I can't stop tearing up. This is not how I usually cope. Sometimes, I would wish I could express emotions better. I've felt angry and frustrated, and I just keep going like the energizing bunny.
My youngest (adopted granddaughter) has struggled with addiction and abusive relationships. She's back with an abusive guy. This has been on and off for 5 years. He is still legally married, has a child by wife, and that child was put in foster care after birth. The wife's mom is raising the child. Also has another child he doesn't have contact -with an X girlfriend. Both children is about age two.
He got out of jail 3 weeks ago. Still isn't looking for a job. DGD is, but lost one job, after one day, because of some drama that she felt she couldn't leave him. They are living in a basement storage area at his dad's. Dad is moving out mid October. They will probably be homeless...
Older DGD suffers from bipolar. Or at least I suffer from her bipolarism. She could care less that her words cut me deeply.
Older lives at home with us, temporarily, until she gets on her feet. Lol. The first three months she did absolutely nothing. But she did start a job this month, but somehow went thru about $1000. Now, that she has about 6 weeks left before she needs to find other accommodations, she is starting to save. She gets pretty good tips every day. And we have told her we will give her 50% of what she saves for a car.
She's trying to figure out how much to save... I told her save it all, then take out $5 to 10 out of tips each day. She eats at home or free at her job. We drive her to her job, she lives here free.
Yet, she is so ungrateful. We are leaving for two weeks in October to volunteer with home repairs in hurricane areas in TX. We don't want her in the house. She is forgetful. She is messy. Plus she might let younger and boyfriend over, which I don't want to happen.
This is suppose to be a special time with my husband. We put off doing things for 16 years to adopt and raise them. Neither girl will consider community college or trade schools. neither DGD really cares to spend time with us. But they still want us around for rides, food, a place to crash. They are 19 and 21. They can crash at their dads if they have no other options.
But I guess I finally hit my limit of being strong. I've been crying off and on all day.
