We have a date for when my husband's ex will move back to SC to live with her daughter: somewhere around the end of July and the beginning of August. Mid-summer.
We found this out when we noticed she was looking at houses online. Maggie has been at the same company 13 yeas and is considered a good risk for a mortgage. Houses here are cheap, and she is pre-qualified to get a loan on small one. So she's been looking. The financial education involved in her getting her own car and paying her own insurance and slowly paying more and more of her own way has left her an independent adult. Brian thinks his daughter learned a great deal as my "apprentice" and that she has the skills now to run a household and not be taken in by her mother's financially grasping ways.
What's odd and touching is how much Maggie is carefully spending time with me as if she will miss me. I will miss her, too.
