Now that some time has passed, I'm happy to write that we're all doing much better. I'm now a legal adult, Arabella and Brenden are teenagers as of today (Happy birthday to them!) and seem to be happy. Arabella parties a bit too much for my taste, but it hasn't effected her schoolwork and she hasn't broken curfew so I don't say much. She seems to have even been able to make friends which is a relief, but she still talks to herself from time to time which is concerning.
Brenden still wants to be an actor. Maybe he's not going to outgrow that like I thought he would. He was the lead in the school play. I'm looking into signing him up for afterschool acting lessons. I think he'd enjoy that, it'd be a nice surprise for him. He does have a lot of girlfriends, which is fine as long as he remembers to be safe. We had "the talk" so I'm counting on him to be responsible. The last thing I need is another kid to take care of.
I'm considering moving us to another town. The people here are too pushy and intrusive. Twice just this past week people have just walked right into the house. I thought I'd locked the doors, but obviously I was wrong. Maybe we'll do that this weekend. I don't want to move in the middle of a school week.
