It is just a gut feeling but I think something is going on with my difficult child. I called her on Wednesday and she didn't answer but later texted back and forth with me. I know that her phone has trouble getting service in the halfway house and is often so staticky that I can't hear her.
Yesterday, I both called and texted her to tell her about a response to a job that had come to my email (I have been sending her resume's to job postings in Craig's List since her computer got stolen at the halfway house). She didn't respond to either my call or text or to husband's call this morning.
A few minutes ago she called to say that her car had not started when she and her roommate had finished their breakfast this morning at IHOP. When we questioned her about why she had not called back or texted back yesterday, she said her phone was not working and she didn't know why. I guess it suddenly started working again this morning.
She called from the halfway house so I asked her how she and her roommate got back there and she said that the Triple A guy gave them a ride and told her it was her fuel line and that it needed to be flushed.
Here's the really strange part . . . she said that this happened at 8:00 this morning but she didn't call until 11:00. I asked her why and she said that she had gone back and gone to sleep. I called her on it and told her that didn't make any sense. She said that she "guessed it didn't in retrospect."
My guess is that she loaned out her car again and doesn't want to admit it to us. She sounded sober and was a little defensive about us "not believing her." I pointed out that she had a long history as to why we wouldn't believe her and she agreed. husband checked our AAA account online and there is no record of a call from difficult child. I don't know how frequently it is updated, though.
What do you all think?
