I am sitting here at this moment absolutely livid. I am so angry I am shaking. You see my 17 year old daughter has lied to me. She asked for the car tonight on the premise that she was going to a hockey game with her boyfriend about 40 minutes away. I run into his mother about 30 minutes ago to learn that they have gone to see about a dog - a trip about 2 1/2 hours away. Now I am sitting here worried half to death, she's only had her licence for 3 weeks (being able to drive alone) She called her dad to get directions and appears that she has lied to him as well. What makes this so disheartening is before the break up my kids have always been forthcoming and never lied to me about anything. She has been pushing me the last two weeks, telling her Dad that things aren't good here at home because of her brother. I guess she feels its okay to lie. I called her father and told him, he said he will deal with it because it will only make things worse between her and I. I counteracted saying no we will both need to deal with this. However, that is why I felt it was important for him to keep in contact with his kids and let them no that his physical presence was required. All I know is that her ass is so grounded when she gets home!
