No OJ, they should be loving you, helping you, and supporting you. Not saying horrible lies and messing with your mind.

OMG. I cannot believe she said that. Am very on your behalf.
has she always been difficult?
yes she may be upset but that's no excuse.

onlyjoking9329 · 09/04/2008 23:25

Take good care, and I hope you get a good night's sleep x

ChutneyMary · 09/04/2008 23:35

Oh OJ, I am so sorry that you have to put up with this shit. You don't need Steve's family putting the boot in. Take care and thinking of you all. Sleep well XXXX

onlyjoking9329 · 10/04/2008 00:37

thanks for all your support. Things have to get better, I hope that there can be a way to sort this mess out. Steve would be very upset if he knew what was happening.

Morning OJ, I hope Steve has had a rested night ?

Sorry to carry on about "the" incident yesterday, but FFS, who the hell does she think she is.

You are in your home, which is private property and are completely within your rights to not even let the evil woman in. I am glad you had witnesses and that one of them was Steves brother.

I know you would not prevent her from seeing Steve, but in that little dreamy place in my head I can imagine it on your behalf !

Sun is shining here so I hope it is too up with you.

Much love as always, xxx

VeraSquonkTheBeerGuru · 10/04/2008 07:23

Morning OJ. Hope everything is ok this morning.

So sorry that you had to deal with yet more members of Steve's family! That sister sounds like she needs a slap (want me to pop down and oblige?)

You are so understanding and fab.

I heart OJ.

trulymadlydeeply · 10/04/2008 08:03

and at how you are being treated by Steve's family. I'm sure they're hurting, but so that they are lashing out at you. They have no RIGHT to do this to you. Can you refuse to let them in?!

Hope Steve's brother can be brought onside. He sounds the most reasonable of them all - but that isn't saying much, I know.

So for you, OJ. Stay strong, lovely, and hoping you have a better day today.

LittleMissNorty · 10/04/2008 08:29

Oh OJ ....I am gobsmacked at Steve's sister......doesn't matter how ill her brother is, she shouldn't come back into your home unless she can be civil.....let her spend her time/money/energy doing what she thinks is right....she won't get anywhere and will acheive FA and will miss precious moments with her brother.....her loss not yours.....you concentrate on your own family and bollocks to her.....

{{{hugs}}} for all of you xx

pindy · 10/04/2008 08:59

Hope you had a reasonable night - all things considered.

I always wanted brothers and sisters, but reading this I think I am better off without! Take care of yourself, Steve and the kids, "blow" the rest

TimeForMe · 10/04/2008 09:57

Thinking of you today OJ. Wishing you a lovely day with Steve, one that is eaceful and free from interuptions from his family.

I have to say again how amazing I think you are. I really do not know how you manage to remain so calm. I would have banned them from my house by now. How dare they speak to you this way. I am very on your behalf!

Sending you lots of love xxx

lilyloo · 10/04/2008 10:01

OJ am and for you you shouldn't have to deal with this you are all hurting and taking it out on each other isn't going to help at all.

TheMadHouse · 10/04/2008 10:10

OJ - I am so sorry that Steves family are hitting out at you like this.

This is not what anyone needs, let anlone at a time like this.

I do hope you have a peaceful day with the man you love.

Take care

ajandjjmum · 10/04/2008 10:22

What utter shits. Of course they're sad and upset, but not to the same degree as you - they should be offering you any support they can give.

Thank goodness Steve knows nothing about it.

You are wonderful OJ, you are being so strong for him and your family - and they are your priority. Anyone else who isn't constructive can get lost!

onlyjoking9329 · 10/04/2008 13:27

i am setting up a rota of mates to be here each evening in case his family turn up all together as i don't feel safe around them.
our mac nurse is on holiday til monday so i speak to her then as i am sure she will know what would be best for me to do with all of this, i don't want steve to miss out on seeing his family but i shouldn't have to be scared in my own home either.

NotABanana · 10/04/2008 13:30

Have just caught up as having been on for a couple of days.

So that Steve is home.

So pissed off and with his family.

Had an idea - chain on the door so if it is anyone who is going to cause you stress - don't let them in.

Wishing you a good day.

lilyloo · 10/04/2008 14:56

OJ that's terrible that you have to do that and no you shouldn't feel scared in your own home. Hope the mc nurse can help you sort it out and in the meantime glad to see your friends are rallying round !

bigknickersbigknockers · 10/04/2008 15:05

havent posted before OJ, but I really feel for you. Steves family should think themselves lucky that you are prepared to let them into your home after their terrible behaviour. stay strong

LilRedWG · 10/04/2008 15:53

Oj. Once again, I am so sorry that you have to put up with Steve's family. I hope the Mac nurse ahs some suggestions for you, in the meantime it is an excellent plan for you to have supportive friends around you, especially when the ILs visit. x

yorkiemom · 10/04/2008 18:29

I am soo angry reading this, what sort of selfish bitch would say things like that !
And her bloody boyfriend needs a good slap too.
I can honestly say if it was me (and I know I can't begin to imagine ) I would'nt bloody let then in.

But I know you wounld'nt want Steve to not see his family.
Could you not get a close friemd to have a good talking to them, and if they try anything like that again let them know they will not be welcome anymore !!

Sorry if my post is not making much sense but you really must have the patience of a saint, and I just feel so pissed off about the complete lack of support you get from them.

Keep strong oj, and remember Steve is right where he wants to be at home with you, his lovely wife and kids xxx

captainmummy · 10/04/2008 18:56

Any one with half a brain cell can see how much you are devoted to him, so to throw that at you is just evil. I suppose that when it's all over you will never have to see them ever again.

lucyellensmum · 10/04/2008 20:01

They sound like a charming bunch. I would suggest, if you have the energy, getting a solicitor to write to them to say that they either behave like adults in YOUR home, else they will be excluded. Which IMO you would be within your rights to do. This is a horrible thing to deal with on top of everything else.

FWIW (and im not sticking up for them) my mum was convinced the hospital were ODing my dad, because she was angry and scared and didnt understand that he was actually better off doped up and not in pain. Also his alzheimers made him pretty much irresponsive too. That is not to excuse their behaviour, but so you don't feel so hurt by it. It sounds to me like they are jealous of you almost, you are in control of things (as you should be) and they probably feel helpless - BUT you are his wife, the woman who steve adores and he wants YOU not them. My Dad only wanted my mum at the end, to the point where he would look straight through me like i wasnt there and respond to my mum (it hurt but i was pleased he had my mum - we were very close, i wondered if it was because he could only bear the person closest to him to see him like that). I am so angry for you OJ, i feel like shaking Steves family - Let them make whatever threats they like, but not in your house, you tell them, they either are civil or they dont come in, end of story.

OJ i hate to ask this, but do you have any idea how long steve has?
