Things have been up and down the last few months, I posted some time ago what my daughter did with the cell phone that I was paying for. This was October and she hasn't spoken to me since, I think she is being unreasonable, she ran up the charges, she should have to pay for those charges. That was the second time her phone was shut off and I told her it would not come back on, she did finally pay for the charges. The phone stayed off though. She was also upset that I didn't save for her college. I haven't exactly been a great spot to do that, I made a mistake several years ago that cost me my freedom, and left me with some pretty sizable fines, and being where I was, I couldn't pay child support. The state is like the Mob, they don't care what your situation, it's like they say in one of my favorite movies, "Goodfellas" "Fuck you pay me".
I worked two jobs for almost two years to pay the back child support, fines, and the cost of court supervision. I worked my ass off to dig out of a hole, and after rebuilding a life she sticks her hand out. At this point I'm glad I didn't give money, I found out that she got a nice sum of money from her mom and is just blowing it on every thing but school!! I say if she wants to go to school so bad, join the Service or get a job. I won't coddle her, but now what??

Now, you wait. She is at the age where she has to learn on her own, join the service, or get a job. You are not her only parent. Her mother could have saved for college too OR Margaret could have gotten scholarships to pay for it like us poor kids did. I did!!I paid my own school and worked my ass off to do it. Just let her be. She will work things out. She has labeled you and Darlene "enablers" because you have come through in the past. Its time to Un-enable. Stick to your guns!!!! She'll be okay even if it takes a few years :) Love ya!!!
