And I can finally exhale....
In short - difficult child posted some really nasty things on FB about her Dad...and then she and her Dad had an all-out war via FB, text, and PM. Basically, husband played the "my house - my rules" card and difficult child played the "I'm 18 so you're not the boss of me" card. husband told her if she didn't comply with his rules he was throwing her out - difficult child told him he can't throw her out because she is leaving.
difficult child packed a few things and moved into her friend L's house. L lives with her Dad, her Aunt, Uncle, three small cousins and a step-sister in a small trailer. So difficult child is now sharing a bedroom with two other girls - and sharing a bathroom with thw whole family. Due to varying work schedules...no one is available to drive difficult child around...so she has to walk several miles to get where she is going.
And the best part? L's Dad is charging difficult child $50 per week.
difficult child, of course, feels this is far superior to having a room to herself, sharing a bathroom with her brother, and getting rides wherever she wants.
Oh well. Works for me!
