Two Glorious Weeks Since SD Moved Out

agitated's picture

I deleted my blog pertaining to SD18stb19 moving out because it was so easily identifiable. However, it has been the best two weeks ever! My DH has not been visibly upset or acting any different than usual; with the exception of the actual evening she moved out. Well, not even then actually . As she, her great uncle, and grandfather were removing her things from the house, he seemed upset. Even when she started crying when it was time to say goodbye he was pretty emotionless; which is strange for him as he isn't affraid to show emotion. Maybe he was trying to hide it? I really don't know. 

She texted and called him on his birthday last week, which was truly a surprise as I did not think she would remember. I am guessing BM reminded her. She is also off our family phone plan, but BM add SD to hers, so she no longer has to pay that bill etiher (SD was paying $20 a month with us). Therefore, she is now not responsible for one red cent! She is living the life; the life of a freeloader that is. 

I decided last week that I was going to change our Netflix password since, you know, we pay for it and SD was using it an so was BM and her SO (I could see where the devices were logged in at). Well, DH asked why he was logged out on his phone, which I knew was a ploy to give it to SD, as he never watches tv on his phone, but I gave it to him. As expected, the very next day SD logged in through her xbox and continued to watch 9 straight hours of one specific cartoon. The next day I blocked that title from her account. Am I evil; aboslutely. However, I will not say anything to DH about her being there because it is not a hill to die on. I will however, continue to block her most watched/liked show monthly. 

Since the move, I have kept quiet about her and have left her room untouched. That is changing this weekend since DH is not as upset I thought he would be. I plan to show him a few things I would like to put in there for guests, and see which he likes. I will also be transitioning it to the workout room tomorrow. It will be a combination guest room, office, and workout room for now. That will change when my bio twins 16stb17 move out; which they are already planning to do the summer after high school graduation. One is in dual enrollment and will have his Associates Degree when he graduates HS, and he and his friends are already pricing out apartments near the university (same location where we live, but an hour or so away) he will be direct connecting to. The other son wants to move near the other side of his family, which he is very close to, and his uncle has offered him an apprenticeship opportuntiy to learn the construction type (not sure exactly what) work he does and owns a company. My son already works for him when he visits in the summer. It is very likely at this point they will both be gone in 2 short years. 

Overall, not having to deal with the lazy and unmotivated SD has been fantastic for my mood. I have not been drinking my anger away, nor having any anxiety issues when I know she is going to make a fuss about what we made for dinner. Nor do I have to watch her on our cameras laying around the house all day, every day, watching cartoon in her pajamas. I don't ask about her because I really do not care anymore. That bridge crashed years ago and I do not plan on rebuilding it. When DH did mention her once, saying she was doing ok and a friend was coming over to help ther unpack and stay the night, I said "that's nice." He did not keep going nor did I. 

The big question now is: when will she come back because we all know it is going to happen sometime. Grandpa will not allow her to live there for the rest of her life for free or will he? That is the only thought that creeps back into my mind. I cannot let that get to me as I need to embrace what I have right now; peace.

And make it so that its not usable by her.

That makes me mad that I am reading about my own SDs in your blog. SD15 Backstabber has been logging 10-15 hours PER DAY on the phone. She has been telling litttle fibs about this and that. Getting her to do dishes is a struggle.

And now Im seeing emails from school about class elections, sports, and orientations. I am staying WAAAAAAY far away since I got my head chopped off the last time.

Im seeing my future in your post!

Good that your DH is on the same page as you for now. Just get that room cleared as soon as you can.

Free-loading (sung to the tune of Ton Pettys Free-falling) - yeah, she will milk the grand for what she can. He may or may not get tired of it, and if he does then shes more enabled-disabled that prior. No job at 19? HAHA thats Feral Forger Sd22. It doesnt get better as they age, they just get smarter at manipulating.

Clove, I read almost daily and have read all your stories. It is crazy to me how some parents fail so badly at raising their kids. 

Her old room is 100% clean except a tote full of stuffed animals in the closet, which is fine with me. We just moved into the home in mid-November and she was always a tidy and clean person so there is literally no mess at all.

SD22 Feral Forger (aka Winona) was the reason I came here over 4 years ago. I still have little nightmares that something will happen to Toxic Troll Bm or she will move and Feral Forger will beg for a place to live with us, like she did last Christmas (Im sure you read that little christmas tale, DH sobbing in the garage.)

Yeah. REpurpose the heck out of that space. Put up those boundaries hard and fast and repeat them. I find opportunities to repeat that Feral Forger will not be living with me ever. Just the thought of it makes my stomach churn. Her attitude. Trying to get her to do things like clean. 

What is UP with these lazy A$$ people!!!????!!!!

I was ecstatic when SD59 moved out at 20 to live with her fiance.  She had already moved in and out several times causing disruption and chaos each time.  I thought I was DONE.  Flash forward 3 years, and she and baby were moving back when she and DH1 split.  More disruption and chaos.  I was thrilled again when she moved out to live with DH2.  That lasted about 14 years til they split due to her infidelity, drug use, lying, etc.  She moved from apartment to apartment but finally ended up here for 10 hell months.  After more disruption and chaos, I figured out a way to get her out, housing which we subsidize.  I live in fear that her instability and poor judgment will get her thrown out but she's not coming back here again, I'll move first.

These unstable, dependent kids - It never ends.

I fully expect to her to come back, but she knows she only gets one chance to come back. DH is onboard with those rules and she has already been made aware. If she finds herself pregnant, our house is off limits too. DH does not want a screaming baby in our house all the time when we get up for work between 3 and 4 am; it is not happening and she knows it. He has stuck his guns so far with her and the rules, I can't imagine he would change his mind now. Now, SD has NEVER lived with BM so she still has there to go. Her BFF is in the process of building a brand new house so she will probably live there for awhile too. Who knows what the future holds, but for now I am happy.

I admire your DH for his stance of allowing only one moveback and not even that if she's pregnant.  I wish we had done the same.
