Hello ladies and gents, it's been a minute since I have been around.  Here is an update...

I will preface this by saying that BV has turned into a lovely and caring young woman.  It has been interesting having her back in the house after her first semester at college, and I am very much looking forward to her return in the fall so that I may finally get my empty nest back, but that is really the only reason.

I walked in the house from my office yesterday and DH said "I think BV has been talking to the Beast." 
Me - why do you think that?
DH - I heard her on the phone.
Me - why do you think she was talking to the Beast?
DH  - because when I asked her, she told me.  (men, amirite?)
Me - ah, well okay then.  What happened?

Turns out that the Beast had reached out to BV via Facebook messenger.  BV immediately called ASS, who warned her to just stay away, that all the Beast would do is lie and blame everyone else and never take any responsibility.  Also turns out that the Beast told BV that she has some of her childhood things that she thought BV might like.  

I am sure that you all remember when we in the court battle days that the Judge ordered the Beast to give us all of the childhood memory-type things and she told the Judge that she had thrown them all away.  

Anyway, BV walked down the stairs just a few minutes after DH told me this little nugget of information.  She was on her way to her friend's house.  

Me - hey, heard you had a Beast experience today, how did that go?
BV- it was weird.  ASS was right, she didn't take any responsibility and all she did was blame everyone else.  It was pathetic, really.
Me - oh, sounds like a blast, kiddo.
BV- she is just an old angry woman.
Me - yep.  so, are you going to go see her?
BV- maybe, she says she has some of my childhood things, but I remember reading that email where she said she threw it all away or sold it.  She must think that will lure me back.
Me - will it?
BV - I don't know...I might go see her, but if I do, I am taking BestFriend with me.   ASS said to just ignore her and maybe he's right, I don't know.
Me - well, you need to do what you need to do.  You know what happened, and you know how ASS feels about it. 
BV- what do you think I should do?  Will you guys be mad if I go see her?
Me - Nope, we won't.   We raised you right and you will figure out what is the best thing for you.
BV- okay.  If I do go, I will let you guys know. 
Me - sounds like a plan.

So, that was my Wednesday night, how was yours?   LOL
