Psycho Boyfriend anyone ! ....
So last week I had major drama....... My 16 1/2 year old daughter called me crying and hysterical... The reason, her boyfriend of 3 mos had texted her the day before to break up...... Totally stupid reasons but Texted her none the less...... (what is this world coming to when we can't even break up face to face or with a phone call?) So he continued his texting campaign (unbeknownst to me) throughout the evening THEN had the audacity to call her up DRUNK at 2am (where does he get off?)...... She said a few choice words and hung up (Taught that girl something !)
Here's where the drama comes in......(Lord help me I didn't kill this kid) .... He gave my daughter a puppy 3 weeks prior to this..... He continued texting and calling demanding the puppy..... Threatened MY BABY GIRL and said he was coming to the house (they had Spring Break and she was home alone).... I'm at work and unable to leave at the time so I call Good friends hubby (also neighbor), the Police (non emergency number, of course) and my oldest son at work ! (did I overdo it?! NO not in today's mentality... not to mention I had crazy ex at one time and was not letting my little girl get hurt!) ..... MEANWHILE, Friend and Son go to my house (these are BIG boys.... Dont think Skinny EX will mess with them!) Officer calls me, I tell him story, he calls daughter for ex-boyfriends info to contact him and daughter is STILL crying and scared.... EX is parked out in front of my house with a friend ! PO states he is on his way ! Two cars show up in time for as my Son left work and was not a happy camper and was ready to break this kid !
Sooooo I rush out of work afraid Son will get arrested for Killing kid.... He's very protective of his Baby Sister (& his family for that matter).... Anyway EX demands puppy all the while, saying nasty things to and about my daughter (which doesn't bode well with MAMA BEAR!) I explained to Officer this was not a piece of furniture and under no circumstance was this puppy go back to that jerk !
Anywhooo, I,thru EX's friend, explicited explained to him what was going to happen to him if he continued this behavior. Later he texts my daughter (she was not to text back) BEGGING her forgiveness, begging her to call and promising to get help. I provided him the number for mental health help (I work at a good place)..... Will he get help.....? I hope so.... Will he date my daughter again..... (H ! NO) Been there done that and explained to daughter about her safety and mental stability !
So my question is, Has anyone else had a similar situation..... What was your response and how did you handle it ! ?
Thanks for listening !
Yep!
It would be a far cry from shooting prairie dogs. (which I did a couple weeks back on Boyfriend Chad's family's ranch)
I don't let the two-legged varments in my life get to me, glad to see you're doin the same.

been there with a friend...
Dee, I have had a couple of girlfriends who've dealt with boyfriends who have totally lost it. That's abuse....maybe not physical but mental, emotional and (not her situation but I'm familiar with it) even financial abuse is consider domestic violence. Boys who think they can control girls need to take a ride in the trunk with Maryann and Wanda (reference to Dixie Chick's Goodbye Earl----still think pop singer Rhianna needs to re-make that one) I know you'll make sure your daughter knows he's ill and needs help (not hers).
God bless you girl for getting involved, so many parents don't. You can bet I'll be "Cleaning This Gun" when little bananna boat starts to date.

"Cleanin' this Gun....."
Thanks Anne ! My son jokingly asked if I wanted to call the National Guard...... LOL I told him no I had my own firepower and wasn't going to let my daughter suffer anything from some dumb boy....
Unfortunately before I meet hubby I went thru much worse with an EX...... Difference is my folks didn't care or know how to handle it so they ignored it.... This EX stalked me up until a year after I married hubby.... He only stopped cuz he shot himself dead...
So as you can imagine from that I am VERY protective and leary about dumb Boys and my BABY GIRL !
I also helped a friend through an abusive relationship, the late night calls for help, sleeping on my couch, hiding her out and going to court with her... Not fun and I'll do anything in my power to protect my daughters and my fellow sisters !
Love that song by Miranda "Gunpowder and Lead" ...... We have plenty ! :)
