She's doing OK although when I took her to San Francisco with easy child this past spring I found she starts to become belligerent if she does not have a drink or cigarette for a while. It honestly opened my eyes to the fact that she has a drinking problem (I always knew that but hoped she had it in check). She is able to keep a job and be responsible but it will be a problem all her life. It reminded me that I can't have her come back home. I am not happy with her boyfriend who is irresponsible, has no license and owes fines from years ago and uses her for driving him everywhere, doesn't pay the bills and drinks all the time. Don't get me started, I wish she would realize she deserves better.
So I guess what I'm saying is she is living on her own and is holding a job and caring for his daughter and doing a terrific job at that but her future will not be easy. She doesn't ask for anything and is very grateful for the help we do give her. She just got a new job as a data entry clerk with a small pay increase and took her drug test Saturday. She said she will pass, I'm assuming she did. I guess we will find out if they tell her she can't start work.
Thanks for asking.
