Last night Joyce took most of her belongings and left the house. I had to keep he kids in my room occupied watching High School Musical 2 so they wouldn't hear the conversation between Nina and Joyce.
Apparently Nina threatened Joyce's daughter Lisa during the conversation, mentioning her NY connections...as I blogged before.
Joyce is an alcoholic, she has missed therapist appointments lately and now she is moving in with a couple who drink wine on a regular basis. I don't see a good outcome on her side.
A few years ago when things were really bad for her in New York, Nina convinced her to come down to Florida to get clean, and she did. However over time things got tense between her and the rest of the family. Sometimes it would be over the money she contributed in the house, sometimes about the snacks she would buy and keep in her room.
It's come down to this, her leaving into an enviroment where it will be much harder to stay sober. To leave her best friend of 30 years...it must be really hard. She never lived with Nina before she came down, they were always good friends since they were teenagers. When you live with someone, you get to know a lot more about them, and unfortunately Joyce got to know Nina as well as I have.
The drama is not over, Nina is planning on calling the Condo management where Joyce's friends live to report her and get them all in trouble. This is typical of her, revenge and bad intentions no matter who gets hurt.
The kids will be told not to call Joyce aunt anymore, they will ask questions...and I have no idea what they're going to be told. They are the real victims of this whole thing. They were used to living with "auntie" Joyce.
Now I'm here, the outsider; waiting for my time to be the target, sooner or later I will be, I know it. I did take advantage of the situation a bit; by cleaning up and throwing away things I had been attached to for too long. The garbage bin is full and I doubt they will notice the extra bags with my old stuff in them.
One thing for sure, I'm not going back to NY.
