Better a nuclear blast than difficult child getting hurt.
Proud of you, very much so. I know what it takes to tell someone to leave your child alone. husband is working on a "polite" way to tell difficult child 1's former boyfriend to go away. because he will be 17 next week. And in Ohio, that's old enough. Besides, he's stringing her along anyway.
I'm sending you armor for tonight, and a lot of hugs. A few for difficult child, too, cuz she is gonna need them.
