#y'all it is a weekend of drama apparently#so a few years ago my dad and stepmum and i went to scotland#while there my stepmum kept looking for a skirt with our family tartan but never managed to find one#so for her birthday that year my brother and i bought some wool tartan and had it shipped to canada from scotland#and i hand sewed her a skirt out of it#she genuinely loved the skirt and wore it all the time. all the time!!#in may of this year - my dad and stepmum got married. her parents live in france and her dad is v sick so they couldn't be there in person#so they hired a videographer to film the ceremony so her parents could watch it live from france#they missed the wedding tho bc they had to also attend a baptism that day and my stepmum said not to bother watching the wedding if they#were algo going to go to the baptism (the baptism was at 10am france time and the wedding at 7pm france time they could've done both easy)#but anyways. so stepmum tells her parents not to watch the wedding and cancels the videographer#she's been upset since that happened and every little flaw with the wedding has now made her even more upset#basically- every guest is having their entire lives nitpicked bc my stepmum has decided to find her voice and let people know when they've#upset her. which great! tell people well they've crossed a line! but she's going through like 10+ years and critiquing every little thing#like one time in 2017 i came home with dirty clothes and did my laundry at the house and 'i was taking advantage of them'#or my brother's gf was inconsiderate and rude for wearing shorts around our house (it was 20°C?? everyone was in shorts?)#anyways. my dad said this last week my stepmum has gone through and thrown out everything me or my brother ever gave her#INCLUDING THAT SKIRT I HAND SEWED ESPECIALLY FOR HER#my dad rescued what he could and hid it (luckily rescuing the skirt!) but like. wtf#for the first time my stepmum's name really suits her. she's acting a real Karen rn#and like i know she's upset that her parents couldn't watch the wedding- but that was literally her doing?#and even if they had purposefully chosen to miss it - that doesn't excuse hurting other people bc you're upset#anyways. suffice to say i don't think I'll ever feel comfy in that house ever again#and the search for an apartment out in NL might have to begin sooner than initially planned#I'm not even super upset by this just. baffled by how ridiculous it is?? like it feels like something out of a bad soap opera
