Barb, I'm glad you got a new vehicle and yes, it does take a chunk out of your paycheck, but she'll learn to manage her money even more wisely than she does now. Who knows...she may be able to pick up some extra time at her job or she may consider a part time job to supplement her wages. But, that will be up to Ashley to figure out.
I'm glad your dad is visiting. It's difficult not seeing a parent whenever you want, but at least he's there for a short visit and you two can do some things together.
Barb, I'm so sorry Ashley is going through this, but she will get thru it and be far wiser than she ever was before. She's an intelligent young lady and has a mom who is very concerned about her and will support her no matter what.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
