After sending my step daughter back to her mom to live, I have felt so relieved. I don't have to hide in my room anymore. I can enjoy my whole house without feeling abused, disrespected, and depressed anymore. My husband might be feeling sad, disappointed, hurt and have the empty nest syndrome and i am sorry for that and wish it could have been different. I feel a little confused about how peaceful and light as if a burden of stress the size of a Boulder has been lifted instead of being sad and missing the kid. But it is what it is. And I'm glad I don't have to live through it anymore

Perhaps if your husband had been a better husband and father, and not allowed his daughter to disrespect and abuse you, it wouldn't have come to this.

He is now reaping the consequences.

I always find the sadness that failed parents have over the departure of their ill behaved failed family progeny to be a bit surprising and pathetic.   They ignore behavioral crap for years on end, enable the crap of their children, and then get all butt hurt and sad when their mate plays the enough is enough card and the failed family spawn squad is banished.

When SDnow22 got her first job a few towns over and because she does not have a drivers license started living closer.

It took me 7 months to start clearing out her old room and make it mine. I will never live with her again, ever. She and I are "civil", but shes been tormenting SD14, to the point where physical violence is involved. And she plays victim.

Good for you, creating and enforcing boundaries. And yes, the total Toxic Energy Suck these people create - once its not there anymore, is a palpable difference.
