DD called about 5:15 pm screaming, asking and accusing me. I pretended to play dumb and lied to her when she asked if I called the cops. DH (who is step-father of 6 yrs) jumped my a$$ for lying to her. I said I will admit it to her and him, but I am going to do it face to face.
Shortly after that the detective called. Evidently they did not stop her ro talk to her. They had gone back in and found the landlord and he looked at the picture and said yes that's him, he's in apt. # XXX. So they went and knocked on the door and the cops even thought at first it was him, but it turned out it wasn't. VERY SIMILAR!
During this time DD had gone to get Jordan from daycare, so this was happening AFTER she left. She had no idea until the guy called her and started accusing her of calling the cops. Of course she denied it and then called me...
So after supper I went over to her place and fortunately he was there too. I listened thru the door for a moment it sounded good in there. I said, good, you're both here and I want you both to hear what I have to say and I don't want either one of you to say a word until I am done. I introduced myself to him and he wouldn't even look at me. I said, please turn around and face me. He said, I can hear you. Again, I said, turn around so I can see your face. He did. I introduced myself to him and proceeded to tell them ME, not Shannon called the cops and went on from there. Afterwards Shannon and him both thanked me for coming over and talking to them. Told them I would do it again in a heart beat. They both seemed to understand why I did what I did.
He left and then I talked to DD for a few minutes and said a few harsh loving words to her. I left on good terms with her.
So fortunately, this time, it turned out all ok. Thank God!
I again want to thank everyone for their support and words of concern. I don't think I would have had the guts to do it, even though it was the right thing to do.
And Bob, I did mention what you sent to me and she said she knows she needs help and will see about calling them. So we'll see. Thanks again for that info.
