Jessica's been gone or about 9 days now. She went to stay with her aunt Ella in N. Caroline. I guess its cool, of course I miss her, but on the other hand it's hella relaxing not to have to constantly keep behind her and on her for a week or so. She seems to be having a good time, I think that as long as her and her stepsister are together, getting into some trouble (smile) then she is in heaven. Forget about boring mom.
Her Aunt Doris went with them along with her 3 grandkids. Jessica has been telling me for a while that Doris speaks to her very meanly, and she told me that yesterday when they went out back to play in the pool, she couldn't find her bathing suit bottom...So since there were no men around, and no one around the house for miles, that she put on underwear and went swimming. When she came in the house Doris tells her "you're not going to be happy till someone rapes your ass", now you tell me...Is that an appropriate comment to make to a 12 year old?
What pissed me off more, was when I asked to speak to Ella, I could clearly hear Ella tell Jess, "I don't want to get involved" and she wouldn't take the phone. How do you not get involved in something that you clearly see as wrong (Jess claims Ella said she thought Doris was wrong for saying it)? This pissed me off to no end, and because I'm about 500 miles away there wasn't much I can do.
Until they get back.
I've decided since Jess's grandmother, and her Aunt Ella act like they are too chickenshit to say anything to Doris...Like they are scared of her. I'm going to have to take the initiative and say something to her. I personally think she's been treating Jess and her stepsister like crap since their father passed away. *sigh
