Sad Update, Part II

The worst part, and this is so terrible, is that she even lied about who she stayed with when she came home. Her sister ratted on her, so this is how I know, but I have to pretend not to know, which is emotionally painful and makes me physically ill. She cheated on her inappropriate boyfriend with her old boyfriend, whom I used to like, but now has learned to treat her like shit because she allows it. She stayed with him in a tent or something on his friend’s yard and slept with him. How vile and low can you get?

When she got home, she fell very ill; she was throwing up, nauseated, tired, weak, and in a lot of pain. For a week, she was at doctors’ offices, urgent cares, and the ER trying to get help. She was in the ER all of Monday, January 22 (this wasn’t a lie; she shared her location with me via iPhone), and was in touch with me regularly. She even cried that she needed her mommy. However, when I offered to fly up, she dismissed that pretty quickly. She had some kind of infection and was convinced she had meningitis (but she was vaccinated as a kid), but ultimately it turns out that the main issue is an ulcer—a bleeding ulcer and she had a severe migraine. She’s now on a bland diet and some medications, which I hope she continues with.


Sad Update, Part I

Time for an update. Daughter has been in Portland nearly four months, and she’s not doing great--not following through on all the promises to me and to herself. She’s as behind as an adult as she ever was, the difference being I can’t see it first-hand. We had a crisis, though, so I had to swoop in . . . again . . . and for what?

First the lies. Even though she’s 24, she still lies like a 15-year-old about everything. I know from her sister that her inappropriate boyfriend was living with her, at least until this past week. However, any time I asked about if she had a roommate, she said she was all alone.

Then a couple of weeks ago, she texted me and said, “I have a surprise for you. Will you be home tomorrow?” Obviously, she was in town and she was the surprise.
