If we oppose her schedule, we get six months of silent treatment.
The biggest problem with Helen is she schedules everything on the date that fits her calendar without regard for anyone else’s. An example: We once celebrated Christmas in February because that worked best for her. Another time, my wife and I scheduled a complicated prepaid vacation so we could be home to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Helen moved his birthday party right into the middle of our vacation.
The control doesn’t end there. It also includes the venue, menu and guest list. She even puts place cards on the table designating the seating arrangements. As with everything else, these are not negotiable. If not complied with, the “offender” is subjected to a minimum of six months of silent treatment and ghosting.
I have thought about introducing them all to each other so they could have a group pity party. I have suggested consulting their doctors or trying psychotherapy. I’m just tired of it. I can’t stand the negativity or their hypochondria.
