For those of you who are not familiar with me and my relationship with my 18y/o (almost 19) SD, we had a huge blow out, not the first time - but it was the last, when she balled up her fist and punched me !! I immediately sent her on her way, and I have had no contact with her since. DH has though, not suprising - she is his daughter. Don't get the wrong impression, he has had it with the lies, manipulations, BM influences, etc. Since she's been gone, she has had her car window broke out and all her cd's stolen, she had called her dad and told him and he told her that she didn't need to be out at 2:00 in the morning, told her to fix it. (that's funny - she has 0 problem solving skills, thanks to BM and the "I'm the victim game - you owe me way of thinking), then she had a wreck, she rear ended someone. (that wasn't her fault - just ask her) She even took it to court - funny thing was she didn't even show up to court, so all of her fines were doubled, then she had another wreck, this time totally her car (again wasn't her fault) she once again rear ended another car. She called her father and started crying everything is just falling apart, etc - he hung up on her. He is so tired of her not taking responsiblity for her actions. It probably would have went her way, if she would have started the conversation by saying something along the lines of I was driving too fast or I was following too close when.. - But anyway, That is not all - as it has turned out, she has lost her scholarship d/t poor grades. She told her dad that it was her advisor's fault for making her take a public speaking class - OMG, it's a requirement, and no way was that her advisor's fault. Whatever!!! Well anyway, hubby ready to wash his hands of her finally !! We bought her another car - I know what your probably thinking WHY - this was hubby's way of giving last restitution, I think. He said that we was not going to pay for her to blow off college, so she will need wheels to get her back and forth to work. I didn't think we should do that, but ok to my own gratitution we bought her a care that doesn't have air condiditioning !!!! and it's already really hot her in the south. HEHEHE

Hubby and I have had alot of serious converstations about SD, and it always ends up with me being validated or so he says. I really don't want her to end up like her no-good mother, but some people have to learn the hard way. Hubby's family is starting to come around now in their way of thinking. We have had a hard time making them understand that she is not helpless and she is not that 2y/o kid with cancer anymore, and if everyone keeps treating her like that she will never grow up.

Well that's about it. oh, she text her dad happy father's day about 4:00PM that night. She didn't even thank him for the car or anything - like I said, her name is ####### ####### and you just owe me!!!!!!!
