Thank you, darling.
I feel trapped. I'm working two dead end jobs to make ends meet. I'm lucky if I get one day off per week, and that's not enough for the tiredness to drain away. I'm permanently tired down to my bones. Even when I do get a day off, my stepmom finds chores for me to do if she finds out I'm not working that day. I can't just take a day off to relax and (God forbid) enjoy cooking and eating a home-cooked meal. If she sees me deriving joy from anything, however insignificant, she does her level best to ruin it.
I'm months behind in my payments since I was laid off from my real job in 2017. It will take forever to get caught up now that I'm earning half as much. Not to mention working myself half to death while doing so. But that's what I'm expected to do.
My stepmom only gives a rat's ass about a handful of people, and they're all blood relatives of hers. Everyone else exists to serve them and make life convenient for them. When she hollers, you'd best jump. But when it comes to anything I need, I can just go fuck myself.
She persuaded me to move back here and rent her mom's old house in September by promising to take me to Oklahoma to get my stuff out of storage, where it's been for three years. But no sooner had I moved in than she said, "I'm not going to Oklahoma. You need to raise the money to get it yourself." So I'm still essentially living out of a suitcase some eight months later.
Now I'm a month behind in rent due to the COVID-19 staycation. I can't just pay up and leave. I wouldn't have the money for another place even if I could.
I believe the whole situation was designed from the start so she'd have a servant beholden to her, who couldn't refuse to do her bidding.
I believe she intends to get my dad's land and all of his possessions when he dies and leave me with nothing. I don't think she has any legal footing there. She isn't married to my dad, and Louisiana isn't a common law state.
