[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 481558, member: 1967"] Well, we should have known. difficult child called and asked when we were going to meet her so she could get food and the check for the halfway house. I asked how job hunting was going and she said that she had put in a lot of applications on Craigslist. I asked her what about going place to place in person (she is looking for a job in a hair salon as an assistant) and she said, "but that would use up my gas." Umm, what else is she doing that is using up gas? Her answer was going to meetings. Whatever. She also asked if we were going to Alanon meetings. I told her we had been to one but I wasn't overly impressed. She said, "What if I had said that about AA meetings? We are learning that this is a family disease and you need to do your part." I wasn't thrilled with how she said it but I think she has a point and I am going to look at some meetings close to home and give a few more a try. She also asked about Thanksgiving and seemed very hurt when I said that we would meet her for supper. She asked what we were doing with the rest of the day and I explained that our plans didn't include her based on past holiday experiences. She said something about being already depressed and this wasn't going to help. I'm starting to second guess myself about this. My friend said that difficult child was invited, too, and knows her history. Do ya'll think we should bring her with us? It would save us money instead of eating again later at a restaurant. Right now we just left it that we would meet her later in the day. So $225 later (food, cigarettes, gasoline, and rent) she's back to the halfway house and we are back home. I am sitting here with my bag of Hershey Hugs recovering from my difficult child outing. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
