[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 610431, member: 15796"] Well, she is starting to feel the effects of wasting her life for a few years...she is desperately trying to find a job and has nothing to put on a resume and no work experience. Some of the applications online won't let you go on to submit an application if you don't have anything to put for experience. It was depressing. She realized it was going to be a lot harder than she thought it would be. She got her GED at 16. She is 20. How do you explain that gap in time?? She saw her "regular" probation officer today. She was seeing someone else due to the regular being on maternity leave. The regular informed difficult child that she had to pay 50 per month in probation fees and 22 a week for drug testing. She owes back fees for the past month and a half and 7 drug tests! No one said anything about this before. I was already paying 50 a week for the house arrest. And now I find out that difficult child's outpatient will be 30 a week for the 24 weeks. So difficult child [I]needs[/I] a job. She cannot get any aid and we are paying for all of this plus all expenses for our grandson. I cannot complain, though. I know that. It is worth it. We just need to find a way to cut costs..and pray that she finds a job real soon working nights... She is going on a second date with the police officer. They are going to the movies on Monday. This is the first time she has had someone take her on real dates. :) And last night she posted lyrics from a Seether song and it had to do with staying sober. Well, difficult child's friends got all concerned taking it to mean something. difficult child posted this and it made me smile: "For everyone who read my last post and think im thinking about using or im going through a rough time, I'm not. Life is good and my little mans my world now. I dont intend on doing anything to lose him. The song just came on and i posted the lyrics. Thank you all for your concerns though. That means a lot." She mentioned to me today how she realizes she now has clarity in her thinking and how cloudy her thinking was before...oh how often I tried telling her that!! I'm telling you - nothing WE say gets through...so frustrating. If she had only listened... [/QUOTE]
