[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op checking back.  I had a talk with my mom because honestly I could not keep my mouth shut.  Basically SIL is flirtatious like that with everyone every male that is and my brother monitors her phone etc. some other things I did not like was her taking a sip of my dad's drink and a bite of food from his plate. Sitting very close to him on a couch. [b]Just little innocent things like that somehow rubbed me the wrong way. [/b]My mom said to pay no attention to it. For posters who do not understand what I mean when I say that SIL replaced me... We were on the vacation and I felt like a third wheel. I know this is going to sound childish but I would have expected my SIL to feel like a third wheel with my dad and me. We were together for only a few days and I swear every time I tried to have a conversation he was not intrested. I am going through some difficulties in my life and I was looking forward to spending some time with him to confide and receive some advice parental guidance and understanding. Instead I had no opportunity for alone time with him.  Anyways as petty as I may sound I really want my brother who is not the easiest person to get along with to be happy.  And SIL makes him happy. I just need to remove myself from the whole situation. [/quote]

This is a problem, OP. You write off these obviously inappropriate acts as innocent. Even if she's not trying to bed your dad, it is not innocent. The vibe is out of bounds, too intimate.

And you keep blaming yourself for wanting some attention from your dad when you're right in front of him. Why be apologetic for that?

Bottom line is you're not going to get the attention you want while SIL/object of your dad's youthful fantasies is there. My guess is she plays it up when you're around because she doesn't like to share the attention of any man in the room. Sick.[/quote]
