Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The most likely thing is that your dad did mention your trip to your brother, who told your nada. Dad probably mentioned it without thinking (he slipped up) but he's too embarrassed and ashamed to admit it to you. Older people tend to get sloppy memories, too, as part of the natural course of events of aging, so if he did mention your trip its possible that it was not a deliberate attempt at subterfuge. Does your brother have access to your dad's e-mail, perhaps? In any case, how horrible for you to get ambushed like that. Perhaps its better from now on to just call him a couple of days or even just hours ahead for more of a " surprise " visit, so dad doesn't have a chance to let your plans slip again. -Annie > > okay so i am bit freaked out...i have been NC with my nada for the last year or so. 2 weeks ago i planned a trip out of state and the itinery was sent to my email, and the only person that knew of it was my father who has been divorced from my nada the last 20 years and is not in speaking terms with her. me, my husband, my dad and my 3 kid rock up at the airport, check in and than go to sit down. Suddenly my nada appears with a bag full of presents with the kids. My tongue was literally hanging out....how the hell did know we were going to be there?! at first i thought she might be going somewhere too and it was pure coincidence that she saw us. she comes to the kids and totally ignores me, and my hubby and dad and starts showering the kids with love, kisses and presents (if i could have vomitted there i would have but i was in a state of shock of how she knew) my dad was in shock too as he had told noone! it was freaky i tell you...no one knew of our trip and the only way she could have know is if she broke into my email account...but she is a computer illeterate or maybe she got her flying monkey - my brother to do it for her...scary to think about it but even the thought of a private investigator?! anyone have any thoughts on this?!?!?! its still a puzzle in my mind. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Is it possible that the travel site where you booked the ticket could have accidentally sent your nada the itinerary as well because it stored her email as a contact of yours from the past? Either way - awful! She must have gone through security with the gifts just to ambush you. I bet you were glad to get on that plane! > > okay so i am bit freaked out...i have been NC with my nada for the last year or so. 2 weeks ago i planned a trip out of state and the itinery was sent to my email, and the only person that knew of it was my father who has been divorced from my nada the last 20 years and is not in speaking terms with her. me, my husband, my dad and my 3 kid rock up at the airport, check in and than go to sit down.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 That's really creepy. I have chills reading about it. You must've felt so ambushed and, in a way, violated. I mean, somehow, she found out about something private. Did she say anything to you before leaving? > > okay so i am bit freaked out...i have been NC with my nada for the last year or so. 2 weeks ago i planned a trip out of state and the itinery was sent to my email, and the only person that knew of it was my father who has been divorced from my nada the last 20 years and is not in speaking terms with her. me, my husband, my dad and my 3 kid rock up at the airport, check in and than go to sit down.
