Today is another Grad. This time, for D18. This one is here in my town and i feel safe. All of those students have been in my class back when i was working at the Elementory school. The parents know us and our story. I am going with only a bit of nervousness. Will ex-h be there? I don' t know. I did not asked and here, i don' t care. If he is, i will make sure to never be alone and i' ll keep him away.
As for the subject of rides to visit him: unfortunately, D18 was in a car accident and her car was also totalled. Both of my children (S20 and D18) are now walking. They both chose not to purchase another just yet. They want to keep their money from the insurance and put it towards their education.
They miss their cars but they do not miss the monthly financial headache that came with it.
