We are now going on the 2nd month since DH has spoken to SD18 since she asked for her insurance card and he said no. He asked her to delete her tweets about pot use and drinking. She said no and that of course he was again not there for her. Boo hoo! So they have not texted since. He won't reach out and apparently neither will she. For me, thankfully, she is staying away.

I don't know if DH even knows she was home this weekend. I only know thanks to Twitter. He may have stopped monitoring it since he doesn't really like Twitter. But, she spent the weekend partying with her friends still in HS and the ones that didn't go off to college. Pathetic at best.

Is it wrong that I am happy she came home and he didn't see her? We have no drama here anymore. BS19 at college about 45 minutes away, so I see him at least every couple of weeks. SS16 got his license and is doing really well in school. DH and I are happy, we are planning our future for when SS16 leaves for college. My career is good and so is his. That girl is the only drama in our lives. We are happy with her gone.

I have booked a cruise for Christmas and both of the boys are asking what are we going to do if DH says he wants her to come. I said we would go and he wouldn't. Sounds terrible, but this cruise is expensive and after she ruined last Christmas vacation, she is not doing this one. Just so you understand, I pay for our vacations. I pay for the housing portion and we split the expenses on the trip. It works well for us, since I still own my house and pay that and will not contribute to this mortgage.

I figure, since I paid for the last trip she ruined, I feel like she owes us the 5K we spent on that vacation. So if he tries to give her a dime for anything, I will not stand for it. I never thought I could resent a child as much as I do that girl. Now to get through Thanksgiving, since she will probably be home and he will want to try and see her. One can only hope that he is serious that she has to come to him this time. I doubt it will last, but we are at month two of no communication. Me, I haven't seen the brat since he put her on a plane last Christmas vacation. Let's keep it that way.
