I appreciate your responding--the thing is, I've been doing all of that. And just when I thought we were having a bit of progress, I find this out. She is actively pursuing this other person and they are probably together right now. Do I text her tonight and say that the visit with the dogs tomorrow is off and she can forget about picking up the camera that she wanted to bring with her to her stepmom's birthday? I was going to do her a favor and let her use it. As it is, I wrapped a bunch of presents for our (her) niece and nephew that she is supposed to pick up tomorrow to bring with her. Do I leave them on the porch? She has to stop seeing this person. She hasn't even given herself a chance to miss us and she's taking up with this person. I thought she wanted to stand on her own two feet?
