I would never actually say I told you so out loud, because that would be cruel and like pouring salt in his wounds but it turns out that exactly what I said would happen, happened.

Short back story incase you haven't read my blog: After almost 3 months of not seeing each other or talking, SD14 up and decides she wants SO back. SO caves, sees her on fathers day and then takes her camping this past weekend. I declined to join them because 1) I cant stand SD and b) I don't trust the little brats intentions. She doesn't want her dad back. She wants something from him.

I was skeptical about how SO and I left things last weekend.
He seemed to understand where I was coming from and like he was on the same page but I didn't know how much I believed it. Well, he totally surprised me on Monday!
SD was at our house on Sunday and then Monday night I get home from work and he tells me that SD called him and asked if she could come over that night. He would normally never ever turn her down. But he said no! He told her he was busy!
Yay!! Insert happy dance here....

In addition to my post earlier, SO just told me that in BM's text she said that SD is afraid that if she comes back that SO is going to call her out and give her shit for what she did. BM suggests that he not do that or else SD wont ever come back.
When did it suddenly be ok for kids to rule the world? Where was I when it started to become a thing that you aren't allowed to call kids out for stuff?

Its been a little over a month since we have seen or heard from SD (other than when she ran away from us at counseling).
SO has been doing ok so far, except for the past couple days. He's seemed like he was dealing with it ok. He's been in a great mood most of the time and honestly I hate to admit it, but not having SD around has done wonders for our relationship. I don't think we have had a single argument since the first weekend she didn't come over.
