Last Wednesday night the family went out to eat to celebrate d18's leaving town tomorrow to go a school in Boston. It was not a pleasant gathering, except for d18 and d20 enjoying each other. I was attempting to calm down after dealing with my car's overheating problems.
W was also not very pleasant as she was just pulled over by the police who informed her that her license was revoked. She ended up yelling at the officer in front of d18. Also W tried to pull information out of d20 and d20's dating her long-time friend. D20 shot back sharply "why don't you tell us what is going on in your life?" A reference to W having her om arrested last week for 'Breaking & Entering' at her place.
I tried to change the negative tone of our dinner by asking d18 what she was most looking forward to in moving to Boston? Her response - not having to deal with my parent's issues. Sigh.
S13 asked me over and over to let him come and stay at my place. He and W are continuing to fight. But b/c I was in a seminar all day yesterday, I told him "no" I did pick him up last night after his football practice. He was worked up the first hour here, but I got him to calm down and he even got to bed at a reasonable time.
Next Tuesday, 9/1 om may still move in with W and s13. I have no info on what W's plan is, and so I may be letting my fear get the best of me.
