Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Funny thing. Was over at the old house today like most school days and I did not check up on W. It was reaaaaalllllllyyyyyy hard. Almost like breaking an addiction.

But since I don't know what she's doing I'm not wondering what her motives are.

Progress.

She called while I was taking D10 back to school to pick up missing homework. I handed phone to D10 to pick up. They talked for five minutes and she didn't ask for me.

D10 said something on the way back home though. She said, I know what you did. I said what? She said, you gave us $109 for the car insurance after mom spent the $59 on groceries.

I said yes. No big deal. She said W was getting $50 from a co-worker to buy D10 school supplies.

I felt like telling D10 that if she needs school supplies she should ask me. I let it go. D10 doesn't need to get in the middle and besides, W is feeling the weight of her actions.

Me? I'm working basketball games three of the next five days and making about $250. That will take care of Christmas.

Today feels like very good progress.
