Well, after making life a living hades for my relatives up north, we sent her back to Georgia after I verified she had a place to live (well, as best as I could anyway, she could have easily told this person to lie for her). She flew back here Thanksgiving night and has been on her own ever since. Why did she fly and not ride back with us on Saturday? Because we did not want to be trapped in a car with her for twenty hours. Sad, huh? We spent a few days with her before she came back. We survived. There were tense moments for sure. It just emphasized how much easier life is not living with her. It's sad. She has been thrown out of every place she had to stay. She still doesn't think she does anything wrong. She sits back and spits her venom at every one, constantly complains, tells every one how they should live their lives, what they do wrong, etc. So annoying!
Anyhow, I'm done. She is of age that she is able to move out and be on her own and so be it. I talked to her PO this morning and told her that she will need to deal with her directly from now on. Her PO agreed there is nothing further we can do for difficult child. Life lessons will be learned the hard way. Stinks for her, but what can you do? She has made her choices and must now deal with the consequences.
Just an example of how different my kids are from each other: Grandma gets easy child a video game he really wanted for his birthday and he is ecstatic but tells grandma he is embarassed she spent so much on him (inlaws are A OK financially, but he is just genuinely sweet).
Grandma gives difficult child a fifty dollar Wal-Mart card figuring now that she is on her own, there are things she will need, etc. And what does difficult child do??? Whispers to me asking what is she supposed to do with it since she has been thrown out of three Wal-Marts....I was disgusted. I don't think she even said thank you.
But, I am very happy to be in Parent Emeritus land.....life is a lot more peaceful here....
