Do Bad Things Come in Threes?

Despite being estranged from both adult SDs for years, things do still occasionally pop up. This time it was a call from a debt collector looking for YSD40. I actually chuckled, surprising myself. It's been decades, after all. I provided what little I knew & he said he'd delete me from their contact list. Hmm.

Next, YSD40 popped up in my social media - strange, because this never happens. Posing in a picture with one of her half siblings (the only decent one, who was also No Contact with her, which is why I haven't blocked them), she looked much older than her age. Tired, overweight, the teeth we spent 6k on reverted back to their original rabbity appearance. Looks like being a chaos agent takes a toll. 

I hope this is just an anomaly rather than a harbinger of things to come, but I sense a ripple in The Force.

Re: Do Bad Things Come in Threes?

I think there is something to that things come in 3’s. I hope for your sake that that isn’t the case this time.

This year in 2026 I had to deal with YSD 27 invading our space and then OSD 29 and now it seems that YSD 27 is back in the picture. I am posting about that shortly.
