Today was my day off. I was at SO's house lying down with him, since he works nights and was about to go to bed. His phone starts ringing, he doesn't answer bc he is sleepy, but then mine rings.

It's SD22, crying and yelling hysterically. She's saying "I have to get out of here! I'm not safe! I don't like myself very much! Please come get me and let me stay with you (meaning SO) for like a week, and then I'll go move in with mom!" (I'm paraphrasing as it was mostly unintelligible.) SO was clearly distraught. He said he has to work tonight so he can't. She has been living 1.5 hours away with a boyfriend. I asked if she could Uber to the bus station, as she has done that before. She said no, she's broke. SO often transfers money to her bank account so i asked if he could do that so she could Uber. She said no, there's some kind of problem with her account and she can't use it. He looks pleadingly at me and i say "ok, i'll do it."

As I'm getting ready to leave my house, he drives up. He says it's too much to ask me to do, since i had work  from home to do for my job and I had to pick up my daughter in about 4 hours and take her to tutoring. I said "yeah, ok."  But then he tells me his plan. He was driving to SS17's school to check him out and make him drive to get SD. SO said he couldn't go because he had already taken his sleeping pill and wouldn't be safe to drive. I said, no, SS is in high school and it's too far to drive and he has never been to that town, it might be dangerous, so I would go.

I picked her up like 2 hours later ( traffic.) She seemed sad but calm. She said she and her boyfriend broke up but didn't give any details. She said she "had to", but wouldn't say why. I asked her if she was still working at her department store job. She said "yeah...", but offered no explanation as to how she can just disappear for a week. I asked her what her plan was and she said "idk, he and I may get back together. I haven't really thought about it." She then asked if o would buy her lunch.

After I dropped her off just in time to pick up my daughter, i didn't hear from SO until he woke up a few hours later to go to the gym. He said SD told him that the reason she had to run was that her ex girlfriend showed up at her apartment at some point in the past few months (not today), they had a physical fight, and her boyfriend was upset about it. SO made it sound like SD was being so logical and he was proud of her decision. He says he's going to fly her to BM's, and then give BM money to buy SD a car.

There's a lot about this day that pisses me off. Idk, the thing that pisses me off most is that SD's story is clearly bullshit. SO is so happy to buy it and I feel like it insults my intelligence to expect me to believe it. In his family, they do that. Make up a "palatable" explanation for things that only an idiot would believe. I just said "hmmm, that's strange that she would have that reaction, today, to something that happened maybe a month ago." I'm not going to play the "emperor's new clothes" game that he and his mom and his siblings play, where they all act like they believe something ridiculous.

I am also pissed that he would put this on SS. SS already "manages" his mother (different BM from SD's), although today he seems to be rebelling. He is still not home but he is the one who has to call BM every day and ask where and when she wants SS11 dropped off, since it's her custody day and all. It's like 7 on a school night and he's home with SD while SO works out and BM is God knows where. I am not helping with this, and I am not helping with SD22 anymore. Today was the extent of my involvement with her.
