[QUOTE="AliceLee, post: 44217, member: 3104"] My fantasy is that she would come home, work and save her money, be pleasant, respectful, and clean up after herself. The reality is that it doesn't work that way! It turns out that I don't have to worry about that, for a while, anyway. Her boyfriend's mother has invited difficult child to move in with her. (Boyfriend, however, is in jail until the end of May for beating up difficult child). I think this is a terrible idea because I think they'll start right back where they left off...fussing and fighting and hurting one another. However, being a recent graduate of detachment 101, I am learning not to voice my opinions. I simply said, "How do you think you'll be able to get along differently than before he went to jail?" She said he will be going to court-ordered counseling. I asked if SHE was considering counseling...she said she was gonna try to go with him. I think she needs extensive therapy and medications herself, but at least she's thinking about counseling more these days. difficult child did say that if things didn't work out, she would come home. I told her that our door is open, as long as we can agree in advance, and stick to a plan for living together. She also said she wanted to get her credit report this weekend and start getting serious about cleaning up her credit [img]:smile:[/img] To be honest, I'm relieved that she's not coming home just yet. I am looking for another job and don't need that extra stressor. Also, the boyfriend's mother is a lovely person---I have spoken with her extensively and I like her very much. She will be a good influence on my difficult child, I think. [/QUOTE]
