Sue, so not expecting to read what i just read.

Hugs to you and your DD. What a father! I bet your X and his wife were looking for some petty excuse to send DD packing back to your house. Just because the money dried up, they weren't going to go into debt for her. How pathetic. If he thinks DD is rude, well he's just effing childish.

Your DD doesn't need him or his wife. Good riddance i reckon. How can a parent hang up the phone to their own kids? What if there really was something important she needed to talk to him about, like an emergency situation??

I think DD needs to go into a school that you can afford now. Why wait until the end of the year and rack up extra expenses for yourselves? She is going to leave that school anyhow isn't she?? What difference will a term make? In fact, it will give her a head start for next year, as she'll already have made friends.

No kid wants to leave their friends behind, but it's just part of life.

I agree with the others, make sure you get some form of documentation which states that DD will be with you from now on.

Gl hun.
