Things aren't the best here and I know that. DH is kind of hard on Emily and it is stressed with 3 small kids in the house now. Em pretty much stays the
summer with her dad (he lives with his mother) and she has more freedom there. He doesn't work (on disability) and they go and do whatever, whenever) He
has been asking her to move in up there. She at first cried to me and said that she didn't want to leave here. Didn't want to leave us, school and
the kids. BUT now she "Is thinking about it". She just said it so out of the blue on the phone that it took me back! I don't want her to move
of course, but I don't want her to be unhappy here. I want her to get a better education than I know she would get there. Her dad isn't very bright.
She turns 12 in November and I know she should be where she really wants to be, but I don't want to lose my baby. She has her own room here, a cell phone
(which would GO if she moved). She sleeps on the freaking couch up there b/c the bedroom is a storage room! UGH, I hate this.

This may just be her way of letting you know that she wants some changes at home and not that she actually wants to live with her dad. She may feel that
if she says she wants to move in with him then the changes she wants will be made easier than if she says "I don't like this, but I don't want to
live with dad either."
. I'm
sure it is hard for her being the oldest w/ 3 little ones being needy (as little ones are!).
