Well SD has been gone one whole week!!! We have heard nothing from her at all - she has made no attempt to contact her father. We actually got in there and cleaned her room and painted it over the weekend and my husband calls it the new guest room - I was a little nervous about it at first but he seems to be handling it very well and has been involved in fixing up the room.

Well I haven't been on in a while - things were running fairly smooth. My husband and I had started going to counseling and were making some progress. I thought things were going fairly decent with step daughter except she was still lazy and not doing much around the house.

So SD17 drinks NyQuil like crazy. We had to start hiding it so she got her boyfriend to buy her some. The bottle was gone in less than a week. I asked where she got it and she said he got it for her. I said after we took it away and told you that you can't have NyQuil. She attitudingly said ya. Her dad was there and never said a word! Then last weekend a went in her room to fetch something of mine and I see one of my pain pills on her nightstand. I tell her dad and nothing is said. Yesterday I went in her room to get my computer and saw pills on the nightstand so I looked them up.
