After all that has been said & done, "Z" has decided that Whangarei is not where she wants to be. She hates her school, Say's Whangarei is boring for teenagers (which, she is probably right about). She wants to go & live with her father in Auckland. She thinks the grass is greener there than here. I think she could be in for a big disappointment there, but she has made the decision & I have to let her go, even though I'm so disappointed with her decision. We have more or less got ourselves on a good footing now.
On a postive note, though, it means I can now concentrate on doing what I want to do with my life & I have made some big decisions, which will affect my whole life. I'm having to move again, which is a bummer, but in the long run it is good & I've decided to go & do my RN training full time (3yrs worth)at the Polytech. It has been a long time in coming as I've had other things to think about with the kids & an unsupportive arsehole of a husband.
As for her father, well he hasn't changed one bit & is prepared to put, Not only "Z's", but his new wife & unborn baby in danger.
"Z" got her restricted license today. What a performance that wast too. She was supposed to do it last Thursday morning at 8am. The examiner called in sick. (Thank God she did) But if she had gone & passed, her father wanted her to drive straight down to Auckland after school. (Remember she's No expereince of Auckland driving, Motorway or otherwise). Then on the Friday he wanted her to take His Wife & their unborn baby from Albany to Takapuna Hospital. "Z" had no idea where Takapuna was from Albany & her father's wife is Chinese & has even less knowledge of Auckland. Talk about putting lives in danger. He did this because he doesn't want to take time off work as he has only been there a couple of months. As usual thinking of himself & Not his loved ones.
"Z" is very confident, sometimes too confident & that means she can be cocky etc. After she had passed today she couldn't even drive back home, she was so excited. She is at work tonight, so that will be her first experience driving on her own, especially as it will be around rush hour time too.
Guess Who??

My daughter's car, my ex & I went halves & then made her pay us each back half of what we put in, so it makes her more responsible.
... I was very naive in those days
