Don't dail pain . . don't accept texts. Same thing.
difficult child had the nerve to call and demand that we drive the food that she left here yesterday down to the halfway house which is a 45 minute drive from our house. This is after she had a fit last night because we would not let her spend the night here since we had to leave early in the morning. The last time she said she would leave peacefully she threw a fit when it was time to leave so I swore never again.
She started the text drama again about not being trusted and my going back on letting her come back here after three months in the halfway house. I NEVER told her that and have repeatedly told her that she has to find a place to live after the halfway house program is over.
I told her that while she has made progress the drama last night just reinforces our decision that she can not ever live here again. I also told her that moving back here would be moving backwards . . . not forward.
I knew that she would keep this up all night so I just told her that she could come by and get what was left of the food (the frozen stuff had to be thrown out since she left it in my car . . unbeknownst to me until this morning) or borrow money from someone at the halfway house for food and pay them back on Saturday.
Then I told her that I was turning off my phone for the night because I was tired of her drama.
And I did.
Yeah for me. Don't text pain . . . or accept texts that cause pain. Maybe that should be our SA forum motto.
