She took it out of her profile. I didn't say anything to her.

The whole thing is so complicated. She moved to stay with her dad (3 houses away) about a week ago - she had been with me for 1 1/2 years (before that 6 mos with him, and 2 years with me - before that we were together). He finally bought her a new bed. She and I had a major fight over her keeping her candy out of the dog's reach. I know I was right in asking her to search around for her candy scattered through the house.

Maybe it was just time for her to spend some time with him (she seems to have trouble "splitting" her time between the houses - she likes to entrench herself somewhere and not move). Heaven knows I can use the break. She certainly does take a lot of energy.

She refuses to go to therapy (even though our family doctor wanted her to go a year ago when he diagnosed depression - which she denied).

I understand about the being 15 part, and separating and all. It is still murder to live with. My older 2 were very different when they were 15 (well, my oldest went from 6 to 30 - she never was 15).

But she was happy to let me take her to get her hair cut, and buy some clothes, and get her passport picture taken, and go to the Post office to apply for her passport, and for me to pick her up from work tonight. I hope, deep inside, that she took that out of her profile because she realized, maybe just a little, that she needs me.

Thanks for letting me rant. It does help.
