difficult child was told by husband that she had to come pick up her clothes Saturday when I would not be here. easy child and I took a weekend shopping trip about 120 miles away. I just could not bear to be here when she picked her stuff up and left. She told husband that she bought a car (she has no money but evidently her girlfriend's boyfriend bought it and she was to pay him back.) Mind you she has no insurance on it. Meanwhile her car which is newer and only has 42,000 miles and the car she bought has 88,000, sits in our drive.
Saturday at 4 pm she comes home to get her stuff. husband makes her get insurance quotes on line and she is surprised to see she has to pay $480 every six months. husband asks if she is ready for him to drive her to where she's moving and she calls her friend to see if she's home. Oh one little problem, the friend didn't ask her dad yet who owns the house and may have a say in this. Dad says no she can't move in so now she has no place to go. She tells husband that if he lets her stay til Monday she will transfer the car to her name and live in her car (I'm trying not to laugh).
So now she has no car, no insurnace and no place to go, but all her bags are packed. husband calls me and reports this and we decide to tell her if she can pay to have her car repaired she can have that car. She then has to find a place to live very shortly and in the meantime if she wants to sleep here she has to remain sober and be home at night, otherwise she can sleep in her car. She calls the guy who was going to sell her the car and told him she wasn't going to buy it. No word yet on how that went over.
easy child and I had a wonderful time shopping. The weekend away did both of us so much good. husband handled difficult child very well and we have all detached a little more.
