I am going to skip around over the last 7 years, as there are so many stories to tell and I cannot possibly manage to get them perfectly in chronological order. So to start the stories, we will discuss my step daughters’ hair. Yes….. their hair.
The kids were attending school in a nearby town, and unfortunately, DB worked at the school as a paraprofessional. The first morning that I had been there, the girls asked if I would do their hair, and I happily said yes. I had no children of my own at that point, and was thrilled to be able to do all the little girl things with them, hair included. I can’t remember the exact way I did their hair, but it’s likely it was a braid of some sort, obviously something more than Dad was capable of doing. They got dressed and ready for school and headed off to school on the bus. DB was always waiting for them when they’d get to school so it wasn’t unusual that Dad would receive a message shortly after they arrived at school. DB always had a complaint about what he did the night before or something he may have said. Whatever it was, the kids always told her everything (which we eventually were told that DB continued to question them the minute they walked in the school).
On this specific day, the girls arrived at school and it wasn’t just Dad that got a message. My phone also chimed.
DB sent Dad a text about how disrespectful and how inappropriate it was that I was doing their children’s hair. She went on about how I’m not their mother and that I need to know my role.
Then the message she sent me was thanking me for being in the kids lives being I’m “with the girls more than their own father even is”. She then included a comment about how Dad is doing inappropriate things and sending her inappropriate pictures and she “respects me so much that she felt she needed to share that information”.
Note taken…. This woman is starting off crazy.
