I had to go to the mall for a few errands and walking through I saw so many families with kids and for a few moments I was brought right back to when difficult child was young and the struggles we had with her even then and it made me incredibly sad.
And I was suppose to go over to difficult child's and help her shampoo her carpet today but she never got up until 2:30 pm, I saw her posting pictures on facebook at 5am this morning. So I just dropped off the shampooer and left. She said she was going to clean tomorrow and asked if I would come help but I said no I had plans. She got a roommate, gay guy who works at Taco Bell that is supposedly the son of her neighbor. I'm sure this is another ill fated situation as he has a friend who I also believe is moving in and I'm sure it will be a party house. He was there when I dropped off the shampooer and I decided he can help her clean tomorrow, if she can't wake up in time for our arranged meeting I'm not going out of my way for her.
It just makes me so sad when I think of her future, friends in their 20's working at Taco Bell is about the best she is goign to do, she has no goals, doesn;t want anything better for herself. Driving to her apartment, I passed the neighborhoods I grew up around and was so happy to escape from and now my difficult child is back there, coming full circle. I don't see her ever being able to escape there.
