[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 486441, member: 9175"] Well, her dad wired her $250 last night. She gleeflully texted me that she was "in line" for the concert (which starts at 8:00 p.m. TONIGHt for which she already has tickets .... baffling). Clearly she is none the worse for the wear and is now happily involved in her adventure now that she has been bailed out by dad. He stopped by last night and I think it is possible that he is beginning to see the light. He is furious with her and furious with himself for not telling her before she left that he would not help her. What he couldn't live with (and I understand this ... remember we are new to the difficult child scene) is the thought of her being there, having her car towed and not having any money to leave. He says he's going to lay down the law when she comes back and tell her that is the last time he lends her a dime. If he follows through, it will be a good thing. We'll see. Insane, I'm pretty sure she really is out of $. She asked him for $50 to garage her car, but he pointed out that she would need 48 hours instead of 24 (as the concert is tonight) and she'd need money for gas and tolls to get back here. He (in his continued denial) thinks she'll return with change and receipts. I think she'll return without a dime. Janet, that's some story. You know how lucky you were. The thing is, the ones who aren't that lucky aren't around to tell their stories. The good news is that last night, for the very first time since this nightmare began, X acknowledged that she needs professional help. This doesn't mean she'll get it ... but at least there is a glimmer of hope that he'll begin to stand his ground. Dash [/QUOTE]
