difficult child called tonight to tell us that she didn't want us to come tomorrow night. She said that she wasn't "ready to see us." I guess she was too upset that we wouldn't let her come directly home.
However, she is not planning to go directly to the halfway house (that she says she is going to to make us happy). Instead, her alcoholic loser boyfriend's mother said that she could go there for a "few weeks." She also said that she didn't want to go to a halfway house where she had to stay for 6 months because she would miss Christmas at home. WTH?
So her plan is to go stay at the loser boyfriend's house and then go to the halfway house on a "month- to month" basis which we would revaluate each month.
What planet is this girl from? Does she really think that we are going to pay for her cellphone, car insurance, cigarettes, gasoline, and food while she spends a few weeks with her boyfriend who I know drinks and smokes marijuana? I can't imagine a worst place for her to go. They fight constantly, break up, and difficult child goes into a nosedive.
I tried calling the counselor today but it was her day off. I plan to call back tomorrow and tell her in no uncertain terms what I think of this plan and ask her to let difficult child know that the only monetary support we will supply is if difficult child is in a halfway house.
After three blessed weeks of peace and tranquility, I am now dreading next Monday when difficult child is discharged. I am afraid we will be dragged back into difficult child chaos.
