All In The Family Part 2...

It has been a couple of days since I last posted. I am going to continue with the last thread.

As I was saying, my sil now says that I am a liar, and that I should be happy, as I have "ruined her marriage"....sigh. That was not my intention. I was kicking myself for even telling dh, and then I wasn't sure that he should call her. Regardless, the problems with her marriage don't lie with me. She needs to be angry at her husband.

As I mentioned, my friend, Lisa, had some interesting things to tell me. She said that the "touching and feeling and comments" started right from day one. However, the heavy handed stuff only happened when I was busy in another room. Terry would grab her butt while following her up the basement steps, or he would say that he loved yellow underware, after spying on her when she bent over to pick up a box. He tried to kiss her, he wanted her phone number, he told her that her husband was a very lucky man and he told her that he could picture her body naked by just looking at her........ewww. I never knew this was happening. She didn't tell me she said, as I was already stressed out with everything else.

The topper came when, on the last night that we were at the house, I decided to have a "get together" with all of my friends on the block...ie: neighbors that had helped, my friends, etc. Now, Terry had shown up earlier that evening and said that he had a commitment, and that he was not sure that he would be able to make it back. I told him that that was fine, as were done, and that we were just going to hang out. I didn't invite him (contrary to what he later told my sil), as I knew that we would be drinking, and he is a recovering alcoholic. So, we are all on my deck, laughing and drinking and such, and around 10 pm, I look up, and here is Terry! He looked at me, then looked around, and then disappered, back to his truck I assumed. It was weird. I definately got the feeling that he showed up thinking that I would be alone (there weren't any cars parked in front of my house at that time, and Lisa had her hubby's truck, and I don't think Terry reconized it) Anyway, just about that time, Lisa decided that it was time to go home. After saying goodbye, she went out front. Unbeknownst to her, Terry had not left. He was sitting in his truck. Just sitting there. She saw him, and he asked if she was going and she said "yes, that her husband was waiting for her". She got in her truck and left. This is where it gets creepier. Terry, evidently, decided to follow her! She told me that she had never been so freaked before! He followed her all the way down a major road (no where near where he need to go to get to his house). She decided to make a couple of turns, to see if he was indeed following her, and sure enough, he did! Finally, she decided to pull into the Police station, as she didn't want to lead him to her house (even though her hubby was home, she didn't want Terry to know where she lived, smart girl). So Lisa pulls into the PD, and Terry keeps on going.

Again, I am finding this out 2 and 1/2 months after the fact. So, when my bil tried to turn it all around on me, and say that I "encourged him to come over and not to tell my sil", dh made sure to mention all of the above to his sister. If she wants to hate me, feel free. But DO NOT call me a liar. She needs to start paying more attention to what her dh is doing.
