Our rule is during the week, you need to be in the house by 10pm if you want a place to sleep. difficult child went out the door yesterday evening saying she would be back. Well, 10pm rolls around and she is not back. I text her and she tells me she is not in the area and can't she have her younger brother open the door for her when she does get back? Um, huh?? No. You know the rules, you are not here, door is locked for the night.
Now keep in mind, she has a meeting today with her probation officer. Everytime she sees her probation officer she looks like **** - no sleep, bags under the eyes, you name it. Now the right thing to do would have been to be home by curfew, get a good night's sleep and see her PO fresh faced today. Noooo she can never do the right thing! That would be soooo wrong. (insert eye roll) Not to mention her PO is placing her under house arrest today (though she has no idea).
I'm tired. At this point, we are counting the days until she is 18 and gets her walking papers. What is so hard about doing what you need to do to get out of the situation? If she would just do her community service, stop using drugs and hanging around with losers she could be off probation and moving on with life. But noooo, that would be too easy! 472 days....
I would also like to say that finding this place has truly been a blessing. To have people that know exactly what you are dealing with and not judge you or think what a horrible parent you must be is truly priceless.
Well we will see what the day has to bring today - today I have to go to have a talk with the DA about MY case. You see, right before Christmas I found out (during a period she had run away) that difficult child had gotten into meth with her boyfriend and he would get high and beat the **** out of her. So, I brought the police with me to his house to retrieve her and told him if he ever went near my daughter again I would kill him. An officer arrested me on the spot for terroristic threats. I almost spent Christmas in jail but for another police officer that knew me and my difficult child got me in front of the judge so I would be released. LOVE that officer. Anyhow, the DA said I was being charged with a misdemeaner and could come in and talk to them today. I have never been in trouble, and I live in a very small town where pretty much everyone knows my kid's history so I am praying they let it go. For me, that day in jail was the most horrific experience of my life!! Even being an ex mini difficult child myself, I had never went to jail or been arrested. (shivers)
Sheesh - sorry for the book today people! Guess I needed to get some stuff out, huh?
