[tiny filter] The next step:

[fancycwabs]

Mrs Cwabs moved almost all of her crap out today. She left my daughter's bed and hope chest--the bed being the one thing I actually wanted her to remove in all of the stuff in the house (our daughter's bed), but what can you do with someone who's completely and utterly passive-aggressive?

She also left the house a complete disaster, and took the vacuum.

Someone left some sandwiches in one of my ice chests for far too long; and instead of cleaning it out decided to hide it in the trash can, so there's another thing I'll have to clean up after--then again, cleaning up after folks has been all I've done for the last few months. It's a big part of my pressuring Amy to move herself and our daughter out of here, so I wouldn't have perpetual trash-making machines on the property who can't be bothered to wash a dish.

Today I discovered that rather than moving in with Amy, my daughter has opted to move in with a neighbor. Therefore I will be required to change the locks to prevent my house from becoming an after-school fuck pad for her. The little cwab's biological father told me he'll be suing for custody, which is about as dumb a thing as I've heard when you're talking about a seventeen-year-old. The custody fight will take six months at a minimum, and child support ends at 18, so it's just money down the toilet. But it's his money, so whatever.

He also told me that Mrs. Cwabs and M. had had a lesbian declaration of love ceremony, which sounds like he was trying to get a rise out of me. I didn't rise to the bait. He's been where I am, though, so we have that in common.

Complain complain complain. At least I can start to make things right, now.

I suppose I ought to file the paperwork to make it all legal.

I hope things calm down for you really soon. And changing the locks is probably a good idea, yeah.

That's a load of suck. I'm sorry. *hugs*

And an aside: if there's ever a time you're entitled to complain a bit, now's it.

I agree with the above posters.

Change the locks, file the papers, clean the house.

Then sit back, breathe, and realize that you lived through it. There are more rough waters ahead: but you have survived the worst of the storm.

Good job.

I just have random *mojo* to offer. Everyone else has good ideas. But you're right- at least you're moving toward something good.
