You guys are right. The 'employers' (and I use that term loosely) were just users.

As bad as it turned out, it could have been much, much worse.

I'm glad she feels relieved instead of destroyed.

I read your posts. You aren't boring. Welcome! You'll need to fill yourself in on the saga of txtqueen if you haven't already.

The more the merrier!

In the future, please address questions directly (via DM) to a mod.

Thanks.
Thanks!

Welcome! Anyone is welcome here - just don't call us worthless "breeders" who are overpopulating the world and we'll be fine! LOL.....

The sad part is they couldn't just be rational adults, sit her down and tell her that arrangement wouldn't work for them - that they needed someone more flexible. Not get mad and kick her out like they did (which was illegal). I always thought the relationship seemed unhealthy. Her glomming on to them so quickly and feeling like part of the family was not surprising given her age and background. THEM on the other hand treating her like a daughter so quickly, putting her (and her friend) on their cell phone plan, etc.... seemed weird.
I totally agree..they were looking for an excuse and the dog food situation was handy.

Dew - sorry about your game today...we lost also. Tebow made a valiant effort in the 3rd and 4th quarter..but just not to be....

Quit calling your boyfriend a "boything." It makes me think he had a sex change operation.

txt, I find your whole last post here fairly disturbing. I understand that the nanny family took advantage of you, and I don't disagree with you there. However, the bragging about drug and alcohol use and about sleeping in smacks of the kind of immaturity we've seen over and over again.

I'm glad you're safe, and I truly hope that you find a way to pull yourself out of this hole of bad choices and not-quite-adult responses.

Yeah txt, don't mix booze and pills. It ain't good for you, and will only cloud your judgment. You need your wits about you if you want to move forward. Plus, if you get busted with pills that you don't have a prescription for, you'll never get into the Academy.

I'm glad you got out of the "nanny" situation, but at the time I was all for you getting out of your mom's house, so try not to stay there too long. That's a toxic prescription for you as well.

Hey there passwithoutatrace, please join us. It doesn't matter to me whether you have kids or not. There are some people who post here who's opinion I value regardless.

Morning all! Kinda weird to be back to normal and not have any holiday stuff to deal with. Not sure if I'm happy about that or not!

txt - listen to all of this. Please.

Real adults do not use words like "boything".

You are running on drugs and adrenaline. You will come down. Be careful.

Saying you will "never" have to do something again is absurd.

Take a day, pull your act together and make a realistic plan. Don't get in over your head.
