[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 677573, member: 19905"] I can honestly say that my biggest fear is my daughter showing up at my door, expecting to be let back in. It is sad that I fear that more than so many other awful things that life can throw at me. That is a terrible admission but the honest truth. I can truly imagine what you felt in your gut when you heard him on the other side of the door. I don't know why she acts the way she does, but the best analogy is this: I feel like being around her is like holding a live rattlesnake. Her thinking is almost reptilian. It has no rhyme or reason and is centered all around herself, and she may be fine or she may strike out of nowhere without warning or provocation. Even when she is fine, the wheels are turning and words are being carefully weighed and remembered so she may use them in a future attack. God - I sound awful. There is NO WAY I could let her back in my house. Within a few hours, I am an anxious mess from carefully "handling" her. And she has stripped so much from me - confidence, positivity, self-assurance - along with a huge financial burden we will be digging out from under for quite some time. In short, I would have made her leave, too. [/QUOTE]
