Update for Everyone VIII: He who laughs have the last laugh

[Morning in Atlas]

My mother has crossed the point of no return. There is truly, utterly, no bottom with her.

She had demonstrated that she changed enough to where I didn't believe she would be a danger to me. My dad agreed, and we decided to let the restraining order he had against her expire. I later found out that a literal week after the restraining order expired, she filed a few motions with the court to allow her to walk through the house and take what she wants.

This is a massive problem, given how she's used the divorce and asset division process to steal from me. I caught her trying to steal my camera, and I had to actually go to her house with a police escort because she stole my luggage. In her eyes, she believes I never owned the gifts she gave to me when I was a child, and has the right to take them back.

What was worse is that she filed a motion to force a sale on our house. Essentially, it is either "come up with X thousand dollars in 2 months or sell." Which would leave me (and my family) homeless. During COVID.

I messaged her, begging her not to do it because of what it'd do to me. She responded the same way she usually did, dismissing the problem, and implying I deserved it because . Yes - I told her that what she did would leave me homeless, and her response was quite literally "Well what about when your father removed me from my home?"

You know, like there wasn't a pandemic in 2017 and she wasn't removed from the home for physically assaulting him. Which I have texts of her admitting to. Yes, that's right. She believes that I deserve to be homeless because I took my father's side in the divorce.

I've looked past years of verbal and emotional abuse, including slurs against my disability. I've watched her use my Asperger's to deny what he did to me. But this... this is unforgivable. Pure, abject evil. Evil far beyond anything I've ever seen or experienced in my life. And it's an evil that I want nothing to do with in my life.

tl;dr: I decided to let my mom back into my life and advocated for my dad to lift his restraining order. It turns out her act of love was manipulation to let her steal from me, and she is attempting to make me homeless in the middle of a pandemic. I told her about it, and among other things, essentially said I had it coming because I took my dad's side in the divorce. After all of this is resolved, I'm cutting the cord for good.

It's funny. I could have had her on a harassment charge. The second time I went no-contact with her, she continued to contact me. Actually, her retaliation would be a violation of the restraining order against my dad.

I had multiple people on here telling me I should get an order of my own. And I could have! But I chose not to, because I loved my mother and I didn't want to totally burn the bridge. And what do I get in return for my mercy? The empathy I showed, and the the things I did for her in the divorce? The benefit of the doubt I gave her? What do I get in return for all that?

Her trying to throw me out on the street in the height of a pandemic.

My mother is the Devil.

The hearing went well, from what I heard.

My dad offered to not contest the motion for avoiding service in exchange for six more months - which would allow us to keep the house 100%. He would have had to pay her legal fees for the entire ordeal. She said no, because she wanted to take it to court.

The contempt charge is not sticking, because the judge doesn't believe that she made enough effort. She and her lawyer could have called my dad's lawyer but chose not to.

It's not likely that they'll force a sale, and from what I heard, the judge might even be hesitant on letting her in the house because of the theft. Overall, everything's going to be fine.

tl;dr: Parents went to court over house settlement. Mother and her lawyer attempted to trick the judge into charging my father with contempt of court over failure to serve. My father, being a saint who is far too good to realize when people are playing him, decides to offer a deal where he offers to pay her legal fees+damages.

My mom gets greedy, goes to court. Her and her lawyer get BTFO to the point where my dad no longer has to pay her legal fees.

We won. We won our case. On all fronts.

I'm not going to be homeless. I'm not going to be ****ing homeless.

We still have to pay her back, obviously, but there's no hard limit.

I'm not going to be homeless. I'm not going to be ****ing homeless.

I'm glad it worked out (mostly) in your favor!

Apparently there is a hard limit, but a manageable one.

One of my friends from college was diagnosed with COVID. Very, very worried about them.

[Morning in Atlas]

I just found out one of my good friends from college has COVID. Scary, scary stuff.

[Morning in Atlas]

Y'all ever get so tired you look at a post, think "Damn that's a good post", and forget that you made it?

[Morning in Atlas]

No side effects so far. Except I’m now having trouble making eye contact with people and can do multivariable calculus in my head.

Same, aside from a sore arm.

I miss being a red avatar. You cannot be a good person unless you are a Democrat.

Being a good person is overrated.

Being a Democrat is overrated.  I still hope to someday return to a light green avatar, but 2027 is probably the earliest that happens.

You can always be Dem-adjacent like me. Sure, I have to explain to people that I'm a Democrat when it comes to offline stuff on a monthly basis, but most Dems here get the message that we're on their side.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

One of my friends has apparently going down the rabbit hole of MacArthur-esque Bernie hate.

I regret to inform you that The Algorithms have found us. Facebook is now suggesting that I should add Chris Sununu, Phil Scott, and Corey Lewandowski.

Not like their fanpages. Their personal accounts.

I try not to Post, yet I must Post.

[Morning in Atlas]

All my friends have COVID.

I was thinking of going to hang out with them yesterday. Thank ing god I didn't.

[Morning in Atlas]

Booster is kicking my ass. Went to bed with really bad chills and a fever.

[Morning in Atlas]

My dumbass f**king coworker showed up to work yesterday with COVID. She knew she was symptomatic, she knew her family tested positive, and she showed up to work with the rona anyway.

I'm as thrilled as you can imagine.

[Morning in Atlas]

It turns out I am not literally built different from you hoes, and actually do have COVID.

I'm in good spirits and my symptoms are pretty mild. Still sucks ass. Especially considering I'm gonna be spending my birthday in quarantine.

Five years free from my birth mother. It's a beautiful thing

[Morning in Atlas]

Quickly realizing my current situation is untenable and I need to get the hell out.

[Morning in Atlas]

The patio outside my house wasn't done right. The stones started shifting. My brother got hurt in a fall.

Nobody did anything for a full f**king month even though they knew about the problem. I fell on the same f**king spot. I have a sprained ankle now and spent my night in the hospital.

Words do not describe how angry I am.

[Morning in Atlas]

Moving out has progressed from "considering it" to "actively looking", thanks to recent events in my life.

A huge part of it is the lack of maintenance to the house spraining my ankle.

I regret to inform you that I am listening to 2000s emo again.
