Hi Job,

She seems to be cycling. Happy one minute, even ecstatic. The next - she is meeting him for ice cream (I wanted to die). Then she is here and she is crying about $.

I have my dad visiting for 3 days. We are very close but since I moved - I don't get much alone time with him. When she came over yesterday & started crying - I gently suggested she go home & go to bed early. I've helped her in every way I possibly can but I simply wasn't going to have her spoil my "Dad" time.

I felt bad though & invited her over tonight for dinner & to play a board game with us. I'm sure she wants to spend time with her Papa too. And she was glad to accept.

She bought her new Jeep on Saturday with plan to pick it up Thurs after hearing about financing. Josh told her he was treating us out for sushi lunch at her fav place. She then whispered to me that her BF had just offered to take her there for lunch. I was not amused but said nothing.

At lunch - she texted her dad a pic of the Jeep & told him she had just bought it. He texted back -"I guess I'm happy for you". She was hurt & confused by that. WTF? You'd think he'd be proud & happy. She did it without asking him for any help. She is paying for it on her own. WTF?

So she got the financing without my Co-signing which is so good - for her to establish credit on her own. Then last night she is acting like she is totally broke & can't afford a thing.

So - my take on it is that seeing BF again has thrown her into a tailspin. I think she is lonely. & I think she wants to rescue.

Sigh... I talked to her about AA. She might go if I go with her. But she has to lead.

Thanks for asking. Sorry this is so long.
