This is a bit hard for me right now...
Yesterday my 22 year old daughter said that she was moving out. This was after we found inconsistencies in a story she was telling us after not coming home Saturday night without a call or text. I tried texting her and after about an hour without a response I tried calling her phone and it went right to voicemail. So I posted on facebook to a friend she was with the night before if they knew where she was. Shortly after that I received a phone call from her from her phone.
This behavior is not unusual for her. We have had these same issues with her a number of times however the last time this happened. Before this time we had talked to her about respecting our home and our rules if she wanted to live here. She didn't agree with us and that was fine as long as she did what she was asked to do. Really not much at all...Take care of her cat, bathroom, bedroom, put dishes away and be home by 1:00 am or let us know that where she was and that she wasn't coming home that night. Well, apparently that was too much for her.
When we asked where she was and her story wasn't adding up. We told her that this behavior was not allowed in our home any longer. She then stated that she was moving out. We asked her to have her things out by 8pm. When we returned home at 9pm Sunday she had been to the house and removed a few of her belongings. This morning my husband called her and she was on her way home to get her work shoes. Upon coming home and getting her shoes she then started up the stairs to her bedroom where I asked if she had a safe place to stay. She barked back at me, "I don't even have a F***ing shower." She grabbed a few things from her bedroom and left.
I'm really struggling with this as I only want what is best for her and I think she needs to be on her own and figure her life out. I feel we have given her plenty of time and space to do this under our roof, now it's time for her to move on. Now I have a feeling she will be coming back to us asking to stay here again. As this has happened before. I'm just really tired of all the peaks and valley's of her emotional roller coaster however a part of me feels responsible. I'll text her later today just letting her know that I love her.
If you have a minute, please say a prayer for her...Thank you!
