarding her and her boyfriend. We are all bitter about it. My daughter gained 40 lbs in a year, left phd program and works for her husband. She Never has any money, not even when she gets paid? Also, marriage was a big Secret and she invents stories that her now husband is starting phd program, passing exams? He is not on a list of university graduate staff, nowhere to be found. Bizarre. Yesterday she cut me off again. I said, you have a classic marriage for papers, I am sorry. The guy is following all the steps. Do not involve us in your drama. You want to live this way, your business. I am not financing your life. You got married enjoy your life. She told me all these outrageous stories how her husband will be making outrageous sums of money as nuclear physics expert and he has zero credentials. Is she stupid?! I am Horrified! She is all for him. Says I used to be a bitch now a toned down bitch! All from a kid who volunteered at labs and her mother worked for her and instead of her to help her finish school on time and all "projects" she never got paid for! I still don't regret it but I don't recognize this conniving creature as my kid! She is his puppet.
Has anyone Ever experienced this? I wonder how all of this will end? Both. my husband and I are getting sick and my other daughter is only 16. All this drama made her depressed. Bizarre situation that I Constantly wish to fix and I see that I Cannot. I see that.
