WHY DO WE DO IT?

[navajo]

OK, I'm not sure if you didn't see the original start to this a few pages ago, but I DID set boundaries and she reluctantly agreed but admitted that she isn't going to stop contact with the OM. Thus the "You can live in the basement only until you can find somewhere else to go or you agree on working on our M and cutting him out".

But she apparently interpreted that to mean she was moving back in and hanging out upstairs with me and the kids every night.

I KNOW I shouldn't have agreed to let her come back at all unless she was ready to work on us, but she honestly doesn't have anywhere else to go since her friend was tired of her freeloading and I still stand by my belief that she should be part of her children's lives.

She just came by for the latest go around. I'll post the confrontation in the next entry.

I know pup, I slipped up big time and am now stuck in a bad sitch.

2x4 away!
