An idiot. But a wonderful person.

Don't let her come back. Your time and your life is more valuable to you than it is to her. Don't let her abuse it.

I finally got rid of the 30-year-old abusive daughter. That took about 4 years of hell. I'm on one side of the country and she's on the other and while I can't enforce it, I'd be really pissed if she crossed the state line over here.

So yes, while these experiences are not comparable, I feel the difference, the ambience of the house, the sense of freedom when she is not here. And so do you.
