I admit I haven't posted here in awhile...was tired of my eye issues, then got the flu, then had major allergies, which made my eyes all itchy and watery (again with the eyes). I admit the Mister has been having a VERY difficult time with the girlchild - apparently she decided to try out the "teen rebellion" state during her last few months of high school (senior year). She has gone from straight A honor student to...well she actually might not graduate, according to the principal. Thanks to a new boyfriend and very poor judgment, alcohol, possibly drugs, extreme defiance, and nothing but lies. I admit it all came to a head last night. Her mom came over, both parents (so good to see them on a united front) had a "come to Jesus" with her, to which she responded like a cornered feral cat. Short story is she is to stay with her mom for the month of May, and mom is moving out of town. This will be good for her, I think, to remove her from the scene, so to speak. I admit, it was a very intense and difficult day yesterday, and I was (and still am) so very proud of the way he handled things - calm, direct, loving, fair, but adamant about the law he was laying down. I admit as much as I haven't cared for some of her mom's parenting, I could see the desperation in her yesterday, and really felt sorry for her. I admit girlchild took off last night and stole the spare house key, so I'm sitting here waiting for the locksmith to finish rekeying the locks as I type. I admit it's really hard to see her unravel like this.
