PG, Your difficult child is young enough that she should just say that she was in school. My difficult child has a very spotty record of school and work and no one ever seems to question her on it. It always amazes me. She has always been able to get jobs very easily. It was keeping them that she had a problem with unfortunately.
I am really hoping she finds something. She is trying so hard. Since she can only work nights, and not many people like the nightshift, I am hopeful. She came to my office with me today and said that she would love to come to an office like that every day. She is finally starting to want more for herself. She was so polite to everyone that stopped by to see the baby - made me VERY proud. Especially when I was in a meeting room and the President of the company interrupted my meeting to tell me he met my daughter and the future football player.
She just left to go on a second date with the police officer. They are going to see We Are The Millers. It was so fun watching her get ready for an actual date and get all giddy and nervous. She must have tried on a million outfits. She never experienced this - actual dates and courting with a
good man. Thank God for good country boys.
And the more time goes by that she feels secure, we talk about her past. Things I didn't know. I am learning just how awful her relationship was with A hole. He did hit her - a lot. I swear, if I
ever see this POS...at least she is finally starting to realize what a POS that POS really is. She doesn't think too highly of him anymore. I don't know what finally made it click - maybe talking to the other woman that is pregnant with his child - maybe she needed that.
Anyway, she is happy. Truly happy. She posted on Facebook today that she was really happy. Made me smile.
