Seriously? It’s not that simple. They certainly have a right to make her pay rent. What they don’t have a right to do is make her work so much that her ankle didn’t heal well after her surgery. It’s been months. Her ankle should not be hurting this long after surgery. It’s not like they’re telling her to wash the dishes and clean the counter every night. They’re trying to make her go in the backyard with a goddamn shovel and dig out a hole big enough for a fu cking swimming pool, all while her injured ankle still hurts and will probably need another surgery because it wasn’t able to heal correctly the first time! This has been going on for too fu cking long.
edit: Paying rent is one thing. Her in laws trying to control all of her money is another. They’ve asked her for some hefty “loans.”
That’s a fair point I guess, but they treat her like a fu cking servant. Makes my blood boil.
Honestly @cbbrown, the others are right. You need to get out of there asap. Take Jasper and go. Do you have any friends you can stay with until you find your own place.
I told my partner I want to discuss a better plan for us to move out. It can’t be when her parents are home though they eavesdrop.
She still plans on giving them money but to move we have to cut a few things. She asked if I would give up soda for a while, she will stop buying fast food for her lunches little stuff like that
I believe that what @cbbrown is experiencing is nothing less than anti gay terrorism by her in laws. Pure and simple. I’ve been on the receiving end of this kind of thing myself in the past.
My partner knows I’ve had enough she finally realized it after for the thousandth time they wait until she’s at work do they come over and yell at me. Then the thing with Lola coming up missing just made matters worse for me but I do suspect they got rid of her and they just want me to take the blame.
We messaged each other on face book. She said at least a hundred back each pay I made her promise to stick to it this time and I promised not to self harm. She insists with that much money put back she can pay off her fine to reinstate her permit in a month.
Sounds reasonable. Maybe you could just treat yourself to a soda just occasionally and not cut it out completely. Regular Coke has about 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 12 oz. can. Some people claim the aspartame in Diet soda causes cancer and that diet drinks actually makes you gain weight. The next day you will hear the opposite claim on the internet. Take your pick. I drink Diet soda.
