Guest guest Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, Thank you all for the responses! It helps so much to know there are other people in a similar situation. I went out and tried to have a reasonable conversation with her on Sunday night, trying to let her know that I was taking . She tried all of her tricks from emotional blackmail, threating to call the rescue and lie to them, she tried demoralizing me, etc. I just stayed calm. She told me that it was fine, just take (my horse) and leave Tyler to die. Then she said was just a status symbol to me, so my husband just put his arm around me and said " That's enough, there is no reasoning with your parent's, let's go honey. " A few hours after we left she called our house. I let the machine get it. She said 'Hello this is Margo (her name, she usually calls her self mom, so passive aggressive) and went on to say how they are not ALLOWING me to move until July 1st. She said she called the rescue as well, just to ask how to better separate the two horses. She said not to even try to take a trailer on the property. And when I do, make sure it stays off the grass. Oh and I can no longer have her bridle (ok then!). She then said she was glad she got the answering machine because she never wants to talk to me again. She also told a few mutual friends that they had disowned me. I guess my only option is to call the police and ask them to escort me out of there? I don't think it is safe to leave him there until July 1st. I am frightened and upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Wow, total insanity. I feel for you. Stay strong. Whatever happens, try to keep your cool. Funny how your BP Mom accuses you of " using " your horse to look good socially when she is the one using the horses to manipulate and control. Typical case of projection, it looks like.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 WOw this is straight out of the Emotional Blackmail textbook - how do they learn to do it so perfectly? I think its funny that she said you are not allowed on her property - but when you go stay off the grass. That's a total mixed message. i love the idea of taking the cops. If I were you I'd take her up on never talking to her again. > > > > Wow, total insanity. I feel for you. Stay strong.
