Hello all,
To say we have been busy is an understatement.
Somewhat of a update about our Taylor...we are optimistic about what's been happening, but we are keeping our expecations low.
We had her move out a couple of months ago. She was choosing to contuine using pot, wouldn't go to school and wouldn't get a job. She moved out with "friends" and soon realized it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. She got a job, moved out of her "friends" house & found new roomates.
We knew all this from people who had spoken to her, as she told us not to contact her.
About 2 weeks ago her grandfather passed away, the one who butted his nose into things he shouldn't have. I contacted her ready to be told not to contact her again, but felt it was important to let her know about the memorial service. She called us and asked if she could go with her sister.
Hubby and I talked, I called her back and spoke to her for a bit. She's got a job, a new boyfriend for about 3 months, is finishing school in January & looking at college. She wants to start talking again and coming over for Sunday dinner.
Ok, we can start from there. She came with her boyfriend this weekend, introduced him to us and went to the memorial service with her sister. They had a nice time, went to the service, the beach and grabbed a bite to eat.
We invited Taylor and Boyfriend to Thanksgiving, which for us will be on Saturday or Sunday over Thanksgiving (depends on hubby schudule, as he works on Thanksgiving). Taylor called and said they would like to come to just let us know.
So we shall see what goes on, like I said we are staying optimistic, but not getting our hopes up....as we have had good go bad real quick.
You all enjoy your day....

I can understand why you don't want to get your hopes up again, but that sounds quite promising. I hope things continue to improve.

That is good news in the right direction. The fact that she has made these positive changes by herself, for herself is heartening. I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving.

I've got my fingers crossed for you that things go well. It sounds like she is taking babysteps toward rebuilding. I wish you, your family and Taylor well as you navigate this. And I give you tons of credit for managing to remain calm, cool, and collected.

Keeping expectations low is a good thing but your update does sound promising. The decision to move from her initial place because she didn't like the situation and wanted better, shows that she is thinking about the future. It is great news that she is going back to school and thinking of college.
I hope you have a lovely Thanksgivng together.

I'm sorry that you had to make the tough decision to have her move out. I get it though. She had to see what it was like in the real world. You did the right thing and I hope the holidays are enjoyable for everyone as you chart a new path in your relationship with her.

I can totally understand your caution in hoping DD is getting her life back on track. But I will definitely pray that this sticks and she comes back to the fold with a new understanding of how her actions affect the whole family. Keep us updated!

Looks like your daughter is transitioning into adulthood a little early, many do the same things that she has when they leave home for college so at least she has gotten some of that out of the way. I am happy for her and your family, there is hope here. Just make sure that during Thanksgiving, keep your opinions to yourself, smile and nod, a lot, and don't be baited into controversial conversations. I learned this tactic from my mother in law and believe me, it is a sanity saver. Later, when you get some one on one time, and emotions are lower, you can speak a little freer while realizing that your relationship has changed and your daughter is learning to become who she chooses to be.
