I feel so free not having SD in our lives right now!!
SD and H haven't spoken since her meltdown back in December where she screamed at H saying that he is not to call her his daughter anymore and she hates him all because he was trying to get her on track to doing something with her life rather than being a 22 year old who never got her high school diploma and works at a conveience store and spends her free time smoking pot and playing video games. She had a screaming fit at 1AM and immediately called her mother which is her go to any time something goes wrong and BM called her an Uber to wherever and she left at 2AM when she was supposed to get on a plane with us later that day for a trip to Disney. Had to get on the phone an cancel her flight, cancel her portion of the room (luckily we got refunded). H was upset and sad abotu it first but got over it quickly. I told him 8 months prior when he planned this trip and then thought SD should come with us that it was going to be a disaster. He assured me that they'd keep things light and it would be fine. How right I was! If she would have gone, it would have been a nightmare. She'd mope about saying she didn't want to do all the walkign around Disney which would prompt H to get upset with her. She doesn't like to go on rides and would have been upset about that. No doubt if she had come whe would have been on the phone with her mother telling her how we didn't care about her and to get her a flight home.
After the whole scene, that weekend she first unfriend both of us which she does with all her friends and fter ftght and then a couple days later took down her Facebook account, no doubt so we wouldn't contact her that way. She left in such a rush that she left a bunch of stuff--her teddy bear, her dress, which was really her Mom's but she said it was hers, a jack to a game, her makeup. BM contacte me, not H, to ask me to send back her stuff which I didn't do because it's not my problem. H told me to ignore the request. A month later she once again texted me and H this time and said to please send back the bear as SD has had it since she was 2 and she didn't care about the other stuff. H told me to block her number, which I did, and he didn't respond. All the stuff is sitting in our closet. I can imagine H loves it because BM screwed him out of a bunch of his stuff by just giving it away when he was at work one day.
I am over the moon about the whole thing. I shouldn't be, but I am. Not having to deal with wondering if SD and her lazy, hippie boyfriend are going to come up for a visit. No more of H telling me that SD needs to move up here for a fresh start which drove me nuts because you KNOW she would have been living with us even though H said that we'd get her her own apartment and he'd find her a job. She almost bit on it one time and I thought for sure she'd be moving her, but thank god no! No more calling H at midnight because she's having a problem and H's response every time wasn't to help her get over it it it was "You should come up here to decompress" which irritated me so much. Never asking me if it was okay for her to come, just assuming it was fine because he told me that she's welcome to come here any time. Life is just calmer and I love it!
Congrats!
Sounds like a totally miserable situation! Congratulations on your reprieve from the craziness. Here's hoping it lasts for a good long time, if not forever.
Congrats for now!!!
I hope it lasts for you! I feel your pain!
Saying good riddance to toxic
Saying good riddance to toxic is always a good thing. When toxic says good riddance to you it is even better.
Enjoy your toxic free life and marriage.

What is it with these 20+ year old women that continue to behave this way?! It just infuriates me.
we let our (my SD) 25 year old move home to save $ and go to school to get her degree.....she should have her degree by now, but due to her poor life choices, she doesn't have one. After she moved in and b/c of her inability to communicate with her father and I.....the whole arrangement went up in smoke when she decided to secretly change her career path, which included NOT getting her degree. She didn't let us in on her plan b/c the one condition we had was that she could stay with us TO GET HER DEGREE. She is a horrible communicator and when I called her out on her stuff, b/c dad never would, I'm the jerk. She went to live with friends. And you know what the funny thing is.....she never apologized to us for not communicating. Here's the best part, she doesn't like her roommate situation and WANTS TO MOVE BACK. Um , no. She is a grown woman and has the financial resources to do this on her own. She just wants to "save money". How are these kids EVER going to learn if we just keep enabling them? But she plays both sides of the child/adult fence and because of this, along with other things, I can't even stand to look at her. I don't even want to buy her a bday card. I'm so done
I know how you feel
I posted a few days ago about a horrible text my SD sent my DH bascially telling him to get out of her life and I was so happy and relieved too!! Just to know that at least in the forseeable future there will be peace and harmony between you in fabulous.
Here's hoping it continues for as long as possible for both of us
Isn't it just the best??!! We
Isn't it just the best??!! We are going on nearly 3 months now without a word from SD. She's not on Facebook anymore so we can't see what is going on through that. I wouldn't doubt that this time she was serious about not speaking to H again. And it doesn't seem to bother H in the slightest. No more drama filled calls from SD about her boyfriend at midnight becasue she's drunk or high. No more of having to worry if H is going to tell her to come up for a weekend and I DEFINITELY don't have to worry about her moving up here. Oh how I hated whenever H would get on this tangent about how SD needs to move up here and get a place and a job, leave the boyfriend and get away from all the drama down there. Well H, SD IS the drama and it will just follow her up here. No way would she be able to afford a place and you know she'd be at our place.I was so happy when SD left in the middle of the night swearing she'll never speak to H again. I called my mom the next day and told her all the details and even she was happy for me becasue I've told her all the sh*t SD does and says.
We still have a way to go. We
We still have a way to go. We needed to confirm addresses of the kids for the lawyer, so even though DH knows their addresses he texted them - texted them ALL. Apparently heard back from the 2 younger ones but nothing from the OSD. I asked, why did you text? You said you weren't going to. Ugh, long road ahead. I can't wait until it doesn't bother DH
