[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 561149"] Thank you Nancy. You are SO right on. She is there today. I do not know what will happen tonight or tomorrow but I really need to stop being so invested. I was just so excited to see my real daughter coming back. The whole house believed in her. I haven't told husband and quite frankly, I don't want to. I don't think he nor easy child needs to know right now...husband would immediately shut down and not let her back in. I have decided that I am not buying her anything more, though. I'm even torn on groceries at this point. Definitely no more clothes, etc. She has basics and she will need to live with that. I will pay the rent for each week that she is there but I am not doing more than that. I have blown through a lot of money this past month and now I feel like it has been for nothing. I was sitting there thinking how we would spend Christmas together and thinking about what I could get her - she wants an electronic cigarette to quit smoking and an acoustic guitar. I really don't want to buy a thing. I feel it may end up pawned at a pawn shop or traded for drugs. This has really disappointed me. I am losing hope that she is going to stay on track. Now I feel like it is a ticking time bomb and she may get thrown out this weekend by yelling at someone. Ugh. And the more stress I feel, the more my tummy hurts. :( [/QUOTE]
