So last I wrote, SD15 aka Demon was refusing to go to school, but Seeing as how she had no other options, She has been going, and has actually been doing fairly well. She is the Manager of the volleyball team, but still seems to have minimal friends, as tends to happen when you act like she does. She has been working a bit and going to therapy, so that's something.

Because heaven forbid we just have a bit of peace! 
 

Last week SD15 told DH she doesn't want to go to  school. We live in a small town- besides an expensive religious school, it's the only option. DH tells her that. He said next year, when she's a Junior, she will have her license and can drive to the next town's school if she really wants to. Sat. Night DH and I were camping and I got woken up at 3:30am by SD texting DH once again (she made the text go through despite him having his phone on DND) asking him to not go to this school. I was not amused. 
 

SS18 will be gone 1 week as of tomorrow, and here's how it's going so far: 

-We have discovered a trove of lies he has told. How he "didn't go to his ex gf's house" the night before he left, immediately after dropping off his current gf, even though the ins app clearly shows her house as the end point. 

First off, you all are the sweetest, and I truly mean that. Thank you for all of the kind words and thoughts. I really was just sad and everything felt so surreal. I still feel just emotionally exhausted, but at least things are marginally better now.
