My Exhausting Daughter

I don't really meddle, but I don't quit either. My daughter has been evasive with me and, I admit, I freak out a little. I assume she's either high or in jail, given her history, even though I should probably give her the benefit of the doubt. She hasn't been involved in either of those very bad things for the last two years. (I heart probation.)

Anyway, I texted her a response at 5 a.m. to an "announcement" she made (via text) that she was applying for a job in walking distance to her apartment. Now, mind you, she just told me she loves her job. Her car is in bad shape, but she also told me her boyfriend (ex-boyfriend?) fixed it and she was going to get it from his house over the weekend.

So according to the information she gave me, she had a car and a job.

After she text-yelled at me for texting in the morning, she ignored me until the afternoon, when she admitted that she was fired from her job and her boyfriend (ex?) was not finished with the car. I could only ask why she didn't reach out to me and all she said was that she didn't want to tell me anything negative. I get it.
