difficult child managed to get kicked out of Nana's house last night. Apparently difficult child was trying to argue something that she knows nothing about. It turned into a screaming match between Nana and difficult child. Nana finally had enough and told her to pack her things and leave.
I get a phone call from a concerned stranger that saw difficult child standing outside with her suitcase and dog waiting for her cousin to pick her up. She wanted to know what kind of mother would throw this "child" out in the cold. Um, yeah, I then gave her a little summary of miss difficult child and explained she was thrown out because she was completely disrespectful to the very person providing for her.
Of course, I pleaded with difficult child to go into a program and then come back home. It seems so simple! What does she have to lose?? Nothing. It is so frustrating. Now she is staying at her cousin's place but it will not be permanent. My neice's boyfriend is a major hothead and I can very much see difficult child getting involved in one of their arguments and that is all it will take.
So while I am very disappointed and frustrated, I am not willing to sway one bit. Treatment or figure it out. husband actually mentioned about her coming back to Georgia. Makes no sense. He agrees she cannot live here until she has gotten treatment. So why are we going to bring her down here to be homeless and have access to everything she had here???? She would be homeless in either state. At least up there she is surrounded by family. There are a few options for her at least to have a place to stay. Here, we would be bringing her back and handing her to the snake pit! Why would we do that?? I am holding firm that I want her in treatment. Period. Eventually you would think she would tire of this and submit??
What would you do?
