saturday
my daughter was still having a lot of internal input. she had a note of a list i wrote of things to do to keep busy, like use her stress ball and do laundry and she pointed to the 'laundry' on the list when i took her back after a short outing. "do you need to do laundry"? i asked. she nodded yes and as before i went to her room with her and she would usually get her laundry. i walked in her room with her and this time she turned and with her arm straight out she pointed at me and mouthed the words "get out" and actually did that all the way to the door of the building as i left.

So you are saying she wanted privacy/ wanted to do the washing on her own as an adult?
She does wash her own clothes, it's part of the independence she is learning as an adult, yes.
Sometimes, she motions for me to go into her room and has a note for me that she needs something or has a question. (like I need deoderant, etc)
I promote her independence, it's actually required, her showers and self-care, we talk about choices and she makes them. Some days, are out of sync and that day was one of them. She knows one thing for sure, is she has my support as a person.
Thats good news, then that she "kicked" you out.
yes, it is.
my secret wish is to be a logical thinker and not an emotional crier. lol i can't help it i admit i cried all the way home that day, and could barely make it through the grocery store w/out crying, i hate healing via crying.
