When she came home for her visit we knew something was up, then when we saw all her belongings packed in her car we knew. She said she left the sober hosue because she was sick of the people there. There were only two girls left from the ones she was originally there with and she claimed she was sick of the others. I figured she got kicked out and after questioning her for a bit she finally told us that the director took her car away from her except for work because she went to an AA meeting that some guy was going to be at and they aren't allowed to have male relationships while in the house. So she stayed for that day and was getting madder and madder and just packed up and left Friday. She said she slept in a cheap hotel Saturday night and made an appointment for an interview at a three quarter sober house today.
I tried to stay calm and not let her know how paicked I was that she was back in our house and had no place to live. She told us she was staying with a woman who got kicked out of the sober house last month for having a boyfriend and she was going to go to the new sober house today. So she did her work laundry and left again. I am not sure if she went to this woman's apartment or slept in her car.
This morning she called to tell me that she had the interview and will be moving into the three quarter house tomorrow. It's $280 a month, and she will be rooming with a friend who got kicked out of the other house too for having a boyfriend. Her curfew is 11 pm and she has to attend four meetings a week and they have group on Tuesdays in the house. Everyone has chores and she has to provide her own food. Her weekends are free and she must stay sober to continue living there.
She still loves her job and seems to be doing well there. Although I told her that she is one step away from being destitute, homeless with no job. I never thought my daughter would be living out of her car. But she is still sober and she made a good plan for her living arrangements so for that I am grateful.
Funny thing is both easy child and me had a premonition something was up.
