Not the getaway i had planned
We drove to QLD august 24, had overnight
stops in van. Husband has 3 siblings living in
QLD We had a 2 week stay at his sisters home.
She has undiagnosed OCD. I’ve known her
since I was 17. I knew 2 weeks
staying there was too much, very
uncomfortable. She was already stressed as
another brother wanted to stay as much as he
could, he lives 90 minutes from
Sister, and has FOMO, he uses weed and
alcohol to excess. SIL wanted him to stay with
their other sister, she was stressing about
showering for 7 people.Normally it’s just her
and hubby, now there was 6 and brother wanted
to make the most of our visit. He was put out at
not being able to sleepover.
My daughter is ASD with social anxiety.
when we arrive daughter uses the toilet and flushes 3 times. SIL mentions that
she can hear the 3 flushes. Things settle down though. the next day I go for a walk
with hubby daughter and my son. We arrive back at SIL and she takes me into
another room. She is stressed and verbally attacks me and my daughter saying I
know your daughter is on her period and i saw you hand washing her underwear. I see pads
in her room. Is she flushing them down the toilet, she is amping up and saying it’s not
going to be good for me when you have a huge expensive plumbing bill. My daughter
had finished her period a whole week before we arrived at *****SILand was using
the empty packaging to store her undies washing. I had to make my daughter say to
her aunty my period finished a week before we got here. Later that evening my
daughter is crying in the room she staying in. It took a lot of convincing to SIL for
her to believe me, when i said we have never nor will ever flush pads and wet wipes in
the toilet. We didn’t do anything wrong at all. Daughter did use the half flush on the toilet
hence why 3 flushes. I asked SIL what makes it seems like it is going to block.
We have never blocked a toilet in our life.
The brother in law with FOMO turns up as fully stoned and very drunk, he ends up
going off the deep end and having full on argument with all of us. The trigger word for
this explosion was our govt . Later on he is talking to my daughter and
blowing her kisses and asks if he can hold her hand. She is just looking at him and
not talking at all, she is listening but not reciprocating. He said he would take her
anywhere if she wanted. He was very intoxicated. I asked my daughter to write on her
iPad when we went home 4 weeks later and she said she was very uncomfortable with her uncle saying these things and blowing her kisses.
Daughter does not have developed relations with her aunts and uncles. She is
comfortable with my sister but doesnt engage verbally. She is not non verbal though.
My husband siblings really dont know our daughter at all. Daughter just sits and stays in
her world in a public setting and doesn’t get into talking at all. She is 28 and loves
Nintendo and chocolate.
After the blow up about the toilet that never blocked. I became super vigilant and
hyper stressed. I was watching my every move. I could see my daughter doing the same.😔
It turns out SIL and her hubby were going to overseas on the
second week or our stay. We would be house and dog sitting. I still felt very anxious as
they have 4 survelliance cameras around the home and one in the laundry on the dog
feeder and it picks up voice. There is no cooking in the kitchen, there is a gas cooker outside. In the
cutlery drawer
the spoons and forks are stacked on top of each other perfectly. I cant breathe and I
am triggered. I am mad at her and i had to suck it up. I was in their home.
I dont like her right now. I had my own personal meltdown and was faking and fawning the whole
time, just to get through it.
My thoughts are intrusive and self loathing. I feel that she hates me and thinks my daughter is really disabled. I’m angry.
SIL and hubby had days pre planned while we were there so went to the local RSL ,
with other sister and husband. We had our own things to do so didn’t go.
My daughter came up in their dinner conversation and the stoned drunk brother and
his inappropriate behaviour. Not sure i am ok with this. they barely know our daughter
personally.
On another drinking night, these people drink every day, other sister and hubby were
leaving . I heard SIL’S husband behind me ask my daughter for a hug. My daughter’s room was
right next to SILs husband bedroom. I barely slept. When they went to overseas, we could breathe a
little.
I’m depressed again.
I’d appreciate any support
