They smile in your face...

... all the time they wanna take your place/the backstabbers... (thanks, O'Jay's)

Why is this? I thought the mean girls thing went out in junior high. People that I thought were "friends" pulled a fast one on me. Shame on me for being naive and trusting them, right? The expression is "stabbed in the back" but it feels like my heart has been ripped out of my body. Unreal.

I call my father's accountant and tell her that I'm mailing a copy of the 2008 tax return to the lawyer. Instead of asking "How's Dad?", she reprimands me for not paying the bill, saying we owe her $140. (Like she's really hurting for cash, an accountant in a ritzy neighborhood) I tell her we never got the bill, but I'll send the payment out right away, and she's still nasty. I didn't go down to her level (yay for me), just sent the damn check, along with all the other damn checks I sent out yesterday.

My Dad had opened up a bank account with the little b*tch he tells people is his friend. I knew that was a bad idea, some relatives and neighbors said that you can't trust the little witch with a b. I tried to talk him out of it, as usual, but he did the hand waving thing and the loud "no, no, no" he does. Drives me nuts.

We go to the bank, and guess what? The little b*tch closed it out already. She took his $ and ran. Goody for her, but I don't know how she sleeps at night.

Sadly, today would have been my parents' 47th Anniversary if my mom had lived. They say she's at peace, she's in a "better place", yada, yada, yada. I can't help but think that she must be looking down and crying, watching all the turmoil that is going on, the way the little b*tch befriended Dad and me, and we fell for her act - hook, line and sinker. I know better now, but I can't undo all the damage the little b*tch has done to my family.

I cringe whenever people assume that the little b*tch is my mom. One said "oh, you look just like her". (Translation: short and fat) Geez, thanks.
