So I'll try and outline the basics.
Dd has lived with me all her life (obviously!) when she was 13 she went through a horrible stage and moved in with my ex husband..totally a choice between them tha I found very hard. She moved back and lived with me 80/20 more her boyfriends house.
I had to move again 7 months ago and while trying to sort the house I accommodated her needs..a fortnight before I moved she announced she and the bf had a house sorted and she moved out. I'd already agreed the house so I now live in a house effectively too big for me.
She's been there 7 months..most of the time is ok but has her off days like anyone. She's told me this morning she wants to move out..I've always said she can move back in but has to contribute. This in turn has its own problems but I'll get around them.
My selfish side thinks I should let her fend for herself..the motherly side says stand by her. My dad kicked me out years ago and I know how hard it is.
She's announced she has to bring her 2 cats with her wherever she goes?..an absolute no my end.
I've also been seeing someone who I think is amazing. We've talked about living together in the future and this is something I'd love to do..child free?!
Opinions?!
What would you do?
