I am slowly coming out of the L induced Fog I've been in - the indecision fog cleared this morning when I discovered 4 additional charges on my credit card! I called the bank - spoke with a Fraud Specialist - we went over which pending charges were mine and he informed me that someone tried to use the card again this morning but it was declined because I had closed the account last night. So - after I spoke with her last night and she inundated me with pleading texts to not do this to her she went out again and tried to use my card!! Un-Frickin-Believable!!
She called me this afternoon around 330 and asked if we could get together and talk things out tonight - I told her No - that I found out that she stole my extra card and was making charges. Of course - deny, deny, deny - I don't have a card. I said - then I don't know how you did it but I have proof that you made fraudulent charges to my card. I told her that at this point she should consider herself lucky because I was not going to press charges - but she was no longer welcome in my house. Tears - where am I supposed to go - please, please, please - don't you care anymore - am I not your daughter. My response to that was - she is still my daughter but she is also a thief and is not welcome in my house. She responded with - If I get killed on the street it will be all your fault. I said - No, it would be her fault because of her decisions. AT this point she hung up on me.
Right now she is here packing up some clothes and her bathroom stuff. I have my purse by my side so she can't take anything out of it - not that I have anything in there - just $21 and my bus pass. I called her Dad and let him know what was going on - wanted him in the loop this time so if L calls him he knows what's going on.
OK - so about 20 minutes have passed - I just helped carry a bin of crap down to her car. This after she yelled at me because her iPod is broken - my old one that I let her use - she has no radio in her car. Then after we got to her car she proceeded to tell me that I don't care about her and probably wish she was dead so she's going to go crash her car! And - she just now called and wanted to know if I love making her feel bad about herself.
Now for the philosophical part! On Easter Sunday it had been raining all day. At around 500 I looked outside and there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Bright, brilliant colors! It made me remember the verse from a song that goes something like - He made us a promise and wrapped it up in a rainbow. I felt like he was telling me that there was new beginnings around the corner. I had thought that meant that L was going to get better and then all this stuff happened. Today I realized that it was telling me that there was a new beginning out there for me. I have my house back and it's time for me to start living my life.
Onward and Upward!
