I wanted to share more of the conversation I had with my daughter. I swear all of this is what she said.

My daughter talked about how calm things were now and how easy things were. I said, “Yeah. You know, I see a lot of people struggling with costs of everything, and costs of going through school or training all the time in my work. We have quite a bit of stability. I don’t understand why she’d give up this stability for the instability she has now.”

And she said…. “I don’t think she misses this at all. I think she’s happier partying and whatever than being here. She doesn't have instability. She has money.”

“I don’t know that she does. I can’t picture things being stable.”

She got angry and said, “I know she has money. If she didn’t, she’d be back. You said court was delayed because she got a new lawyer. That was probably really expensive. Her car is expensive. So, she’s got money to spend to take more from us. If she was out of money she wouldn’t have a lawyer, and she’d be back, because she knows she can play you and you’d give her money. Seriously Dad she always knew she could wrap you around her finger. If she came back saying she was starving and had nothing, you’d look after her. You’ll know when she’s out of money when she shows up at the house crying with nowhere to go. In the mean time she’s got the money she took from us, took from her mom, and probably the money from whatever man she's sold herself to.”

So.... Yeah. I've been floored by that conversation.
