Yes I set down three rules and they were all about boundries. One was to call if she was going to stay out late. This was so I knew she was safe. Another rule was to call if too drunk to drive home or anywhere else. This rule was so I knew she didn't kill anyone if she drank too much. The final rule was to respect me in front of our D.
I also took away the credit cards, checking account and debit cards from her. This saved us from getting into any financial problems. Unfortunately, she got her own credit cards and drove her credit (not mine) into the toilet.
I've looked at piecing for ideas but until recently I wouldn't say I could use any of them. So I'll look again and hope I can find something.
Tonight, I pick my W up from the airport. This is a tiny step towards the positive. She's coming in so late, I know her GF could have picked her up. Instead she asked me and I will pick her up.
On a side note her trip turned out to be a visit more than thinking. So I don't expect to see much out of it. I was hoping she would have the time to think over her stich and come to the realization that she's better off being a W and mom; rather than being a party animal.
