Leigh made a decision today that I think might help all of us. Best of all, she made it maturely and rationally. (Anyone who have kids ever have them behave rationally when you can't/won't? It's really humbling. And annoying.)
I digress.
Leigh is moving into her boyfriend's (babydaddy's) mom's house. His mother is a lovely woman; thoughtful, selfless and kind; the kind of person I wish I could be. Craig, Leigh's boyfriend, is her youngest, so she has two empty bedrooms and a lot of time on her hands. And, she adores Leigh. Even now. I believe the woman is a saint.
There was no animosity in this move. Leigh will continue to attend college - for another month - four days per week, then come home to Judy's house from Thursday through Sunday so that Leigh can keep her waitressing job. (She also got a "real job" offer last week! Yea for her!!)
As far as I can tell, there are no hard feelings regarding the move, unless there are some from Jack - we haven't had any constructive conversation today. I'm still waiting, as bedtime approaches, if he is going to make good on his statement that he is going to sleep in Leigh's room for the forseeable future.
Sweetie, I don't know what's going on with you, but now I'm worried. It's been over a month since your last post. Are you all right? Anything I can do?
Jules
