[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 499046, member: 9175"] UPDATE: She texted me yesterday late afternoon: "Are you home?". I was and texted back "Yes. How are you?" One second later, the doorbell rings and she is standing there. She hugs me, says she wants to take me to lunch (but I have to drive, her care is dirty - LOL). It is 3:00 in the afternoon and I've already had lunch, but I am happy to go out for coffee and dessert - and we do. She's fine. You were right. It's hard to separate the difficult child from the twenty year old. A 20 year old easy child goes for a period without calling, and we're annoyed. A difficult child goes without calling, and we are scannign the police blotter and googling like crazy people. She's still a difficult child, for sure....but,in this case, the worry was for naught. Dash ps. Talked to Mr. Ostrich last night. He claims he is going to send her a letter reminding her of her promisory note. If she does not act, he will take the car. My prediction: he'll send the letter, she'll call him crying, they'll strike a deal for some piddly amount of money, and that will be it. Not my problem. [/QUOTE]
