Well that didn't last long.

We got a call at quarter after one Sunday morning asking one of us to drive 20 miles and pick up Katie because she was drunk and wanted to get home. Since we didn't want her driving drunk, Greg went to pick her up. When he got there, she said she was hungry and wanted to stop at a convenience store to pick up something to eat. While there she ran into a couple of guys she knows and informed Greg she was going to a party with them rather than home with him.

Greg told her he hadn't driven all that way in the middle of the night just to see her walk off drunk with someone else. She got irate, swore and yelled, called him names, then stomped out of the place leaving him standing there red faced. He drove around for an hr trying to find her then came home alone.

Sunday morning we found out she had gone back to her car, got arrested for DUI and spent the night in jail. She called and wanted us to go with her to pick up her car. Instead, we got hold of the keys from a friend of hers, brought the car to our house, and took the battery out and unhooked a couple essential things so she can't drive it.

The car is in MY name, and there's no way we're enabling her to drive drunk again. She will lose her license now for at least a yr, so we plan to sell the car to recoup some of the money she owes us and put a stop to her arguing about getting it back.

So right now we're on her most hated list again. She's "punishing us" right now by staying away. I figure she'll need us before we need her, so am just going to wait and see how long it takes her to contact us. She has a drinking problem, and refuses to change, so we often have to draw a line when it comes to dealing with her. It's sad, but she'd have us both in the loony bin if we gave in to her way of thinking.
