I don't have a lot of money right now and my daughter knows this.  I did look into a traditional moving company and it was over $1200.  I'm renting a truck and would gladly provide lunch for all.  I've helped my daughter many times, even since she has been grown, financially and otherwise; in fact, helped her get into her house.  I suppose I did hope she would remember these things, explain to "Bruce", and they would be sympathic to my predicament.  Thanks for your reply.

I have been in medical transcription for 8 years and since our hospital sent us all home I have taken up writing in my spare time. I would like to invite everyone on the board to check out my website for my small publishing company and read about my romance novel.

First with the phone calls, I would use an answering machine and screen all calls, or maybe unplug the phone while you are working.  Can you get one of those cheap pay as you go cell phones, give your dad the number and then change your home # and don't tell him?

It sounds, at least to me, that your dad needs immediate psych help.  Is there a Baker Act or something where you live?  Does your mom have a restraining order on him (it sounds to me like she needs one).  There's only so much you can do for someone that doesn't seem to want help.  While I loved my parents immensely, I would have sent them to an MD or shrink if one of them started doing this.  Sometimes there's a role reversal in parents and adult kids where the parents are acting more like kids which leaves the child to be the adult and make them do stuff they really don't want to.  I've had that happen to me while my parents were sick, and while it wasn't any fun I knew I had to force them to do things (take meds and see MDs) they didn't want to.

Good luck.  Hopefully someone else might have a better solution

I posted before about how my son's ex-girlfriend was sabotaging him receiving an invitation to Sadie Hawkins dance.  The girl that "changed her mind" can't find another date because it is too close to time. 

So she follows my son all over the place, but she has to be loyal to the "Queen Bee" and doesn't seem to have the courage to ask him again.

Four years is a long time to be incarcerated in high school.  Maybe he will get an A in chemistry instead!

She's only a teenager once, and there's only one spring drama performance?  How many weeks could this last?  I wouldn't sweat it too much.  We love to go "up-to-bat" for our children, but we need to pick our battles.  If she is a teenager, you do not want to give the impression that you are not supportive.  We found the same thing happening with baseball practice for our son last year, so we just planned on the "not knowing".  He'll only play baseball for a few months, and then it's over :(  Hang in there, she'll be driving herself soon...  YIKES!  I don't even want to think about that.  Be glad she's involved in drama and not "other things".....  if you know what I mean...   Good luck on the performance. I'm sure she'll make you proud!
