Rosie pushed a plate of lemon pie toward me and told me to eat because I had lost weight. I picking up my fork because it was pointless to argue with her.

I told her that everything was the same. Melinda bosses everyone around while Phillip keeps quiet.

They treat everything in the house as theirs. They criticize me if I touch their things.

Melinda finds fault with every little thing. She says I did not wash the dishes properly or that I listen to the radio too loudly.

Rosie asked what Phillip says to all of this. I said he says nothing or just brushes it off.

He says I know Melinda and she just likes to be in control. Rosie snorted at that excuse.

She asked about the grandkids. I said Skyler understands and tries to stand up for me.

Jace has retreated into his own world of games and headphones. We used to walk and talk a lot but now he hardly leaves his room.

Rosie said the situation was clearly not healthy for any of us. She told me I had to do something.

I asked what exactly I should do since they have been with me for three years. They do not have money for their own place.
