Gucci you read my mind. Thanks for the words of encouragement. You've been a great help. I'm finally starting to take my life back.
It's a good feeling when you can control you emotions no matter what life throws at you.
W called from work this morning right as my alarm was going off. She was crying, her job is moving her to the night shift in a month (she knew this might happen).
S8 will have to stay with me full time and it will affect night school. The life she thought she was going to have and the happiness she was going to feel are slipping away. I feel somewhat bad for her. I validated her feelings and said we could talk later if she wanted.
I'm not going to let her come back to me crying expecting me fix everything. She chose to leave, if she would have stayed none of this would be a problem. I will listen to her, but I will not bail her out.
She had to ask me how to balance her checking account yesterday. She's 29 years old and can't balance a checking account, come on. I was nice and answered her questions, but the whole time I kept getting a vision of S8 (bit of a math wiz) sitting at the table doing her accounting for her some night.
Maybe I could ask her to sleep on the couch because I might be bringing someone back with me;) No, I wouldn't do that. I would love to see the look on her face though. I could tell her she can join in if she likes. LOL
