Thank you Live. Just hit a harsh moment of sadness and reality. Leaving is really letting go of the dream.
Just got into an argument with D20. She came home from her college visit all pumped up and ready to go back. After promising me a year of her help, she is now saying that she wants to go back to school...like now...or January. I lost it. Not completely...held myself together, but was firm...REALLY FIRM. After all the pressure she put on me to move and...
Anyway, I stood my ground. She tried to blame me for her Not being in school...I reminded her that SHE didn't add the $2500 debt to her student loans in time...that SHE hasn't paid anything toward the debt...she she didn't study hard last semester...etc...
I'm stepping away. I'm sorry she is upset about not being in school right now. I'm sorry that she had to watch while I used some college funds to pay for the attorney...but, I'm done apologizing. Does that make sense? I'm sorry for her situation right now...but, I'm DONE apologizing. I've done my best and I've begun to turn things around.
She is 20 and can handle working for one year...taking some community courses...then, go back. One year. I don't think it's too much to ask. If she had gotten a 3.0 last year as I asked, I would have felt differently. She didn't. She failed classes and had incompletes. Then, and only THEN did I take the money and use if for an atty. After Smokey refused to pay the remaining $2500 he had promised to pay.
It's done. I told her she is responsible for paying the $2500...I will help after that's paid for..
