You're such a gorgeous person Luce.

IMO though I wouldn't take her on. As much as she is like family to you I think it wouldn't be good for Bella. You have finally got to a "good place" with her and I think that if D were to move in it would put thoughts in Bella's head. If D gets a job and is earning money do you think Bella would then want the same? Not having homework, being able to go to work and have sparetime with no homework involved, having an income and in result "not having" to do chores to help you out for extra cash?!?

I'm just thinking back to when I was a teenager and I wanted to do what my friends were doing. Once I saw "the otherside" and that I could go out and work and escape the clutches of my teachers I was all for leaving. Due to my amazing Mum she pulled me back into line but at the same time I disconnected from "those" friends I mentioned.

I don't know if I have been any help and I completely understand that you are between a rock and a hard place. I just worry for yoursake. You and Bella have come so far and I would hate to see anything ruin that.
