Help! The Scent of My Laundry Soap Is Tearing My Family Apart.

Grandmother babysat her granddaughter in her son's home while they were working from home.

Her son and his wife are upset with her for the scent her laundry soap leaves behind.

People have stopped in front of her house just to smell the air when she's doing laundry.

People get to be unfair and inconsistent in their own homes.

I thought cutting him out cold would get me past him, but I intrusively think about happy moments and the way he loved me, our dreams, our plans, our sex life, and our jokes all the time when I'm trying to move on with my life.

I'm grateful that the kids are safe but I still can’t move past trying to find red flags that would have warned me about this earlier in the relationship.

He treated me like an absolute horse-poo, acting like my best friend, getting cozy and even asking me out a few times.

At first , I accepted the rowdy early-teen years and forgave him, because being a teenager is never easy.

Now our high-school years are over, and every time I think I’ve finally seen the last of him, he’ll show up in my life again.
