I’m stuck in the middle of a war between my husband and my family.

My sister broke our trust again, when she broke into our bedroom while we were gone. This time we caught her on film snooping around, taking some money she found lying around. We were both really mad, understandably so. We bought a lock for our bedroom door to keep her out, but she came in anyway somehow picking the lock. Understand my sister is 5 years older than me, and she has been in trouble in the past for drugs.

So my mother confronted her, because this is my mother’s house. Apparently the conversation ended with my sister saying she’d be moving out, but of course there’s no sign of that. She sent me a lame apology on facebook full of stupid excuses which I haven’t responded to. I know she’s only sorry that she got caught.

Anyway, the drama is this. My nintendo wii has been sitting in the living room for the last couple years, and my sister is the main one who uses it to watch netflix. She is almost always on the couch when she’s at home, and she would leave the wii on when she’d leave the house or go to bed- which we constantly asked her not to do. She never cleans or does anything around the house, EVER, and yet she has used the wii almost 24/7… the wii that I bought and paid for with my money. But I never did anything about it because I didnt want to make waves.

When we caught her sneaking into our room, my husband retaliated in the only way he knew how. He took the wii out of the living room and brought it into our bedroom so my sister couldn’t use it.

Well, now my mother is offended by this. She doesn’t understand and she thinks we should leave it in the living room so she can watch it too. Nevermind that my sister has already cut off netflix and that my mother rarely ever watched it anyway. In her mind we’re now the bad guys because of this. I’ve always shared everything I have, all my life, and the one time I stand up and say, “No,” I’m the bad guy.

To try and smooth things over I ordered one of those roku boxes online for my mother, but it’ll be another week before it arrives… so I’m sick with anxiety over this stupid mess.
My husband has made it clear he does NOT want the wii to go back in the living room. But when my mother asks me again and I tell her no, she’ll be mad at me. And I can’t stand it. I think me still being sick has everything to do with my anxiety over this. I wish my mother could understand. I wish that my husband wouldn’t be so stubborn. I wish my sister WOULD move out, right now.

I wish I was in a coma so I wouldn’t have to deal with any of it. Why am I such a wimp? I hate myself. I’m sure to anyone reading this it sounds incredibly stupid that I’m so upset and so caught in the middle, but I really don’t know what to do.
