I haven't been posting much lately - mostly because I thought things were going well and I didn't want to risk the Board Curse...
but also because I am getting used to heartache and disappointment. It's become more of a dull pain rather than an open wound.
There's been a thousand sad stories as difficult child lies to us about each new thing. I'm just so tired of it...it's hard to even give a darn.
And then this weekend:
difficult child has been working really long hours at this new job at a department store. We were SOOO proud of her for getting the job - and it seemed like one really positive thing that she had going. The job is almost 10 miles from our house - so driving her there and picking her up is nearly 40 miles of driving for husband or I....but we were so proud, we were more than happy to do it.
Until husband found out that difficult child is actually NOT working long hours at this job. He checked her cell phone and discovered that after we drop her off at "work" - she has guys come pick her up. She spends the whole day doing who-knows-what with who-knows-who and then gets dropped off at "work" and calls husband to come and pick her up because her "shift" is over.
I give up. I'm just done.
husband was so mad he wrote up a legal "30 days notice" letter - and then he waffled at the last minute (o what if she can't find a nice place by then?) and made it 45 days and he presented it to her after "work".
Now this morning, difficult child is posting on FB how life would be easier if they didn't go sticking their noses in where they don't belong. As far as SHE is concerned, she can do what she wants and husband has no right looking at her phone. Who cares if she was at work or not?
This is going to be a very long 45 days...
