[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 700399, member: 20814"] Daughter showed up again unannounced yesterday morning. She wanted to look through her things in the basement. I didn't want to let her in, but gave in to my husband and sat nervously in the house while she got some things under my husband's supervision. I did overhear some of what she was saying to him, and later, after she had left, I pointed out to him that she is continuing to step over boundaries : the restraining order is still in effect, most importantly! What did she want from her things in the basement? Winter clothing, kitchen supplies, etc is what I would have gathered, but instead, she took her sister's large TV and game boy set, along with lots of games. I want to add that her sister gave permission, mostly because she didn't want us to have to deal with any conflict. Daughter also sorted through her mail and left garbage on the floor despite my husband offering a garbage can. I convinced my husband that we cannot give into her visits. If she cannot honor a restraining order, what can she honor? Even though she has been mostly respectful during the two visits, she still has boundary problems. He agreed that he will not let her in again. This morning, I looked at her cell calls, and noticed that she made one to a local homeless shelter. I ran this piece of info by my husband to digest and he indicated that he wasn't surprised, so I'm glad he is not unhappy about it, but I feel sad and ashamed that she is having to look into this.
